YEARS AGO, if Peking Duck was
desired, 24-hour notice had to be given
to a favorite Chinese restaurant ... Still
not many Chinese chefs wanted to
mess with the delicious dish, consider-
ing it too difficult and time consuming
to prepare.
Most Chinese restaurants like Hong
Hua on Orchard Lake Road, north of
12 Mile, among the Northwest area's
leaders in Peking Duck preparation,
serve it making two dishes out of one
duck ... Thin slices of honey-glazed
skin with Chinese crepes, scallions and
hoisin sauce ... and boneless breast stir-
fried with Chinese vegetables ... $35
for the two preparations.
It is also ordered a third way, as let-
tuce wraps with chopped duck meat,
mushrooms, water chestnuts and
hoisin sauce, $6.95.
Hong Hua goes through over 200
ducks a week.
