The New Roast Duck Eating Record

Before I begin this post, let me just say that we've been getting all your e-mails and messages giving us 101 reasons why we should NOT stop blogging and how we are both very "SELFISH" and "HEARTLESS"for getting some of you addicted just to drop you all of a sudden.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like we suddenly decided to stop...

Since Leng Mou was founded in late November 2005, it was agreed that it would only go on till June 2006 (check out the blog description). We never imagined that we would grow to what it is today.

Anyway, Boss Lepton is coming down to London later today and we shall talk about whether or not to continue with Leng Mou.

The truth is... the both of us have also grown quite attached to some of our readers who often comment so there is a chance we might just decide to continue.

Ok now on with the post.

Today, a group of us went to eat Roast Duck AGAIN at the Four Seasons Restaurant at Bayswater, London. Of the group, 4 of us (including myself) sat on a seperate table to break the record of the most ducks eaten per person in the restaurant; something I've always wanted to do before I went back to Malaysia.

It all started a while ago when one of the waiters of the restaurant challenged us to eat one duck per person which is insanely much.

Allow me to give you some perspective.

On a normal meal at the Four Seasons, normal people will order half a roast duck, some vegetables, maybe some tofu and maybe another meat dish.

But my friends and I believe that since we have to queue up for so long just to get a seat in the restaurant and because the duck is so good, we should take things to the extreme and eat nothing but duck, vegetable and rice. Pic Info: The record breaking duck-eaters. Nobody in London eats more duck than we do.

So today, 4 of us decided to eat as much duck as we could. When the waiter came up to us to take our order we ordered (in Cantonese) "4 whole ducks please."

The guy's eyeballs popped out of his sockets and he said
"Do you mean 4 WHOLE ducks or 4 duck rice?"

We felt a little insulted there for a while but we went on to say "Yes... 4 WHOLE DUCKS".

Our order got the attention of the tables around us and the rest of the waiters who were probably making bets in the kitchen on whether we could finish our ducks or not. Soon, the ducks arrived. and 20 minutes later we were done with all four and halfway through our vegetable dish. Then we decided that since we've already come so far, we might as well order another duck... and order we did.

The waiter almost didn't want to serve us the additional duck. She thought we were pulling her leg but after assuring her that we were DEAD SERIOUS, she went ahead and brought it over for us. Of course, we finished in less than 10 minutes. At the end of the dinner, the 4 of us ate a total of 5 ducks which adds up to a Duck/Person ratio of 1.25, the highest the restaurant has ever had.

So if any of you London juniors out there beat our record, do let us know so we have an excuse to go back and eat more.

The final bill came up to GBP 103 (after student discount) which turned out to be about RM700. Yes, it is true... 4 of us had ate RM700 worth of duck in one night.

My baby is not going to be very happy if she hears about this.

Baby... dun scold ok? bb guai.. bb tomorrow go gym...
