The last time I thought the duck was a bit dry. I've enjoyed the duck at Song Chu and at 33F at TWC but I heard the duck at Yen is also good.joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929132028327934282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-30035497400679537212010-10-28T11:54:31.233+08:002010-10-28T11:54:31.233+08:00I went to the try the Peking duck at Celestial and...I went to the try the Peking duck at Celestial and was not impressed. Having said that, I have eaten Peking Duck in HK and was blown away. At Celestial we ordered 2 ducks, the meat was a little cold and the pancakes weren't that warm. The rest of the dishes were lacking flavour. Does anyone know if there is a place in Taipei to get duck that compares to HK?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-2516572850196428492010-03-27T17:54:31.830+08:002010-03-27T17:54:31.830+08:00This has been a great restaurant for many years.

I still live here in Taiwan and have found no better duck.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508250379598443436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-33827708226261611152008-06-25T23:22:00.000+08:002008-06-25T23:22:00.000+08:00what's the closest metro to this restaurant?

My family has quite the history here: two of my aunts had their wedding receptions here years and years ago. This place, despite being kinda cheesily decorated, used to be a pretty happenin' and top-notch restaurant (as evident from the 1980's awards they still hang up behind the hostess stand). The duck is indeed quite divine. The celery dish you're referring to is called li shan celery (a.k.a.: li2 shan1 chin2 tsai4), and that is their "famous" dish. Two bloated-from-too-much-duck thumbs up for this place from this reviewer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-13889648936177119172008-05-12T23:12:00.000+08:002008-05-12T23:12:00.000+08:00The "Chinese Burrito" looking thing sounds and loo...The "Chinese Burrito" looking thing sounds and looks so tasty!
