Festive offerings from an old favorite
Beijing's Quanjude chain is gearing up for the New Year with special, festival dishes.
The Qianmen branch's menu includes beef ribs and milk-flavored duck breast with black pepper, slow cooked at a constant temperature, giving it the best taste and texture.
There are also duck dishes done in the Sichuan style.
For appetizer, try "mouth-watering" duck, which is boiled and brined, before being topped with a spicy sauce of chili, prickly ash seeds, mashed peanut and sesame.
Or, a spicy pot with duck blood, duck claw, pork tripe, besides mushroom and lettuce.
The Olympic Village branch offers duck tongue and bean curd soup, dry-fried beef slices, and brown-braised pork with chestnut.
Quanjude's festival gift boxes, including preserved eggs and white liquor, are available at its restaurants, and at major department stores and supermarkets.
