xcanuck Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm still in for Peking Cheers. Of course, this means that I'm going to have to stay at work until 7pm. No sense in going home all the way to SS only to drive back a few minutes later. I stopped in there for a take out lunch on Friday and ordered the Fried Silver Anchovy Rice. I've seen the dried anchovies in Asian markets before and there are several different sizes. They used the absolute smallest ones I've ever seen - about 1/4" in length. To be honest, they didn't add as much flavour as I hoped for. Also, the rice seemed burned. I think they rushed the order, or didn't stir it frequently enough. But some of the rice was barely cooked while other bits were burned. The guy taking my phone order didn't understand what I was asking for so it had to be cooked after I arrived to pick it up. Maybe the rush to get the order out caused the poor cooking. I'm hoping for much better tonite. I just hope someone will join me in ordering the "interesting" stuff. I'm dying to try things like the spicy shredded port tripe, beef tendon w hot sauce, and spicy chicken gizzards. DanielK - is the tea smoked duck (half) for 9.95 the one you've been recommending? Is that something you need to order in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 DanielK - is the tea smoked duck (half) for 9.95 the one you've been recommending? Is that something you need to order in advance? Nope - they have a traditional Peking Duck, crispy skin, pancakes, scallions, sauce, etc. carved tableside. For as long as I can remember (10+ years), it's been $10.95, eat-in only, Sunday-Thursday. The menu has always had a higher price (closer to the $20-$30 typically seen in this area), but the special was indicated by a poster on the wall. No idea if this special continues with the new chef. We'll find out tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
