A mysterious packet

I ordered a duck confit for takeaway at What The Duck. It was packed in a bento box.

When I saw the sauce packet beside the salad, I thought, "Good, they are letting us pour the salad sauce only when we want to eat it!"

But when I was pouring the sauce onto the salad, I felt that it was thick, not like usual vinaigrette. Tasting it a bit, I realized that it was actually the sauce for the duck! (see my previous post linked above...it is actually the longan sauce that comes with the duck confit)

Luckily I was pouring the sauce on the side of the salad (at the spot where the sauce packet was), because sometimes I don't like having too much vinaigrette on my salad and it would allow me to mix in less if I preferred. So I could scrape out most of it (the sauce is thick, so it didn't really flow anywhere) into a sauce plate instead, and have it properly with my duck.

I wonder what happens to those who have never ordered this dish before! They might use it as a "strange salad sauce".

Note: All the side dishes that you can see in the previous post, under the duck, was still under the duck in this bento box. But of course it didn't look as good as on the plate, since everything was packed tightly into that compartment. And you can see the three pieces of confit garlic at the top of the photo, beside the duck. (just to say that, everything on the plate really made its way into that box!)
