六百番砂鍋鹽焗鴨("六百番" (Six Hundred) borrows a Japanese-style numbering convention as a brand name; "砂鍋鹽焗鴨" means "clay pot salt-baked duck.")
A locally recommended claypot salt-baked duck. The whole duck is stewed until the meat falls off the bone and turns tender, while the pig's blood cake and tofu skin in the pot soak up the broth. One duck can be eaten three ways: as duck meat, with mian xian (thin wheat noodles) in the broth, and as hot pot. The seafood and sashimi selection is also wide, so it suits a group eating together.

The salt-baked duck is braised tender, and the meat comes easily off the bone. The pig's blood rice cake and tofu skin soak up the broth, and the seasoning is not heavy. Rice and noodles tossed with duck fat are also fragrant.

Some find the add-on items and sashimi pricey, and the small dishes feel poor value. Others say the portions are generous and the salt-baked shrimp is a good deal when ordered on its own.
