This time I visited the Dongnan Roundabout for Angelica Duck, which is a somewhat famous old shop in the area. The prices are actually not high; it would cost about a hundred dollars per person. It seems there’s no menu in the store, and the price isn’t listed on the sign, so you just go in, ask the owner, and order directly.

The highlight is, of course, the Angelica Duck Soup. The portion of duck meat isn’t very large, but the broth tastes quite good, infused with the herbal aroma of Angelica. However, there’s a hint of seasoning flavor at the finish, making it hard to tell if the sweetness comes from the ingredients themselves or the seasoning.

The braised pork rice mainly consists of fatty minced pork, giving it a slightly sticky texture. The seasoning is simply salty and savory from soy sauce, which is a straightforward flavor. As for the rice blood cake, it’s rather ordinary and on the dry side, with no special surprises.

Overall, it’s a small eatery familiar to the locals. If you live nearby, having a bowl occasionally is quite nice; but if you come specifically for it, you might find it to be average, fitting in the daily local taste.
