Ducktastic dishes at Pinot Duck

I am not a fan of Cantonese food in HK because it doesn't fare as good as the ones in the UK unless you go to expensive places.
Anyway, I discovered this new joint in Stanley specializing in duck that are imported from the US and France.
The dishes have a slight Asian twist to it and the restaurant does not look Chinese which confuse people at first sight.

At the back there is an open kitchen with a place to roast their ducks.


The menu was creative with a choice of Asian style and Western style duck dishes.
I chose the following dishes because I prefer Western style, although there are a few that are Asian as well.

Wood and snow fungas salad:

This was a great salad to begin with because the vinaigrette dressing was really appetizing and it had lots of snow fungas and coral seaweed which is rich in collagen.

crispy duck pieces:
tossed in cumin and sichuan pepper seasoning

Next were the crispy duck legs which were meaty and divine because it was extremely crispy with tasty soft duck meat in the middle.

Duck liver pate:


The duck liver pate was smooth and velvety infused with a strong Chinese wine called Hua Diao.

Duck consomme:


Then I had the warming duck consomme which was loaded with wintermelon pearls and a quail egg.
It was simply light and satisfying.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
hot and sour soup:

Although it was too spicy for me, I liked the smokey chipotle and balsamic vinegar in the soup.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
duck risotto:

The risotto was filling with delicious pieces of crispy duck skin. Each grain of rice was tasty with a strong green pepper taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
caramel lotus roots:

To finish off, had the caramel lotus roots with chocolate mousse and pickled ginger.
It was a nice combination of Oriental ingredients and Western ingredients.

Definitely coming back again!!
