How it's used
Duck tongue is a popular delicacy in Hong Kong, often served as a cold appetizer or braised in soy sauce. It is prized for its unique, slightly crunchy texture rather than for having a significant amount of meat. You will frequently encounter it on the menu at Chiu Chow style restaurants.
