The craze for Maggi sauce fried duck jaws started maybe 2 ish years ago and was heavily touted by those food expert DJs on 1450AM Chinese radio for the version offered at Tai Wu in Daly City a year back. I have not tried this yet anywhere but sounds interesting. At night markets in Taiwan, a popular item is Shandong style duck heads (grilled I believe), so you get a lot more than just the jaw.
This is a dish that is meant to go with Tsing Tao beer.
You could in theory request this style of frying/stir frying (and using Maggi specifically) on other dishes, and I'm sure they could accommodate if within reason. Probably works also with stir fry beef filets. There's a chance the duck jaws are all pre-marinated (which is entirely possible).
Also, Martin Yan on Saturday did a cooking demo on Larkin Street at the Asian Heritage Celebration street fair and brought along members of his M.Y. China crew for hand pulled noodle demonstrations, then. Guess where he ate dinner that night? :-)
