This may be a reach, I know, but does anyone know if I can get Peking duck in Springfield? I’d like to serve it for Christmas dinner. The only place I found that does it is Leong’s and I’m a little nervous to order it from a place that serves burgers and Springfield-style cashew chicken. (Just my personal preference. No shade to Leong’s.) If you’ve had it from there, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Tongs does a duck dish, not sure if Peking style.
There is a pic of it on his FB page.
We have had it in the past and it was good.
Mmmmm. Bangkok duck. Haven't had it for a while, but it is bomb.
Ok, that sounds worth trying!!
Leongs duck is good but expensive and chopped weird and too much bones. Does taste good though.
Triple Eight’s used to have one, still might but I’m not sure.
Leong’s is good. Give them a try.
Rama Thai has duck, but I'm not sure if it's Peking.
This isn’t Chicago I wish we had something like that
Boa boa if you order in advance and also Asian world/market has them fresh every Thursday but they go very fast.
My partner is ethnic Chinese and I haven't seen Peking duck locally. If you do find it then expect it to be expensive. I can tell you that 888 international market at 119 th street and highway 69 regularly has it but I haven't had theirs and don't know if it is fresh daily. They did have it on Sunday but if you want it you should call them to order it.
If you do get it be prepared to get the fixings like mushu pancakes, slivered spring onions and cucumber and sweet bean sauce. But as someone else has said be warned the dish is mainly valued for the skin and that is limited. Traditionally, it is served in courses with skin first followed by meat and finally a soup from the bones and meat scrap.

Good luck!
I think I’m going to skip it. We’ll be going to New York City next year, I think and we can have it then.

They call it x Cantonese style duck on the menu but the presentation looks the same.

I’ve only had duck once…it was basically a pulled meat with bbq sauce…it struck me as a lot of dark meat but wasn’t bad….can anyone tell me the white to dark meat ratio of duck?
In general, duck is much fattier than chicken. There really isn’t “white meat” so much. Peking duck is a roasted duck with a method that makes the skin very crispy and the meat very tender. You take a slice of meat and a bit of skin and roll it up in a pancake with plum sauce and green onions. It’s delicious.
Ask the international market on battlefield and Campbell, I think I’ve seen them there, already cooked
Depending on the type there may be no white meat on a duck. They fly too much so there's a lot of blood in the breast.
I saw some duck at the Aldi's on Kearney once. If you don't mind actually cooking the meal yourself then you could try there.
Peking duck is a massive production to make at home.
Just curious, is this a Christmas Story thing? I will always love that scene.
Hahah! No. It’s just something I used to like to eat when I lived in the NYC area. I love that movie, too.
