"Dai Ji Roast Duck" in Annan District, Tainan, is a well-known roast duck restaurant located on Anhe Road, Section 4. It can be quite difficult to dine there, as there are often issues with making phone reservations. Sometimes the staff are so busy that they might not even pick up the phone (personal experience 😆).

Let's talk about the sliced duck first. The crispy duck skin paired with tender, juicy duck meat, combined with onions and sweet bean sauce wrapped in a thin pancake, creates a delicious bite that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with rich layers of flavor. The crispiness of the duck skin complements the soft, chewy pancake perfectly, leaving you wanting more. It's worth mentioning that their sweet bean sauce enhances the dish without overpowering it, perfectly highlighting the duck's deliciousness.

On the other hand, the crispy duck is another highlight. The duck is deep-fried, resulting in a crispy outer layer that is not greasy; although it's slightly dry, it's incredibly crunchy, especially with the aromatic garlic flavor, making it hard to resist. This dish is an excellent choice whether eaten alone or paired with drinks.

However, compared to the outstanding performances of the sliced duck and crispy duck, the stir-fried duck seems a bit ordinary, so I usually don't order it; I typically enjoy two ways of duck. If it's your first time at Dai Ji, I recommend starting with the sliced duck and crispy duck.

Overall, Dai Ji Roast Duck is the top choice for roast duck enthusiasts in Annan District, but remember to make an early reservation, especially during holidays, to avoid missing out on this delicious treat!
