/ DELIRIOUS FOR DUCK
E/ There’s something tantalising
about having a freshly roasted duck
expertly carved at your table – and
it’s a ritual to be enjoyed at every
Beijing duck restaurant. Quanjude
(Wangfujing branch, [phone]
3310) is a popular choice, but it can
get busy so booking is essential.
A relative newcomer compared to
155-year-old Quanjude, Da Dong
(Sanlitun branch, [phone]
1808) is unusual because its
excellent version is roasted for
almost twice as long as the
45-minute norm. At Duck de Chine
([phone]) they dry birds
for two days before cooking to
ensure a crispy bronze skin.
I/ Ada sesuatu yang begitu
menggoda saat bebek panggang
yang masih panas disajikan di meja
Anda ketika bersantap di restoran-
restoran bebek di Beijing.
Quanjude (cabang Wangfujing,
[phone]) adalah salah
satu yang populer dan ramai, jadi
ada baiknya Anda melakukan
reservasi. Restoran lainnya adalah
Da Dong (cabang Sanlitun, +86 10
6551 1808), yang sudah beroperasi
155 tahun dan menyajikan bebek
yang dipanggang dua kali lebih lama
dari waktu normal 45 menit.
Sementara, di Duck de Chine
([phone]), daging bebek
dikeringkan selama dua hari
sebelum dimasak, sehingga kulitnya
lebih renyah.

 The palace was the imperial family’s

Palace is equally romantic...
afterwards: it allows visitors to stay until 8pm from April to
October. The palace was the imperial family’s warm-weather
pleasure dome, and it is a lovely place to watch the sun go
down. The nearby Old Summer Palace is equally romantic:
it was the glorious (in part European-style) residence of
19 th century emperors, but was trashed by rampaging
foreign forces in 1860. The soldiers left the exquisitely
ornate buildings, fountains and meeting halls in ruins,
but they are still magnificent in all their tumbledown glory.
