Wing Tai Chinese Restaurant is part of the Wing Yip complex.

I got here early evening as I was on my way to Borehamwood and wanted something to eat after driving up from Bournemouth. I didn’t get there in time for dim sum.

I went for roast duck and rice and asked for a plate of the BBQ squid. There wasn’t enough cuttlefish for a full dish and they asked whether I would go for their mixed platter thing to pad out the cuttlefish that they did have.

The duck was fine. The cuttlefish was nice. The other “bits” are an acquired taste but I had the tripe, a couple of the duck wings, pig ears, hearts but the duck tongues were just not my thing. I am pretty sure it was duck tongues but anyway, they were left.
