firstly i was a little thrown off by the price - $126 for 12 people seemed a little of a stretch to me for two duck platters and two plates of sides consisting of eggs, tofu, innards etc, as well as a bowl of yam rice and soup for each person.

while the gravy was thick and carried a herbal flavour, everyone also felt that it was too sweet in general, resulting in sweetness seeming like the only flavour profile of the dish. furthermore, the soup was also overtly sweet, which almost felt fake as it was impossible for mere cabbages to make the soup that sweet.

however, the duck meat was undeniably tender and fresh, and the sides and yam rice were executed pretty well too. i’d say go for their individual plates of duck rice ($5/plate) instead.
