A-Mei Hotel Introduction
The signature dish of Amei Hotel is the clay pot duck, which has been around for 30 years. Its specialty is that the meat is extremely tender, yet not sticky, and the soup has a sweet flavor. In addition to the duck, the cabbage is another notable feature; the cabbage in the clay pot duck can absorb the oil, making it delicious when paired with rice. The broth for the clay pot duck is made by simmering pork bones, and the cabbage is stewed until fully tender. A medium-sized tender duck, weighing about three and a half pounds, is slightly fried and then placed into the clay pot along with ingredients such as tofu, shredded meat, flatfish, quail eggs, straw mushrooms, and golden needle mushrooms, and then simmered on low heat for about two hours.
