Anna's comment: My first time of having Peking duck at Quanjude in Hong Kong. Not sure if the duck chef is from Beijing, but we were all happy with the duck - crispy skin and meat without much fat. We even took the rest of the duck home to make duck congee.

Hi, I just went to a Quanjude in Beijing and our group had a dish called "Duck Precious (鸭宝." I am still confused as to what part of the duck this actually is. Can you help?
Hi Laura
That must be the internal bits of a duck. Roast duck restaurants usually make money primarily by skin and meat; rest of the meat and bone will go with tofu and vegetable to make soup. But they never waste any part of the duck, even the internal parts. They usually stir fried them to make a dish, kidneys, livers...are usually used. Chinese always want beautiful names for their dishes, hence they call them 'precious'.
