If you ever go to Penang- the restaurant and not the city- and you'd like to make someone's day, you should order sticky rice duck. It gets the waitresses very excited. Ordering the duck casserole today, Dianah made the mistake of asking for sticking rice. This prompted our waitress to recommend sticky rice duck as vastly superior to duck casserole with sticky rice.

So we went for it, which made our waitress beam. Minutes later, another waitress stopped by and explained that the duck is special and cooked for five hours. They kept coming by to ask if we like the dish, laughed when we marveled at how big it was (we apparently ordered half a duck for the 2 of us), and repeating the five hour mantra. No one said anything about price...
