Is peking duck soup served last?
If the restaurant you are dining in is even close to traditional, a third course of a simple simmered duck soup will be offered. This can often be highly Dependent on your ethnicity, and how broad-minded your Chinese restaurant is. Often, these light, palate cleansing soups are only offered to people of Chinese origin, the thinking being that: A). Lao wai don’t want soup this late in a meal, and B). The flavor will be too light for them anyway. Be persistent. Explain that you want a full Peking duck meal, soup included. Your waiter will be very impressed.
