The Greatest Duck Dish of October Is Here đŠ
Listen up, everyoneâyouâve gotta try the Braised Black Duck Pot at Bai Wei Xuan! Iâm calling it: this might just be the most incredible duck dish in all of Philadelphia đ! As a regular whoâs had a love-hate relationship with this place (love their ever-rotating menu, but side-eyeing those occasional hygiene rumors đ„Č), I still couldnât resist checking out their latest creation. And wowâthis duck pot did NOT disappoint! đČ Braised Black Duck Pot Approved by my familyâs resident duck expert! One bite and you get it allânumbing, spicy, savory, aromatic, with a hint of sweetness. The duck is marinated and braised to perfection, reminding me of Zhou Hei Ya-style duck, with those addictive layered spices. The real star? Udon noodles hiding at the bottom, soaking up all that glorious sauce! Even as takeout, the portion was seriously generous. đ Sichuan Pepper Crispy Fish Fillet Inspired by food blogger recsâso crispy, so fragrant! The green pepper elevates the freshness, and the cucumber slices add a nice clean touch. Only downside? The takeout portion felt a bit small đ đ„ Pickled Cucumber Skin with Chicken Gizzard A must-order for me ever since I tried it in-store! Their house-pickled cucumber skins are uniquely sweet-tangyâeven better than sour long beansâand paired with chewy gizzards, itâs an absolute rice killer đâĄ! All in all, Bai Wei Xuan remains one of my top picks in Chinatown. Hereâs hoping they keep the new dishes coming! #FoodMapOfTheChineseSoul #PhillyFoodDiary #PhillyEats #StudentEats #EatLikeALocal #GlobalFoodieAwards #FoodIsTheSmallestUnitOfTheWorld #PhillyFoodExplorer #PhillyChinatownBites
