Peking Duck – “The First Dish to Taste in China”

No trip to China is complete without tasting the Beijing delicacy of roast duck in Buddhist style. But what if one has never visited the country nor has had the luck to relish it? Well then, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants in the Cayman Islands, serving the authentic version with great love and care. By ...
... this, you can get a hint of its exclusivity.

Slow roasted and served alongside hoisin sauce, cucumber, carrots, and scallion, Peking Duck is a traditional Chinese dish. The crispy skin and tender meat are very characteristic of it. Specially bred for at least 65 days and seasoned, the roasting is usually finished in a closed or hung oven.

Since the Imperial Era

Just like it’s hard to resist this iconic Beijing dish at a Chinese restaurant in the Cayman Islands, it’s tough to overlook its history. So, its aroma takes us back to the Ming Dynasty, when it got introduced in the royal court. Later, a restaurant in Beijing by the name of ‘Bianyifang’ introduced it into its menu in the year 1416. Roasted in a closed oven with pre-heated walls, the dish was greatly admired by all.

Years later, in 1864, another restaurant called ‘Quanjude’ introduced it into its menu by experimenting with a different cooking method of hanging it over open flames. It’s a pleasure to reveal that both the cooking styles exist today all across Beijing.
