[Foodholic Nizi @ Taipei]

"Jin Fu Ji" is considered a quite famous takeaway roast duck brand in Taipei, with a total of three branches. Today, we visited the branch located near the Shuanglian Station and Ningxia Night Market.

The three of us ordered a whole duck, prepared in two ways: roast duck and stir-fried duck frame. It also came with a package of pancakes, sliced scallions, garlic, and sweet bean sauce, all for a total of $830.

Although we were quite full, I personally feel that the price for a whole duck is a bit high, as I seem to recall that other places offer takeaway roast duck for around six to seven hundred.

There were very few pancakes, roughly only 8-10 pieces? But since I don't often eat takeaway roast duck, I'm not sure if this amount is standard or genuinely less.

The pancakes were on the thicker side and had a heavy flour taste, and weren't roasted to be very fragrant, so I didn't really like them.

The roast duck slices were relatively thick. The duck meat tasted average—not bad, but lacking an element of surprise or exceptional flavor. However, the duck skin was roasted to a nice crispiness.

The stir-fried duck frame had a bit of spiciness, about a mild level, and was stir-fried with basil, garlic, and scallions. It was very fragrant, flavorful, and delicious! But I was startled when I bit into the duck's tail part, as the taste was terrible—I spat it out after taking a bite.

Overall, the price is relatively high, and the supporting stir-fried duck frame outperformed the starring roast duck.
