The ginger duck in the pot tumbles and roils, and flames leap up; it is served still bubbling. Three or four old buddies sit around a table munching away, feeling the satisfying warmth spread through their bodies. As the alcohol takes effect, they become happy and excitable. Amidst the noise and chatter, they feel that enormous sense of well-being that comes with crowding around a blazing fire in wintertime.
三五好友圍著一鍋薑母鴨，吃著吃著，身體暖了起來；隨著酒氣的運行，血脈賁張、情緒高昂，在喧嘩熱鬧中，冬季圍爐的幸福感 High 到最高點，這薑母鴨可說是最具臺灣草根味的一道進補火鍋了。
