How it's used
This dish is a classic example of traditional Cantonese banquet cuisine that requires high culinary skill, specifically the technique of removing the bones without breaking the skin. Because it is labor intensive, it is rarely found in casual eateries and is usually reserved for special occasions or family celebrations at traditional restaurants. The name implies a grand, impressive dish fit for a conqueror, reflecting its status as a centerpiece of a feast.
