Roasted Duck by Pa Ord


Was indeed a tasty duck. Also pork belly and papaya salad (medium spicy good kick - the spice scale here felt sane to me). Could drink the duck gravy.

I like how the duck was deboned. If this became the new normal or at least optional at more places, that would be great. Spicy basil duck and grilled pork belly were also good. The curry was a bit light. The fried pork and crab (?) cakes were also good.

Not sure it’s on the menu anymore but the spicy catfish was my favorite dish there.

Good. I can’t say I’ve ever had better Thai duck. I’ve certainly had worse.

“To do duck you have to be really disciplined, like cut out your social life,” says Chartchai Vongsanikul. “Period." "So I don’t really have a day off. If you’re going to do duck, you should think twice.”

Much respect for a guy who suffers for his “art.”

Half duck. Skin was great but the breast area was a bit mealy. Maybe too late in the day? We bought one at 430. 27.50 for a half a duck.

Would maybe go back again.
