China Tang offers authentic Peking duck in Dublin

A new restaurant, China Tang, has opened in Monkstown, Dublin. It aims to be the first in Ireland to serve authentic Peking duck. The restaurant features a stylish design with mirrored ceilings, a bar, and several seating options. Customers must order the Peking duck in advance. It takes two days to prepare, drying out before being roasted at high heat. The meal experience includes dramatic presentation and expert carving by the chef, Mr. Chan. The duck skin is crispy, and the meat is rich, creating a satisfying flavor when combined with house-made pancakes and fresh vegetables. In addition to the Peking duck, diners can enjoy other dishes like xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and signature dumplings. For those who want a second course, the remaining duck can be wok-fried with salt and chili or served in soup. Dessert includes a comforting pumpkin sweet wine soup with chewy rice balls. The prices at China Tang are rising with the overall dining costs, but many find the Peking duck worth the €88 price tag, especially when shared between two people. Overall, China Tang offers a high-quality dining experience, focusing on precision in each dish. It’s a place that customers will remember long after their meal. A dinner for two with wine costs around €152. The restaurant does not currently have wheelchair access.
