Then they cut the skin off and serve it on a dish with "bao" bread shaped like a fat tortilla (an obese tortilla really) and you put the skin in there with hoisin sauce and some scallions. OH YUM. Then they serve the meat on another platter and you eat that with rice. The chicken I really think they deep fry it just like how they deep fry turkeys. Both were good. I liked the duck better, more fat. 
As for shrimp, we did have the honey walnut shrimp. That's one of my all time fave Chinese dishes. Breaded deep fried (huge) shrimp covered in a mayo sauce with candied walnuts and sesame seeds. That's as sweet as I'll go, but omg I love that. One of the more pricier Chinese dishes though. |
We love Peking duck....but expensive! Ever since we had deep fried turkey years and years ago....we don't cook it any other way. I love mine with Cajun seasoning.
I've never had turducken but I would love to try! I don't think it is even offered here.
My hubby ALWAYS has to have the honey walnut shrimp and he asks for extra walnuts.lol
