What is the meal the old man Kumada is eating?
He was the guy pretending to be a rich professor and stealing people's wallets
who gets arrested and asks for one more taste of his meal.
It looks delicious! I have to know!
looks like "mu shu pork."

Hi there,
Thank you for the reply rainofwalrus but by the looks of the picture you linked to it isn't that.
I made a little GIF to show how it looks exactly...

It looks like duck...with some sort of brown sauce (BBQ?) that goes on a little wrap-type-thing.
Thank you for your help =)
well, I cannot say whether it is mu shu duck or mu shu pork. but since your local chinese resturant will *only* have mu shu pork, I gave you the more popular option.
the sauce is hoisin sauce. but that, alone, doesn't mean it's duck. even from your gif, thanks, it could be roast pork or duck--I've have roast pork that looks identical to what's in the film.
and don't worry about discrepancies in the overall dish, mu shu will "look" different in every restaurant.

Hi there,
thank you for your reply ^.^.
With a little more research I am now sure it is Peking duck.
The meat was defiantly a bird as it was on the table in the film (couldn't include that in the gif, sorry) and according to my research is eaten exactly as shown in the movie.
"first, pick up a slice of duck with the help of a pair of chopsticks and dip it into the soy paste. Next, lay it on the top of a thin cake and add some bars of cucumber and shallot. Finally, wrap the stuff into a bundle with the sheet cake (a thin pancake)."
Now, to recreate!
Thanks once again.
in Western Chinese Restaurants, Peeking Duck will come sans pancakes (mu shu wrappers).

That may be regional. In every Chinese restaurant in the Boston area and the San Francisco area I've been to, the peking duck comes with small pancakes or small "buns" (buns being a bit thicker than a mushu pancake.)

well yes, I've seen the buns. like bao, only cut in half. I've even seen Peking Duck Bao; AKA Manapua in Honolulu (my hometown).

With 100% certainty it is Beijing Duck.
I lived in Beijing for three years and attended countless duck dinners.
It is such a great dish.
The dish is the roasted skin of the Peking Duck, which is usually served as an appetizer course when Peking Duck is served. The skin is typically arranged on a bed of fried chow mein noodles or rice crackers (you can see the dish in the beginning of the scene), along with thin wheat crepes (like Mu Shu Pork), sliced fresh spring onions, and hoisin sauce.
