Dian Xiao Er (店小二) has been rather well-known for its herbal roasted duck. I love roast duck and herbal stuff, so this combination seems like a perfect match for me. It was a half-hour wait for the food (after 15 minutes of queueing too), because they only roast the duck when it is ordered.

| Roast duck with Ten Wonder Herbs, $43 for one whole duck |
They had three kinds of roast duck, but this was the most popular. The duck is marinated with their ten wonder herbs and some wine first before roasting. I am not sure what the ten herbs are, but a quick check on their website showed at least astragalue, codonopsis root, and dried longan.
Judging from how deep the taste had seeped into the duck, it was probably marinated for a decent amount of time. The skin was also nicely crisp, so I was really quite satisfied with this dish as a whole.
