Fu Fu for duck

For our 2nd stop of the Chinatown crawl, we stopped in Fu Fu's.  This time, our goal is for the peking duck!
For appetizer, we did the pork dumpling with soup, Shanghai-nese style.
Of course, we came here for duck and that we shall have!  First you get this steamed pot.
Inside, it's the warm buns... I love these buns, they're nice and soft and fluffy! 
Finally, the main event!  Peking Duck!  It's actually done well, it has enough meat and skin proportion, they also throw in some crispy skins too to go with, yum!

So, how I was taught to eat this is: you grab a bun, put down the hoisin sauce, add your meat, and put down the scallion and/or the cucumber to add crunch.  Then enjoy!

Fu Fu actually does Peking Duck 2 ways, which is how I've known it to be but not honored by many, and the second way is to use the remainder of the duck, bone and all, and make a soup broth.  Now, honestly, by the time you ate all that, you're full to the rim, but it is delicious and does help the meal goes down smooth.  

By the way, we had an 'early' dinner, some what of the Blue Hair Hour, but boy were we glad that we did, because as we ate, more and more people filed in and a line started to form outside.  So, word of advice, go early and go hungry!
