Trying more dishes from Kai Duck

Revisiting Kai Duck because we found some of the food pretty good the last time round.

Kai Duck, kurobuta char siew

Spanish kurobuta pork char siew was...ordinary. One can find with little difficulty in non-pedigreed barbequed pork that would taste as good or better so I didn't think this was worth the money nor the space in the stomach. Restaurants need to recognize that kurobuta isn't everything. It can be easily underwhelming.

Kai Duck, sweet corn pine nuts diced duck

Sautéed sweet corn with pine nuts and diced duck was kinda nice. Would have been nicer if the pine nuts were toasted before the dish was stir fried.

Kai Duck, duck skin mantou cream cheese

This was the other duck skin dish on fried man tou and cream cheese. Not bad.

Kai Duck, braised pork knuckle fermented bean curd sauce

Was quite taken in by their braised pork knuckle in fermented bean curd sauce. Those knuckles had a good mix of meat, skin, tendon and other gelatinous parts. Liked the soft peanuts and chunks of lotus roots in the dish as well.
