Uncle Duck BBQ is a Chinese-style barbecue restaurant on Milner Avenue in Silverdale, Rodney, holding 4.5 stars from 187 Google reviews, with diners praising the crispy roast pork on rice, the free egg and seaweed soup, and portions generous for the price.
Cantonese-style barbecue is all about what hangs in the window: ducks and pork bellies roasted until the skin crisps and the fat renders, then chopped over rice or dropped into noodle soup. The skin is the test — on a well-made roast it shatters, which means the meat went in at the right heat and rested properly. Roasts are usually fired in the morning, so regulars go early for the best cuts. The other trick is ordering one meat on rice with an extra cut on the side, so two people can eat well off a single plate.
