Went "gai-gai" at Empire Shopping Gallery. It was 2pm and was looking for something to eat.
Mamarazzi saw big signboard as we enter ESG that a Chinese Restaurant was having Peking Duck promotion. RM39.90 a duck. That was pretty cheap right.
Being the "smart alleck" that she was, she misread and thought it was Ding Tai Fung that was having the promotion.
We headed there and waited in front of the restaurant coz there was a signboard that says "Wait to be seated". Unfortunately, nobody was manning that counter. Waited at that counter quite sometime before the Waitress have time to "layan" us. She told us kindly that they do not have the Peking Duck Promotion. It's Di Wei that is having the promotion.
Off we went upstairs to Di Wei.
Wow...very wide dining space . Very comfortable. They even have plates for kids.
The only down thing is that when we flip through the Menu, we found that many dishes were listed as "Sold Off".
Nevertheless, we managed to get what we came for.
Service very friendly and fast.
Another lady roll up the meat for us.
The thinly sliced meat plus the crispy skin is placed on a piece of flat bread. Something like thin Pita Bread. Then added some spring onion, slice of cucumber and sauce. Then roll it up
Tada!!! It's ready to eat!
mini "popiah"
Lemme taste
Delicious! one bite is not enough
What happen to the rest of the duck?
This happen! Cooked with noodle. The duck was RM39.90/duck and the second dish RM15++. This counted as second dish la.
Aiyak...Mamarazzi should have asked to tapau the bones of the duck too coz can take home to make duck porridge.
As for the noodle....slurpeelicious!
I love it!
Apart from that we had Mixed mushroom dish. Not really to Mamarazzi's liking
You can see how cold it is from the Chicken Skin. Bet you guys/gals encounter it before right? When you are too cold, your skin will have goosebumps.
Papa ordered some Dim Sum too. Fried Brinjal
Fu Chuk Rolls
And Steamed Fresh Scallop Dumplings
Delicious looking ya? Mamarazzi LOVED it very much.
I ate so much till I can't eat anymore.
Food were great and so was the service. One minor thing that marred the experience for Mamarazzi was that we were being asked to pay the bill as we were enjoying our meal. It was nearly 3pm and they were going to close. One of the waitress brought us our bill despite that we have not finished eating.
No, they did not ask us to leave but I felt uncomfortable eating after that coz I was worried that they will close the door and we would be left inside. Papa and Mamarazzi told me not to worry but still.......
Hmm...next time must come and makan earlier. Hopefully they will extend the Peking Duck Promotion la. It was from June to August 2012 only.
What a lovely meal you had! Shouldn't worry about doors shutting you in...at least, in there you'll never get hungry;)
ReplyDeleteAnnie
DeleteBut the Chef gone home then how? :p
Ah! That's when Mamarazzi comes in to prove her skill...should be much better than the chef's :P
DeleteLol it would be disastrous :P
Deletenice..the Peking duck looks yummy but I hardly take duck.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer those dim sum..
DeleteWenn
DeleteYes, some would not like that taste of duck .
The dim sum were delicious especially the scallop one
Hi SK, the last time I had Peking duck was 36 years ago.
ReplyDeleteDuck not on my food list, except this one....
Nice pics.

