LAS VEGAS (March 10, 2010) -- Kung Fu Plaza, an authentic Chinese and Thai restaurant in Las Vegas, features a roast duck recipe with ancient origins using Maple Leaf Farms duck.

Most are familiar with Peking duck, but according to the restaurant, its Kung Fu Plaza Roast Duck is the precursor to the famous dish.

“The Kung Fu Plaza Roast Duck recipe comes from a small valley in China, where the people still speak Teochew (Chaozhou hua in Mandarin),” said Allen Wong, general manger of Las Vegas Chinese Food. “Even some of their language retains archaic promotions that have been lost to modern dialects. The cuisine, Chiuchow or Teochew as it is called, relies much less on heavy seasoning and more on the quality of the ingredients, which is why we only purchase Maple Leaf Farm Premium duck.”
