Existing since the South-Song Dynasty, the Peking Roast Duck dish was originally named Zhiya. By the Ming Dynasty, it featured as one of the main dishes on imperial court menus. Containing protein, natural fat, carbohydrate, calcium, iron and vitamin B, duck meat is very nutritious, and is a popular choice for those who wish to eat a healthy food.
The traditional "hung-grilling" method of duck roasting dates back 150 years, and Shang Palace Roast Duck is carefully prepared through an intricate process of gassing, cleansing, scalding, coating, airing and water filling. Every part of the procedure is strictly monitored and carefully undertaken by experienced chefs. In terms of scalding and airing, for example, it is critical that the chefs master the soaking time of the duck in the boiling water and the airing sequence in order to maintain the duck’s even and well-rounded shape as well as a crispy taste.
