Christmas dinner in Beijing

Beijing is famous for Peking Duck so we decided to celebrate Christmas by having Peking Duck for Dinner. Sven (Germany) who we met in Mongolia had been to Beijing before and had ate in a restaurant that is said to be one of the best places to have Peking Duck in Beijing. By Chinese standards the restaurant is quite expensive but we decided to give it a try as it was a special occasion. In total 8 of us went for dinner together, 5 of us who had met in Mongolia and then 3 guys we met at the hostel.

We let Sven order for us as he had been there before so he knew what he was doing. Well he might not have known what he was doing but he knew more than any of us.

We ordered 3 ducks for the group and the chef came and carved them beside our table.

They use all parts of the duck and will even make a soup for you from the carcass if you want. We didn't take this option but they also served the ducks brains which we all tried.
