Duck House (Peking Duck) in Monterey Park

I was treated to a fantastic dinner at Duck House (Peking Duck) 501 S. Atlantic Blvd., Monterey Park, CA 91754, (626) 284-3227 for my B-Day by my peeps, artist/ musicians; Kio Griffith and Kaori, Peter Watkinson, Suji Lee, Mike the Poet, Emi Motokawa, Eka (future artist), and David Ritter. This restaurant was once located in San Gabriel but they relocated to this location in MP and this was most of our first time at the new location. Kio was in charge of the menu and we had ten dishes of mouthwatering Chinese cuisine including Peking Duck, Chinese Crab, Steamed Yam and Duck and one that surprised us all, Eel and Rice.The Eel and rice was amazing. The grilled Eel was sauteed in a teriyaki like sauce and laid on a rice that reminded me of the Japanese Sekigohan, which is always eaten during New Years. I suspect it was originally Chinese and reintroduced in this combination but I'm not certain of that. We were all completely stuffed at the end of the meal and I took home all the left overs which my kids ate the next day for dinner. Thanks guys! BTW, when you, call in the Peking Duck an hour before you arrive. it takes a while to make and they require you pre-order it for your dinner there. The key to the amazing dish is that they prepare the meat and the skin separately. The golden and crispy skin and the tender juicy meat is then brought out and you put them in "tortilla" like skins, dab a little sauce, and pop them in your mouth, much like scene in "Tampopo" (Juzo Itami), where the grandpa like thief is impersonating a college professor and is trying to extort a businessman at the Chinese restaurant. Before he is hauled away by the detective, he asks if he could have one more bite of the Mushu Pork. The detective grants him his wish because he knows that it'll be his finally meal outside prison walls and the scene ends with his mouth, chewing in sheer bliss.
