The experience of "the most Beijing" is not only a kind of drill alley, but also a unique flavor of sitting and watching the Forbidden City eat roast duck. Eating roast duck in Four Seasons Minfu is very cost-effective, and the level of each branch is the same, which is much more stable than the products of many traditional time-honored brands. Moreover, the service of Four Seasons Minfu can make you feel cordial, not only the attitude is enthusiastic, but also the food and water are also diligent.
The Four Seasons Minfu Forbidden City Store is just outside the Shenwu Gate, and you can just dine after visiting the Forbidden City. The major branches start queuing at 4 p.m., and the tourist season is always overcrowded. When waiting for a table, Four Seasons Minfu provides a variety of snacks and hot tea, and you can also watch the live roast duck in the atrium of the store, making waiting for a table less boring. The roast duck is tempered furnace, the heat preservation effect in the oven is excellent, and the duck needs to be constantly turned and adjusted after hanging into the oven to make its color uniform. The wood used is jujube wood – one of the few shops in the capital that uses all jujube wood roast duck.
If the number of diners is small, you can order half a roast duck at Four Seasons Minfu, and the whole and half slices are different: the whole duck is sliced with a strip method, and the skin and meat are separated, and the half duck is sliced with the traditional slicing method, with the belt meat. Compared with the Da Dong and Li Qun introduced earlier, the skin of the Four Seasons Minfu duck is thicker, with a faint fragrance of duck fat, and the fat is moderate, which will melt in the mouth and is very comfortable after entering the throat. The duck skin, fat, and lean meat are clearly distinguished, and the heat is well controlled. Duck skin dipped in sugar, duck meat dipped in garlic, can eat a faint jujube wood aroma, cucumber single to eat clear, can also be sandwiched in the cake, heavy customers can choose to add pickled melon crushed or heart of the beautiful radish. The waiter will carefully teach customers to wrap the cake in the way of a baby quilt, fold the cake with meat and small ingredients in half, and roll it again, so that the sauce will not easily spill into the hand. The lotus leaf cake is the short board of the Four Seasons Minfu, the dough cake is slightly thicker, which will cover the taste of duck meat; It cools quickly after serving, which greatly affects the taste. The duck tastes "crispy and tender", suitable for all ages, but customers with a light taste can't help but feel greasy after eating, and the duck's fishy discharge is not very well done, and the meat has a slight duck smell after importing.
A good roast duck skin is crispy and tender, and the degree of crispiness should reach the feeling of melting in the mouth, so that I dare not use my teeth hard, for fear that I will not even taste the taste and have already entered the stomach. Tender meat is another realm, if you only achieve crispy skin, but the meat eats old and firewood, there is no taste, how can you not experience the contrast between the crispy outside and the soft and invincible inside. Four Seasons Minfu can be said to have done this, and the price of 198 yuan is also worth it, and it is worth going to it. Another way to eat it is to eat it with a hollow small baked cake, which complements the crispy texture well.
Four Seasons Minbok's duck rack rolling duck soup is free, but the salt and pepper method is more recommended, and it tastes crispy and fragrant, and tastes good. In addition, the wasabi duck paw is also quite distinctive, and it is drizzled with a thin sauce and added with sesame sauce, so even those who are not very comfortable with wasabi can accept this dish. You can also eat many Beijing snacks in Four Seasons Minfu, such as kidney bean rolls, Aiwowo, bean juice, popping belly, old Beijing yogurt, homemade sour plum soup, etc., and enjoy the flavor of Beijing in one stop. But the delicacy is still not good compared to Da Dong, the taste of the kidney bean rolls is not full enough, and it has not been chilled, so it will be "noodles" after a long time, of course, it is still a few grades higher than the taste of the roadside restaurant, just try it at will. Four Seasons Minfu is also thoughtfully equipped with gel water, combs and other items in the bathroom, and the environment is neat and clean. However, there are only a few view slots in the Forbidden City store, and you need a little luck when you wait.
