Good Fortune Roast Duck House
published on 2nd March, 2010

Is it just me or are there less ducks in Hyde Park this year? I asked the Noongar Patrol and they said ‘Mos def.’ Contrary to Fly Away Home, our fine feathered (well for now) friends haven’t flown South for the winter. Pfft! No, they’re hanging in the window of the Good Fortune Roast Duck House.

Now I generally shy away from restaurants with dead animals on display (same goes for you fish tanks!), Good Fortune is the exception to this rule however. These fowl ain’t just hanging around bat-style gathering dust or E Coli. As soon as Donald and nephews are strung-up, an accomplished Wudang swordsman de-bones each one in 6 seconds flat.

So wash down your Sang Choy Bow with some Chinese tea, before taking advantage of the $1/can soft drink special. Then the tastiest, juiciest duck to ever fuck with your T-buds will appear. Further marinate with plum sauce and you’ve achieved ambrosia. Quack.
