Beijing Fairmont's Lunar 8 Chinese restaurant is wowing local gourmets with a healthy Peking Duck minus the grease. The signature dish is a Peking roast duck prepared with a secret recipe of Chinese herbs and spices. Sliced two ways, skin with meat, and skin separated from meat, the crispy skin and tender meat has effectively raised the bar for the best quality roast ducks in the capital. The restaurant's chef is innovative, and has come up with his own interpretation of traditional Chinese dishes, including sauteed calamari with Iron Buddha tea, sauteed codfish with spicy sauce, and double-boiled ginseng with chicken.
