Hey Moondog . . . I saw your posts in the other thread from last year. Might you be down for a duck run when I get there next month?

I had good duck last night. It might have been Americanized but it still tasted good and that's what matters. I do like most of the Americanized western dishes as you list above . . . but there are still some (not many) Chinese restaurants here in the US where they offer an authentic/traditional menu (which is not presented to Americans when they come in) and are packed with Chinese people because they are excellent. One widely praised such place near me is called China Star, in Fairfax, Va.
But, for duck, Beijing reigns supreme. I had one last week that blew Xiaowangfu out of the water. The restaurant was the China Lounge inside the south gate of the stadium.
Looking forward to that!^
