If you come to China, roast duck (kao ya) is a must-have. Kao ya is a famous, delicious dish in China with a history of 1,600 years.

An authentic kao ya should be roasted delicately in an oven burning fruit wood. The temperature and timing should be strictly controlled. To keep the skin crisp and the meat tender, kao ya should be taken out of the oven after 50-minutes. A roast duck must be cut into more than 100 slices within several minutes after it has been brought out of the oven. Each slice contains skin and meat. Thin pancakes, Chinese onions, cucumbers and special sauce are used to complement kao ya.

Now you have followed us so far, if you still haven't decided to try this famous Beijing speciality then you will probably miss the most enjoyable culinary experience of your life.
