So I tried her brat escape as they are a specialist. Created the duck pork plated, containing brat and bratpork. both meats were dry and bland roast. deenhaut was not crispy as I hoped. there was something sauce above that was excessive should serve separately.

Duck dumplings were ok but nothing special.   However the crispy Roast pork was delicious with a pommery mustard mayo.  The Sichuan chicken wings were great, hot but full of flavour and of course we had to try the signature duck,  this was an interesting dish and well executed but not sure I would order again.  If you like very sweet fried rice go for the roast holy duck fried rice it has the sweetness of lots of sugar. This was not to out taste.  The service was good and friendly.

Probably known for their signature crispy duck especially with the display of glistening roast ducks) but we deviated from that in trying their modern take on Chinese dishes. We enjoyed the #popcorn chicken that was expertly fried without being too oily/ sweet and had nice sesame aroma. The #bbqpork was flavorful and tender but a tad too sweet for our tastebuds. The #beefnoodes was similarly well-executed in taste but could do with less salt. Do note that the food comes in quite generous portions so it might make sense to share <br/ @holyduck.au, The Old Rum Store, 10/2 Kensington St, Chippendale, Sydney, Australia
