I dined at the original Quanjude and even though it was very good, I found it to be a bit on the expensive side. In part, we were required to order from the tasting menu if we wanted to reserve a table. I just wrote it up for the experience, but I definitely will try other places next time in Beijing.

Note, even though I've been eating Peking duck for years. I just found out that there was a Mandarin and Cantonese version. Mandarin is served with skin and meat while Cantonese is skin only with the rest of the duck being used for a different dish.
