竹記冬菜鴨
Tainan CityWest Central DistrictRestaurant
A traditional Tainan duck-meat street stall; the winter-vegetable broth and duck dishes are the main highlights.
Signature Dishes
Winter-Vegetable Duck Glass Noodles
The winter-vegetable broth is savory and dark, with a pronounced aroma that does not overpower; it can also be lightly sweet and smooth rather than overly salty, while the duck meat may sometimes have a fibrous texture.
Duck Rice
The duck is tender; with pickled cucumber and green chili, it has a sweet-and-sour, mildly spicy flavor; the rice is somewhat moist and soft, and the white-rice portion can also be small.
Plain Duck Meat
The meat is tender and juicy, seasoned just right without being overly salty; the sliced serving has almost no bones, and the small portion has at times been larger on the plate than expected.
Mixed Soup
The mixed soup contains gizzard, heart, and liver; the gizzard stands out.
Blanched A-choy
The A-choy is fresh and not noticeably bitter; there is also a duck-fat version of the A-choy.
