The duck fresh from the bake
the duck that was presented
I really cannot recommend enough of the Salt Baked Eight Treasure Duck. The duck has to be baked 10 hours ahead to you have to order a day in advance. The duck is deboned and stuffed with glutinous rice, wolfberries, mushrooms, shrimps, BBQ pork and over 10 other ingredients. Then it is wrapped in foil then covered in salt before baking. The presentation itself is also interesting. The salt forms a layer of hard crusted brown piece that looks something like a durian. This layer has to be knocked open with a hammer to get the duck.
The result is duck meat so tender that it breaks without much efforts. The flavours were so awesome that it takes a while for you to take it all in, the combination of the herbs and rich flavour from the mushrooms, shrimps all absorbed in the rice which made the glutinous texture that much more palatable. Although salt was used, it wasn't dry at all and every ingredient did its part to give its own unique flavour.
The portion is enough for 4-6 pax on its own and costs RM98. A highly recommended dish.
