1st Oriental Supermarket, West Colonial

I purchased a Roasted Duck and Rice Box for $5.50 from this "restaurant" in the market today and had it for dinner. It was mostly disappointing and predictable. It seems that only really good (if any) Chinese restaurants do duck well (I like it confit). It is usually mostly bones, skin and fat. That was the case here. Barely any meat on a half a bird. I went here because I thought it was the location of that elusive Taiwanese restaurant in some market somewhere on 50. Strike 2. The "restaurant" is in the front left corner. They serve a variety of items as meals or by the pound (ie pork tongue). There is some seating. It looks like the corner of a supermarket.

The market is excellent. It has tons of fresh digestibles and Asian products (even tanks with live crustaceans and fish from around the world).
