How it's used
Refers specifically to the roasted duck dish served with thin pancakes, scallions, and hoisin sauce. While often associated with high end dining, it remains a staple for celebratory family meals in Hong Kong. It is common to specify the number of courses, such as two or three, when ordering, as the remaining meat is often stir fried or made into soup.
