Most men loves their herbal 'dong guai' duck. Count me in too. Since the closure of their Sunway shop I have not eaten herbal duck. Its a pleasant surprise to find one in Aman Puri.

Their flagship dish would definitely be this herbal duck. The meat is thick and succulent just as I like it. My main complaint when eating duck is it not thick enough to be chewed on and have its juices enjoyed. This dark meat usually have a strong smell like game meat. But it is nicely paired with dong guai and the taste of the meat is enhanced and its strong smell masked by the herbs. The restaurant set-up is pleasant and chairs were placed on the side walk. Some MSG in their food.
