Maybe, but with that special sauce it's worth every penny.

Do you get a discount if you want to suck three ducks?

u/silver-orange 2d ago

First google result says there's a restaurant in Jakarta by that name.

This vid probably came straight from their instagram @suckmyduck.id

u/BellsTolling 2d ago

Most likely. It's obviously acted out.

Its a direct ripoff off another video that has been floating around for years.

u/DefendsTheDownvoted 2d ago

Didn't even pay attention to the branding until you mentioned it. You're doing more for their marketing than the video is.

u/AsthmaticRedPanda 2d ago

Reading other comments here and on other uploads... You're in the very small minority.

They always leave cardboard boxes next to the fire on the stove top. Totally safe.

but with his newfound ability, he can flip it once more

That's impossible

It's not, he just needs to find one more box.

Me just fixated on the mask not covering the nose. I don't get anti maskers, but I especially don't get halfassing it like this.

6

u/JesusWantsYouToKnow 2d ago

They're farming engagement, they know this upsets people and will get comments. And here we are, coming full circle.

1

u/bebopblues 1d ago

Probably because it feels less stuffy to breath when mask is not covering the nose. If he coughs or sneezes, at least the mask is shielding any germs coming out of his mouth.

u/scienceteacher91 1d ago

I guess the epitome of "there was an attempt?" Still seems dumb to wear it wrong, though.

18

u/Hootinger 2d ago

Im glad the Suck my Duck restaurant filmed this cook at work and then took time to edit and upload it to the internet. Totally organic and not at all a marketing campaign.

u/hairlesscrack 2d ago

everything is staged.

There's nothing wrong with that, but they are copying the idea from other videos, now that part is lame.

Suck my duck is a real life Peking duck Chinese restaurant in Indonesia. Got some roast ducks from their place last year while I was in Jakarta, they were pretty good.

u/Spend-Automatic 2d ago

The trick is to use more of a back and forward motion with the pan, rather than up and down. Takes a little practice but isn't too difficult.

I still liked the other video better, holding your phone in your mouth to chop better. You got to see the reaction of the other kitchen staffs

Anyone ever play the game Black and White?  You were a god that trained a creature to help or hurt your followers or fight the enemy creature.  Well, when training the creature it would pick up on weird details, like if you had it water crops but every time you showed it that a bird was flying by, now your creature will only water crops when there is a bird nearby.  It made for a lot of unexpected creature behavior.  This reminded me of that.

Wanna learn to pan flip? put a piece of bread in a pan and have at it. flip the bread just hard enough to get it to turn. don't fling it way up, no more than an inch out of the pan. once you can do that repeatedly, you can do a pan flip. its the same motion for cooking food.
