The duck is braised to perfection with just the right amount of herbs and spices and simmered over a medium low heat for hours, ensuring that the meat is soft enough to fall off the bone.

Also present in the delicious broth are braised hard boiled eggs and tofu, which complement the meat of the duck well, adding texture to the smoothness of the meat. Add all of that to a bowl of freshly blanched noodles and a wonderful plate of herbal goodness is made. Try it today, you may end up coming for more!
