“ Eat pigeon please. So good. The best dish I tasted at Hong Kong really. I miss hongkong cuz of DL and this resto's pigeon dish. Its really amazing!!! The staff here were quike and menu were on QR codes. Very accurate dishes and easy to use. ”
“ Superb experience. It is one of many good restaurants in central part of Hong kong. I find it very interesting. The unique part of Hongkong restaurants is that they don't waste space, immediately from the lift door the restaurant starts... it has nice chinese cuisine from dumpling to rice to port to beef. Whatever is your taste buds desires, you can have them here. We went in a group and ordered some drunken chicken, black custard bun, chocolate, oysters, prawns, shrimps dumplings, etc. ”
“ Yummy food with a playful presentation. Came twice now, for both lunch and dinner. Both times I was pleased with the food standard and service was good too. The price is quite reasonable for the effort they put into the presentation for the dishes. I would recommend this place as a place for a crowd to share a few dishes, and can get a better idea of the menu. Particular choice dish I like is the squid ink fried rice. ”
“ What Da Duck is a relatively new place at The L Place building in Central. They specialise in reasonably priced aromatic crispy duck sets for those who want to enjoy something quick and less formal than eating proper Peking Duck in local restaurants. Opening hours are 12pm to 9pm daily (closed on Mondays). We ordered from What Da Duck for the first time recently and were quite happy with our meal. Delivery arrived in 35 minutes. The crispy duck, cucumber strips, thin pancakes and sauces were packaged nicely. We found all to be rather casual and of pretty good taste. The duck was seasoned and fried well, had a crispy texture, duck was not overly dry but noticeably different to the oily nature of Peking Duck. They also offer four types of sauces. We liked the traditional Hoisen and Plum sauces just fine. Overall, this was a nice order. They have various sizes 1/4, 1/2 and full duck. We found the 1/2 to be fair size to for two people, 3-4 pancakes worth of duck for each of us. 1/4 size would be better for individual orders, the full duck for larger groups. We'll definitely order from What Da Duck again. It is a nice way to try casual, take-away style duck and pancake wraps for those who don't want to commit to a full and more time consuming restaurant experience for Peking Duck. ”
“ The L.place is a commercial building on the fringe of Central. It boosts a large number of restaurants over multiple floors, most are slightly overpriced as expected in this location, but not exorbitantly so. ”
