When I visit Melbourne CBD I would often dine in Chinatown and surrounds for roast duck or crispy skin pork at one of the many Chinese BBQ meat eateries.

My personal favourite over the past few years has always been Pacific Seafood BBQ House. When fresh, the duck with rice is a great dish for $9 with juicy duck and a flavoursome duck sauce. Alternatively, for about $30 you can take home a whole roast duck ($15 for half a duck). For those not interested in roast duck, Pacific House also offers a large variety of Hong Kong cafe-styled dishes. The decor inside is bright and cheerful. However, as urbanspoon reviewers have pointed out, this would not be a good place to go if you are particular about service.

Later, my friend introduced me to City BBQ, located on Lt Bourke St in the centre of Chinatown. Duck there was also tasty, but dishes there tended to be Chinese style sharing mains - which works out to be slightly more expensive (compared to buying roast duck or other BBQ meats on rice) for students.



More recently I dined at Minh Xuong Seafood and BBQ Restaurant and may have discovered a new favourite. The cafe menu is similar to that of Pacific House. Here, the duck (seen in the photo above) seems to have more meat and less bones, the meat itself is more tender, and the skin is crispy and tastier. To be honest, the skin is probably more oily and therefore more tasty. However, the sauce at Pacific House is still superior.

Other haunts for roast duck and BBQ meats is Rose Garden BBQ located on Elizabeth street, and China Bar at Russell St.

Next, I'm on the hunt for good Peking duck (crispy skin roast duck wrapped in pancake and sauce).
