Roasted duck has long been considered a rustic dish and is a great choice when you want to change your family’s taste. With its appealing appearance, eye-catching colors, and the fragrant aroma of roasted duck, it will surely leave a great impression.
The duck is fried evenly golden all over, the outer skin is crispy and golden, and the meat inside absorbs the seasoning well, remaining tender and moist without being dry.

The barramundi meat is tender and smooth, with a natural sweet taste, thick and firm texture. When marinated with ample seasoning and briefly deep-fried in hot oil, it creates a crispy skin.

8. Grilled Eggplant
The grilled eggplant dish can become the next choice for a light meal after the previously rich main dishes. The distinctive flavor of eggplant combined with the fatty taste from the fragrant scallion oil and a bit of crushed roasted peanuts adds a delicious nuttiness to the grilled eggplant.
