It took lot of effort and time to roast the entire duck. But I modified the recipe and roast only the duck legs. It is much simpler and easy to handleYou may ask why bother to make it at home. It is easy to get it from the supermarket anyway. You have better control of the ingredients and seasoning when you home made it.Also, when everyone is impressed of your dish, the happiness is priceless. And it is actually not hard to make it home, so why not?

通少，請問用氣炸鍋，要怎樣調教溫度時間？謝謝
同焗爐一樣，有啲電子，有啲係按鈕
I’m in California and just discovered you in FB. I have the same brand of maltose sugar. How do you get the maltose sugar out of the plastic container? It is soooo stiff? Thanks.
You will need to warm up the sugar. Soak the container into hot water for 5 to 10 min (but don’t let water get into the sugar ). It will soften it
為何上皮水份量咁多？搽咗四次，仲剩好多😅
其實多咗有咩問題？可以留起遲啲再用，就算你話唔要，但冇嘥你好多材料，唔夠反而仲煩，永遠都係預多好過預少
如果家中無焗爐，改用氣炸，時間温度應該點控制？謝謝
