Dela Duck

And yet, I took some time from my busy schedule to do some background research and to find out more on this new phenomenon that has hit Malaysia..or shall we say, out to take over the country.

According to them, Dela Duck Fast Food Take-Away is a revolutionary concept whose method of retailing is the latest in the industry providing a uniquely pressure cooked duck that is oil free, delicious and healthy.
Dela Duck Inc. is headquartered in the State of Delaware, United States of America ( from US rupenyer..not pantai hill park)with its marketing arm in Hong Kong to manage the Asia Pacific and the Middle East countries.
They claim they are halal...as you can see below, they have certificates from JAKIM and JAIP.

I took the opportunity to try their cuisine, I must say they are rather different.

Good points :
1. It doesn't have the normal smell of duck meat ( which is good because i hate that smell)
2.The packaging is awesome
3.It is done with 39 herbs and seasoning
4.It use to be a dish for the 1st Emperor Qin Shi of Yuan dynasty to the last Emperor.

Not so Good points :
1. It is rather oily, but then duck meat are oily.
2. You can only buy a whole duck, a wing piece or drumstick
3. The price is crazy! RM10 for a piece of wing or drumstick and 46 bucks for a whole duck..
4. It is only available for takeaway.

The duck peices are pressure cooked as you order, so you need to wait like 20 minutes for your order. You only get the duck meat, no side orders or what so ever.
Verdict : If you are a duck meat fan, you should try it..maybe you will like it. If you are not, you should at least try it once. The price is too expensive though but I guess you can afford it once in a while.
Tasty?, yes.
Pricy?, yes.
Worth it?, 50-50.
