Get The Duck Outta Here!

There are just some days you feel like stuffing the shit out of your face and Sun Wah provides such a haven, where the Peking duck basically rapes your face, but leaves you wanting more.

Having these on display is equivalent to any red light district in the world.  They tease and desire to be chewed up and digested inside you.  Whether or not you take it this seriously or not, you just know that it looks damn good.  Sun Wah has always been known for their perfectly roasted animals.  Whether it be duck (which is what they are known for) or the suckling pig.  They have their own roaster/smoker in the back where everything is hung and cooked to crispy perfection.

Top Chef Masters, Chef of Spiaggia) and seeing his family get their grub on here.  Maybe he’s paying homage to the fact that the Chinese came out with noodles far before the Italians – Boom I said it, what!  I was hoping to see him order something crazy like octopus vagina, pig balls, or dog brains but instead he ordered a bunch of glossy vegetable dishes and fried rice.  Boring.

Fuck that shit, we ordered what all of the stupid travel and food shows come for –  The famed Peking style duck complete with buns, pickles, sauce, and this is only the beginning! The duck skin is crispy and seasoned well with the meat being nice and moist.  Putting everything into the labia looking buns tasted amazing together.  There would be a bowl of soup and fried rice utilizing the remainder of the carved up carcass.  I always liked the idea of cultures never throwing away anything and showing the versatility of the main course.

This fortune fucking sucked.

The reincarnation of this neighborhood favorite does not disappoint.  There is a ton of other options on the extensive menu and is family owned and operated.  I can appreciate how much food they give for the price and they don’t strive to be anything outside of being a good Chinese restaurant.  I hope to try something else one day, especially with that shit cryptic fortune.

    If getting taken up by the Rapture means leaving Sun Wah’s Peking duck behind, then I don’t wanna believe.
