Should we also go to Da Dong one day for the duck or just get it while we are at Made in China?
You can have a non-duck dinner at Da Dong -- I really like their non-duck stuff, and some of it is even reasonably priced! Not sure about near the Doubletree, but if there is a Quanjude nearby (not sure there is), I really like the Quanjude duck (but not much else of their menu).
I have to say, went to Made in China end of September with friends visiting from out of town, and it wasn't up to the usual standard, and prices were still creeping up. The service was worse aswell. The Opposite House has opened a new duck place, Jing Yaa Tang. We popped in randomly a few weeks ago, and couldn't be bothered to wait for the duck, but sampled some of the menu, and tbh, it was pretty good, and the prices were on a par with these other places. The zhajiangmian in particular was excellent, if a little pricey.
