First of all, Yum Yum was not much cheaper as they would lead you to believe. Pine and Bamboo charges $55 for two courses and Yum Yum charges you the same for 3 courses, not hell of a difference, and Yum Yum was pretty much a hole in the wall. On top of that, Yum Yum had a much smaller duck than Pine and Bamboo. I knew something was awfully wrong when Yum Yum's owner started slicing the duck, there was way too much MEAT sliced along with the skin. The essence of Peking duck is the SKIN! One is not supposed to cut too much meat off along with the skin, because that will most definitely upset the balance between the crispiness of the skin, the sweetness of the sauce, the crunchiness of cucumber and the pungency of scallion all wrapped in a chewy pancake. 

The second blunder of Yum Yum was, they carved the skin and distributed the portions of duck, cucumber, scallion and sauce FOR you. That was completely appalling. Everyone has his own preference of the mix, so wrapping on behalf of the customer is considered a sin. I didn't like my wrap one bit, it was full of meat, the moisture of which completely soaked through the skin, destroying its crispiness.

The third course, duck soup was a joke. The soup base was prepared way beforehand and loaded with starch, spotted by a few duck bones here and there, while Peking duck soup was supposed to be cooked right after the carving with cabbage, so the dissolved fat would give the soup base a milky look and taste. 

If Yum Yum had been much cheaper, say, at least 1/2 cheaper than Pine and Bamboo, I would have been more content with my experience, but it isn't. My verdict is, Pine and Bamboo is still unarguably the best Peking duck place in Brisbane, by far.
