About

Earlier this week, I ordered a whole roast duck from the Chinese supermarket and only ate half of it. The other half sat in my fridge and I didn't know what to do with it. One day, I was looking through the fridge thinking what to do with the duck and spotted a pot of ready-made curry sitting in the corner. That was when I decided to turn my unappealing leftovers into the popular Thai dish - duck curry!
