Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

This article makes me hungry! It could be mentioned that Peking Duck served in large overseas Chinese communities (like Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco, etc.) probably serve an authentic style dish, cuz they recruited a lot of top chefs from China, HK, etc. --Madchester 01:07, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'll confirm that myself and my dining companions were (and are) white Americans; we went to a restaurant which advertised Peking Duck in English. So, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it was more western style. It was, however, yummy. Novalis 17:26, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Unfrotunately it is difficult to know how authentic the Peking Duck is. most restaurant, even in places where it serve a large Chinese community (such as Vancouver B.C.), it may oriented more toward Hong Kong Chinese, and thus have different serving methods (as mentioned in the article, the three course peking duck is common in Vancouver B.C.)

But no doubt that this is a delicious meal.

"In the US, the health-conscious Americans..." ... I think this is factually incorrect.

[edit] consistency

Spring onions/scallions and hoisin/plum sauce are two that immediately jump out. Any suggestions as to preference?

[edit] Peking Duck or Peking duck

Is there some history to explain why the title of this page is "Peking Duck" rather than "Peking duck"? However famous the dish, "duck" is not a proper noun here, and so WP:CAPS would seem to point towards using "duck" rather than "Duck" in the article title? Shall I move it?
