Thoughts: The main 偉記正宗香港(深井)脆皮燒鵝燒鴨 Wei Kee used to be in KL Imbi specialize in 燒鵝 Roasted Goose, and 燒鴨 Roasted Duck. But since Oct, 2014, it has moved to Subang USJ9 and  later relocated to USJ10 in November, 2016.

The 辣椒醬 chili sauce and especially its 梅子醬 plum sauce does go well as a dipping sauce for the 燒鴨肉 roast duck meat, and it's the same sauce for the rm$21 Goose Rice (sampled 2+ years ago on the Feb 21,2019). I am having the duck meat with Wanton Mee which comes with the interesting "clear" and slightly salty duck sauce; interesting combination and definitely one of the best duck meat restaurants in town.

The restaurants above offers 燒鴨 Roasted ducks (but there are probably a few more in the USJ area which I have missed); and most of them also offers 燒雞 Roasted chicken, 燒肉 Roasted Pork, or 白斬雞 Steamed chickens either with rice or noodles. But probably the only one that offers 燒鵝 Roasted Goose is just USJ10's 偉記 Restoran Wei Kee! What is a good roasted duck probably depends on the "tongue and taste buds" of the beholder, and maybe what viewers believe what some people say in the internet!

Duck has been roasted in China since the 南北朝 Southern and Northern Dynasties. The dish, originally named 燒鴨子 "Shao Yazi", was mentioned in the 飲膳正要 Complete Recipes for Dishes and Beverages Text in 1330 by 忽思慧 Hu Sihui (an 皇室廚房檢管 inspector of the imperial kitchen). 

From the same era, 北京烤鴨 Peking duck and 廣東(粵式)燒鴨 Cantonese duck are two different dishes respectively. 北京烤鴨 Peking duck was originally created for the 皇親國戚 Imperial elites and their families, whereas 廣東燒鴨 Cantonese style roast duck is a more 平民家庭菜 comforting and affordable family dish.

In North China, the most famous of roast duck style is perhaps the 北京烤鴨 Peking Duck, already fully developed in the 明朝 Ming Dynasty as said to be offered as a main dish in the 中國宮廷御膳菜單 Imperial Court Menu. In fact, the first Restaurant that specializes in 北京 Peking duck appear in 1416 in Beijing, called the 便宜坊 "Bianyifang". During the 1970s, roast duck actually became a national symbol for the country. And today, especially in Beijing, Peking duck is a very common cuisine easily available in the city of Beijing. The cost of a Peking duck can be around RMB120 - RMB400+ (rm$75 to rm$250+) depending where one choose to have it in the Beijing. 北京烤鴨 Peking duck is normally eaten not as a main dish, maybe more like 前菜 appetizer before the main dish or with other vegetable dishes. Sliced duck meats or the crispy skin wrapped in steamed 春餅 Chinese pancakes together with 黃瓜棒 cucumber batons, 蔥條 scallions and 海鮮醬 hoisin sauce dipping. 

There is a difference between the Northern style 北京烤鴨 Peking Duck and 粵式燒鴨 Southern style Cantonese roasted Duck in the way they are prepared, cooked/roasted, or methods of eating them respectively! The 粵式燒鴨 Cantonese roast Duck is common as a roast item not just in 香港 Hong Kong but 馬來西亞 Malaysia and 新加坡 Singapore where usually the meat goes with 米飯 rice and sometimes 麵 noodle and 粥 porridge. 

While 粵式燒鴨 roasted duck is commonly available together with 燒雞 roasted chicken, 燒肉 roasted pork, or 叉燒 charsiew in 燒臘店 "siew lap" shops; 燒鵝 roasted goose are rare and probably 3-4 times more expensive compared to roasted duck. 北京烤鴨 Peking duck, on the other hand is something available only in 高檔餐廳 upscale dining restaurants or hotels in 巴生谷 Klang Valley.
