duck of the day

at around 40 minutes (really) to Jiaosi (礁溪), a trip to Yilan truly is more convenient than Beitou and Yangmingshan.

what better start than some smoked duck (鴨賞; A-hsiew in Yilan's unique variant of Hoklo) with "gar-leeks", cabbage with ginger (apparently a Yilan habit) as well as garlic, and a bottle of consume-within-18-days Taiwan beer?
