Duck Meat Hsu Main Store Introduction
With over thirty years of history, Duck Meat Xu has evolved from a small stall to two locations bustling with continuous customers. The food here is well-known: duck meat noodles, stir-fried offal, and a variety of side dishes. Xu Wenhe, who grew up in Lugang, Changhua, moved to Taipei alone as a teenager to work in a hotel, where he became fascinated with cooking. He secretly learned from the chefs, which laid the foundation for the success of Duck Meat Xu. The dishes here are highly praised, including the duck meat noodles, stir-fried offal, and various side dishes. The owner mentions that preparing duck is quite a massive undertaking. Freshly slaughtered ducks (frozen ducks do not provide the same texture) are first steamed, then marinated in the owner's unique recipe developed over thirty years, and finally smoked—this smoking technique is a closely guarded secret vital to the owner's livelihood. The duck meat noodles require a broth made from boiling the duck, ensuring that the essence of the meat is extracted while keeping it tender. Duck Meat Xu's branches are all located on Beimen Street, so if the main store is too crowded, you can visit one of the branches. A trip to Duck Meat Xu allows you to experience the owner's dedication and deliciousness.
