The pulled duck confit crepes looks interesting – but the crepes look empty. Is the duck confit somehow mushed and mixed into the batter?

I believe the pulled duck confit is in the white bowl. ‘Build your own’ concept.

Exactly right, Paul.

Like a variation on Peking Duck, but pulled duck (no crispy skin) and a variety of Asian greens (not just green onion) (think Pho) .

Chef Tina generously offered that dish to sample (aka inhale) after the shoot, and it was awesome! Perfect balance of spice in the duck and freshness from the mint & cucumber.
