Don’t duck this duck: The Crepey Duck marks an attempt to transpose the Chinese restaurant staple of Peking Duckinto a cafe setting – tender roasted duck breast meat & crispy skin waiting to be folded in crepes; the traditional hoisin sauce is substituted with a kitchen-produced orange mayonnaise, which makes the sum of this recipe more mellow than punchy in flavour.
