Biar Betul.

I'm 17. Will be sitting for SPM this year. And heck, it probably'd be much more than a common thing for others my age to lament, sulk, complain and bitch about the already obscene amount of workload given to and expected from us. But, I'll just let the others do the complaining.

Today's Awal Muharam so obviously, there's no school; it's a public holiday. And suffice to say, I haven't done anything much of particular productivity as of yet. Haven't heard from the band guys, the missus' busy entertaining some mates, keane's being a twat, traffic's probably killer today, no one's feeling sporty to play futsal today, I've ran out of dvds to watch, there's nothing awesome in the fridge to whip up or create, so technically, it's a pretty screwed up day i suppose. i hate just sitting around and not being able to move about or get or go out.

So I decided that I'd just do another food review.

Let's give the French a run for their money.

That above, is a Hong Kong roast duck. Where to find it? Loong Foong Restaurant, SEA Park, Petaling Jaya. It's a corner shop lot, on the way to the Taman Paramount LRT Station. It's not a typical 'Tai Tong-ish' restaurant but rather an open-air 'tai chow' place. Back to the duck. Why's it good? Cos they serve their ducks straight outta their own door-less oven. And the meat is firm but tender and has the right degree of juiciness. Nothing short of good. They sell an average of up to more than 50+ ducks a day and is usually sold out before 2030 hours. Bookings and reservations recommended.

Beijing or Peking roast duck is not to be confused with the Hong Kong version. The Beijing version is smaller in size and after roasting, it's skin removed to be eaten with egg pancakes or crepes. In my opinion, I'd prefer the Hong Kong version as it has a more robust aroma and flavour, especially the ones sold at this particular outlet. The French like their duck rare and pink, but we Chinese believe in cooking our food really through. All in all, the Hong Kong roast duck served at this outlet hits all the right notes in the aroma, taste and texture department. And oh, it'll set you back RM40 for a whole bird, which will comfortably feed 4 or 5. If you're a fan of duck meat or dishes, this won't disappoint.

Laters.
