The view (including watching the sunset over Porto) was pretty good from where we dined, even though it was somewhat obstructed.

I love having desserts for dinner but sadly my friend wanted sides/entree too (but it's just as good, so that worked out in the end). Forgot to take all the pics but what I have..

I'm not the person to ask when it comes to chocolate not so sweet--so I just broke it up into bits and sprinkled it onto my ice cream. It was alright. Won't do it again.

Also wish I saw that article before I decided to do that. Would've only gotten one. Have to at least try. :P

bought a duck to grill. didn't take prep photos cuz i didn't think it'd turn out well lol $2 CAD / lb

 

use tweezers to pull out all feathers you see

cleaver'd in to sections (back 2 pieces, breast 4, 2 wings, 2 legs)

use a very sharp knife to poke a whole bunch of holes in to the skin to let fat drain while it cooks

rub all over with five spice powder

 

make a marinade of plum sauce + soy sauce

 

i use lump charcoal not briquettes. light with newspaper has no smell or taste on food vs liquid firestarter. makes a shit ton of smoke as it's lighting though lol 

 

after charcoals lit, put on one side. leave drip pan on opposite side for ease of clean up / can collect duck fat for use later on something else

 

place all the duck pieces on one side of the grill, bone side down skin face up (never flip it over). arrange so that breast furthest away from coals 

 

don't marinate it right away, let fat drain out and skin crisp first. about half way start marinating, re-coating when you feel like it. make sure to check if there is enough coals

 

total cook time was 1 hour. not soo bad, but i probably grilled it for like 10-15 minutes too long in my opinion

that is just the breast pieces and the 2 legs. the meat from the back pieces and wings were ugly lol and used for duck noodles
