Duck meat  is usually prepared using the cooking process of frying, steaming and accompanied by chili sauce. However, apart from the cooking process, it turns out that duck can also be processed into food by roasting which will produce an extraordinary taste like tender Peking duck. Tender Peking duck is a traditional food in China and originates from Beijing. This food menu is now very easy to find in Indonesia. This original tender Peking duck or tender Peking duck from Beijing is made from specially bred duck meat.

Ducks  are fattened by providing nutritious food. When the ducks are full, breeders usually force food into the duck's throat. This also makes Peking duck soft, usually called stuffed duck. Tender Peking duck is often found in upper middle class stalls to restaurants, most restaurants or food stalls use tender Peking duck as a mainstay menu.
