Many people around the world know about London’s infamous Four Seasons and its Cantonese roast duck. Even Bangkok has a branch. But let me tell you about a 150 year old shop in Bangrak whose duck, in my opinion, is a more than worthy contender for the supreme roast duck crown.
Prachak Pet Yang is where you’ll find this top quality duck – and whilst it is quintessentially Cantonese, there is a distinctly Thai twist to their roasted delights. Stuffed with ginger, coriander and a touch of kaffir lime, the sauce is more fragrant than the Cantonese version, and less salty. The duck is juicy, but don’t expect European sized ducks found in London’s Four Seasons, the duck is slightly on the small side.
But at 120 Baht for a boneless portion of half duck, this is a steal, and a must for any meat lover. Do bear in mind that the duck may sell out by 5 -6pm!
