Quack! Quack!-- My bad. We had a dinner special at the Hong Kong Lounge, Geary Blvd./18th Avenue, SF: $69.99 for 1/2 Peking duck OR Lobster, a house soup and a choice of 4 dishes good for 4; go with 8 and get a whole duck, 2 tureens of soup, and 8 dishes (veggies/meat/fried rice). $69.99X2 + tax and tips.

We haven't been eating out much but will check around for other recommendation for duck. The take out place on Noriega (across from Safeway) had a change in cooks and the taste has changed, not for the good.

Cantonese restaurants like to offer hoisin for the bean spread. I understand that the Northerners use a sweet bean less garlic/seasoning.
