[FOOD] K: Kopi (coffee)
"Petaling Jaya Dim Sum and Drinks" at the Malaysian Food Street. Munch on traditional old-school thick-sliced kaya toast here too.

[FOOD] Quanjude’s famed Peking Duck at Feng Shui Inn
Quanjude Roast Duck
Peking Duck fanatics would have heard of Quanjude (全聚德) from Beijing, well known for its trademark roast duck and its impressive history. Established in 1864 during the Qing Dynasty, Quanjude’s use of non-smoky hardwoods like peach and chinese date to roast the duck gives it distinctly fruity aromas.
Now, instead of travelling miles to Beijing just to have a taste of this authentic Peking Duck, award-winning chefs from Quanjude have brought this delectable recipe and other duck dishes to Feng Shui Inn™ from 9 Nov to 18 Nov under our Global Gourmet Kitchen series. Get a taste of cuisine once reserved only for the imperial family. We take a look at what you can expect.