Uncle Lee
DeleteLOL....ya some doesn;t like ducks
WAHHHHHHH!!!!! I LOVE PEKING DUCK!!!! I want! I want leh!!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha come again la STP. Hopefully they will have this promotion again
DeleteI love the fancy plate on SK's meal. Cute. hehe
ReplyDeleteAzura
Deleteya fancy plate to entertain kids.
That was a majestic lunch! So many good food especially the duck. So yummy!
ReplyDeletePhong Hong
Deleteya lor...blurp...excuse me :p
hahahaha, mamarazzi so blur like a sotong!! never read the sign properly and went to the next door!! must be very "fish" lah when you found out from Din Tai Fung that was not their promotion~~ :p
ReplyDeleteShe only properly reads her novels kot!
DeleteBanyak sangat reading... all information jumbled up already! wakaka
SK
Deleteya lor very "fish" lo...lucky never walk in and sat down :p
Lina
Novel pun sometimes skip...like the 50 shade of grey :p
but then the service of Din Tai Fung very bad lah, waiting there so long still no people come and bring you in to be seated?? 2pm plus already woh, still so busy inside meh??
ReplyDeleteI agree with SK.
DeleteI take offense when staff want to enforce that "Please wait to be seated" but with an empty restaurant and no staff to show us our seats. Sure will show face one!
Duno la...maybe it's near closing time or what. Standing by the door next to the counter. Some waiter/waitress saw but maybe not their job to man the counter that day. Waited for the person in charge to come gua
Deletecheh, so they make you actually spend more lah?? RM39.90 for the duck, but then you only eat the skin and little bit of meat.. then the rest they "force" you to cook with other dishes but you need to top up??
ReplyDeleteSK
Deleteof course la....but memang purpose wanna go eat one mah. Nt force to take up the second dish. You can order the second dish if you want. Otherwise just have the roll up peking duck lo
in the end, with all those top up, how much you have paid for the whole lunch actually??
ReplyDeleteSK
DeleteLOL.
The anak kucing wear sweeater...
ReplyDeleteSo cold there? ;)
because meow says wide dining area, means no much people, that's why colder inside lah.. hehehehe!!
DeleteLina
DeleteAir cond at ESG is cond leh
SK
kekekeke
and i thought you will do all the wrapping yourself because you can add/exclude anything you like or dislike.. but the waitress actually wrapped all those for you?? like that no fun leh~~
ReplyDeleteSK
DeleteUsually restaurant they will wrap for us ma
Hungry liao after seeing the foods...
ReplyDeleteSharon
Deletehahaha time for lunch
I'd hate it when staff give me the bills despite me not asking for it or me finishing my meal.
ReplyDeleteIt's their subtle way to make you leave!
Lina
DeleteTu lah ...... Tengah makan syok syok kena kacau
Such bad manners of asking to pay while you're still having your meal. Isk isk isk.
ReplyDeleteThough I must say the Peking duck is quite good at Di Wei.
Missyblurkitt
DeleteNah...it's just disturbing la

I never tried peking duck in malaysia..
ReplyDeletethere is once I tried in China.. it was really good and they chef is really high skill .

This one shouldnt be that far behind gua. the chef should have enough kungfu la. I never had Peking duck in China before.
DeleteWah! Tapau the bones and take home to make duck porridge?? Mamarazzi really good in recycle foods. Save the environment!
ReplyDeleteDiana,
Deleteregret dud not tapau lo.

ReplyDeleteRose
Deleteyummy
paling pantang when I tengah eating and ppl ask me to bayar. Very sien wan.. and then we gotto quickly eat and cabut cos otherwise they will like jeling jeling. Boh Song la.. butthe peking duck.. oumaikot.. look so nice
ReplyDeleteSasha
Deletewat to do..our fault also la viz go near closing time. staff also need to rest.
but food was terrific la.
i also hate people to pass the bills when we are eating. Its like they are rushing us off. I have the peking duck at Ipoh years ago at mun cheong restaurant. It was yummy.
ReplyDeleteAndrew
Deletewah like this next time must take note of this restaurant when go ipoh
Peking Duck...it reminds of something very funny that happened many many years ago when I first had this Peking Duck in Beijing.
ReplyDeleteI think many people also know that you have to eat it together with the bread but because the waitress did not serve both at the same time instead just leave a plate of Peking Duck right in front of us (the tourist), so we just makanlah and sapu all the duck without the bread and when the waitress later bring out the bread...all of us was like...huh ?????? what's that???
So we ended up eating the Peking Duck and bread separately....new style :(
Jenny
Deletelol Malaysian style.
peking duck is must try .. mahal kasi
ReplyDeleteKulapitot
Deleteya usually very expensive but this one was on offer. worth it
I tried this too, just no time yet to write up. Wonderful in taste, just that I wish they gave me bones so that I could have a soup out of it.
ReplyDeleteNava
Deleteya kinda regret did not ask for the bones. should be great for soup or porridge
It's always good and tasty food here.
ReplyDeleteThomas
Deleteit was our first time there.
