Chapter 782 Thailand’s Capital Roast Duck
As the sky gradually darkened, there were more and more people on the street, and Yuan Zhou also finished his last bite of mango sticky rice.
"How is it?" Xiao Xing asked curiously.
"With added sugar, it's a little too sweet." Yuan Zhou said honestly.
"I think it's okay, but I think this rice isn't as fragrant as the rice you used to make porridge." Xiao Xing looked at the half-full mango glutinous rice in his hand.
"Let's go eat roast duck." Yuan Zhou turned and walked towards the street.
"Okay." Xiao Xing nodded repeatedly and threw away the mango sticky rice in his hand while Yuan Zhou wasn't paying attention.
Yuan Zhou was walking in front. When he heard the muffled sound coming from the trash can, he didn't make a sound and just walked forward.
We are not in Yuan Zhou's store now, so Yuan Zhou can only impose strict requirements on himself. He must finish the food even if it is not delicious, so that he can set such a rule in the store.
But there is no need for the tour guide, after all, he is not Yuanzhou's diner.
The roast duck restaurant is very big, and its signboard is "Jingcheng Roast Duck" with four gilded characters. There are two tall greeters standing at the door. When they see the two people, they immediately greet them.
"Sawadika" the two said hello in Thai, and then led the people in.
As soon as he sat down, Yuan Zhou spoke before Xiao Xing handed over the menu.
"Let's have a roast duck first, and then some of their specialties, but I don't want the bird's nest or shark's fin." Yuan Zhou said directly.
"Okay, then let me ask what the characteristics of their home are." Xiao Xing nodded.
"Serve the roast duck first." Yuanzhou decided to be the first to eat the roast duck.
"Okay." As soon as Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Xiao Xing spoke to the waiter behind him.
Of course, the two of them spoke all in Thai. After they finished speaking, Xiao Xing also translated their conversation.
You should know that Yuanzhou has not officially been to the capital yet, but he was passing by for a connecting flight once. Therefore, Yuanzhou has never eaten authentic Beijing roast duck.
Therefore, Yuanzhou is quite looking forward to this roast duck.
You know, the Capital Roast Duck in Quanjude that Yuan Zhou knows about used to have to be booked three months in advance, and a fee had to be paid. This fee was not the price of the roast duck, but the price of the duck's feed during this period, and then Quanjude fed it for three months. Finally, go eat that carefully raised duck.
Just imagine how much work goes into making such a duck and how delicious it is.
"I wonder if it will taste better than the one in Chengdu." Yuanzhou thought to himself.
"Tap tap tap" A waitress came with a tray. On it were several plates of sauces and side dishes, including green onions and cucumbers, shredded bell peppers and the essential lotus leaf pancakes.
"It came pretty quickly." Yuan Zhou looked at the ingredients on the table and waited for the main meal to arrive.
"The ducks here sell pretty well." Xiao Xing said.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
At this time, another waiter came over and brought a tray.
The waiter came over and took out a large white plate from the tray, which contained neatly arranged duck slices.
"Chef Yuan, the duck is here, you can try it." Xiao Xing motioned to Yuan Zhou to invite him first.
However, Xiao Xing looked up and saw Yuan Zhou staring at the duck in front of him with a strange expression.
"Is this a duck slice?" Yuan Zhou asked with a frown.
"Yes." Xiao Xing nodded and looked at Yuan Zhou in confusion.
"It's all duck skin?" Yuan Zhou asked again.
Yes, what the waiter just brought was a plate of neat duck skin, roasted to a crispy brown and oily, with no trace of duck meat left on it.
"It's wrapped in this and eaten." Xiao Xing explained.
"Where did the duck meat go?" Yuan Zhou asked confusedly.
"It's a duck bone, right? It's said to be fried and delivered.
"Xiao Xing looked at the menu, and then said naturally, there's nothing wrong with it.
Yuanzhou still looked confused. How could you eat roast duck with lotus leaf cake wrapped in duck skin? This is too strange. Is this duck skin special?
Seeing that Yuan Zhou didn't take action, Xiao Xing didn't take action either, but drank the juice quietly.
"Forget it, just do as the Romans do, eat and see." Yuanzhou hesitated for a while, but decided to eat before talking.
But when eating, Yuan Zhou was a little tired looking at the side dishes, because the onions in the package were not green onions, but the white ones from small onions.
It was cut into finger-length pieces and placed on a small plate. Yuanzhou saw that it was indeed wrapped in this package, so he didn't hesitate and started eating directly.
Yes, Beijing roast duck naturally has to be wrapped by hand to be delicious. Yuanzhou was not polite. He picked up a small piece of duck skin and placed it directly on the lotus leaf pancake. Then he added roast duck sauce, green onions, and shredded bell peppers and folded it. He popped it directly into his mouth and started eating.
"Crack." Yuan Zhou bit into the crispy duck skin.
However, as soon as you bite into it, all the fat in the skin comes out. Because there is no lean meat as the protagonist to absorb the fat, it becomes burnt. The taste of duck fat is instantly in your mouth, and the extremely greasy feeling fills your mouth.
"It's really a strange experience, Xiao Xing, you should try it too." Yuan Zhou reluctantly chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed, and then said to Xiao Xing.
"Okay." Xiao Xing nodded.
You should know that Xiao Xing still visits here with his girlfriend from time to time, and also comes to this shop to eat roast duck, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with just wearing duck skin.
Xiao Xing added more green onions and sauce as usual, then wrapped one and stuffed it into his mouth, and started eating directly.
"Well, it's so greasy." Xiao Xing couldn't help but frown as soon as he entered the mouth.
After all, you had to eat the dishes and rice made by Yuan Zhou’s divine craftsmanship at noon. It’s really inhumane to eat this now.
Even the comparison of the mango sticky rice just now is not so exaggerated. After all, one is a snack and the other is for dinner.
It doesn’t matter if the snacks taste bad, but why does the roast duck that was once so delicious taste so bad?
"How?" Yuan Zhou asked with a frown.
After all, Yuanzhou was afraid that it was because of the taste that he found it unpalatable. What if Bangkok liked to eat it this way?
"It tastes terrible, but you made it delicious, Boss Yuan." Xiao Xing said without hesitation.
"I understand." Yuan Zhou nodded and felt relieved.
The two of them ate roast duck, and then the dishes came one after another. Yuanzhou ate one after another, preparing to finish the last of the food fund.
Xiao Xing on the side kept grimacing, as if he was in pain.
The more unpleasant the food in your mouth is now, the more it will highlight the deliciousness of the lunch meal.
Xiao Xing complained while eating, but seeing Yuan Zhou eating so seriously, he was instantly in awe. After all, Yuan Zhou was a person who could cook such delicious food, but he could still eat such unpalatable food.
"Why didn't you think the Beijing roast duck in Chinatown was so unpalatable before?" Xiao Xing bitterly said with disgust.
The Beijing roast duck meal in the evening not only introduced Governor Yuan, but also made the tour guide Xiaoxing realize how unpalatable the food in Chinatown is.
"Maybe my sense of taste was malfunctioning before." Xiao Xing said to Yuan Zhou seriously.
"No, you just don't know me." Yuan Zhou said calmly: "If I had met earlier, your sense of taste would have lost its function long ago."
