The duck neck is always drooling when it is mentioned. In the past, I used to watch TV and eat a few of them in China.But I haven't seen it in a few years since I came to Los Angeles. Last weekend, I heard that a new duck neck shop was opened in the east, so I was excited to take my friends from Wuhan to try it.Just before I went, I just chatted with an American friend, and the guy was very scared...Hey, how can you American stomach understand the mystery of Chinese food?Go back and eat your Burger & Fries.This store is located near the junction of Valley Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd. There is a parking space behind the store.It is very confusing to look at the name of the store. The English name is Jue Wei Kitchen, but the Chinese name is actually Chunwei Duck Neck.Also, look at their takeaway business cards with Chun Wei printed on them, so it should be called ""Pure Duckneck".

Although the store is small, there are three areas: cooked food bar, barbecue bar and drink bar, everyone can eat, take away or take away. We mainly eat cooked food and Hunan special snacks during this trip. There is no research on barbecue. If you have eaten, you can leave a message and tell us. (Please refer to the end of the article for takeaway phone and parking details)

Not much nonsense, and quickly enter the topic that everyone is most interested in: Is this duck neck authentic?Wen Xin is a southerner and has no right to speak. He only knows that the duck neck is so delicious. But Wuhan friends gave a responsible evaluation-quite authentic and basically the same as the domestic taste.The friend also said that she had eaten duck necks in New York, which cost roughly $12 a pound. The price of duck necks here is 8.99 a pound, which is quite close to the people.There are 4-5 roots per pound, cut into a whole bag, but it is only enough to eat by one person... You know, the delicious things are gone in the blink of an eye, haha...

It is estimated that the store wants to take the package and take-out route, so the area of ​​the store is a bit small, with only one four-person and several two-person seats.After we sat down, we started a brutal raid...First of all, a dish of duck neck and duck head!The original duck neck we ordered is slightly spicy, but southerners have no pressure to eat. Those with heavy tastes, please choose heavy spicy as appropriate!I don’t know how to appreciate the duck head, and I don’t know how to put it down. Although it tastes good, I was wasted in the end...

Second shot, pig ears come! It is also my favorite taste, crispy and spicy, and unique flavor. This amount is basically about 3 knives. I used to buy small boxes of cooked food at Dahua Supermarket, where the pig ears should be around $ 5. The taste is slightly cheaper, but the main thing is still delicious! It's so cozy to pack some home and eat with you.

Next are the Gao Fushuai of the deli world, goose intestines and duck tongue.The goose intestines are very tasty, the taste is very crispy and chewy; the duck tongue, in one sentence, is the kind of good taste in China! (In fact, the language is a bit lacking, I don’t know what words to use to describe it...) In short, it will evoke good memories for everyone🙂

The price of goose intestine is forgotten. The menu says it is the market price. Ask everyone when you go. The duck tongue is $ 61.99 / lb. For the convenience of sales, it is plastic-packed into the following shape, about 13 knives per pack.

Next up is the Hunan-style “Caper Minced Pork Noodles” in the store, which is delicious and looks good.The fly in the ointment is that I think this bowl should only be called "Caper Bean Powder", because you can't find minced meat...

Have you ever tried Hunan Shaomai?I don’t have any. They look exactly like southern siu mai. The ingredients are basically glutinous rice, shiitake mushrooms and minced meat, but the taste is much worse—white pepper is so heavy! !Consult professionals, is this the same for Shaomai in Hunan?Answer: Um...

Okay, so much meat, let's order some side dishes. Dried tofu is a must, but this one's calculation is more ordinary, and it doesn't work.

Kelp is not recommended, because the taste is soft and not chewy...Of course if it is good, I never said it!Edamame is less tasty, hey~

I don’t know if you like this kind of potato?I have eaten Trader Joe's microwave oven before, even the small potatoes, and I find it very fragrant.Unexpectedly, this restaurant also has it. The spicy skin is combined with the powdered potatoes. I seem to shout out: Boss, want a bowl of porridge~~

The yuba behaved normally and the current meals were superb.But I don't like this lotus root. First of all, the color is.... Secondly, its taste is too pink and tender. I personally like to eat it crispy.My friends in Wuhan said that many people there like to eat lotus root.This is also normal. Dignified Greater China. Different tastes are understandable, but I will not order them again in the future.

When we were eating, the store happened to have a few pots of cooked food, so I took the following photos with the responsible attitude of a war reporter, including goose intestines, duck heads, dried tofu, pig ears, duck gizzards, duck feet And duck wings.Hey, will foreign friends faint when they see it? !Regardless of them, are the foodies impressed?Last time I ate, I packed and took away the last pound of duck necks from the store... Actually I wanted to buy more for my friends to eat with, but the store said it would take 1.5 hours to get the pot... So, foodies, I’m not as excited Hurry up~ Go one step late and the duck necks will be sold out.By the way, the mung bean paste made by the drink bar near the entrance is very good. Although it is a bit thick and can't be drawn out through the straw, it is perfect with a variety of spicy flavors.
