A menu translation fail. "爆炒" (bao chao, high-heat stir-fry) was literally translated as "explode". The character "爆" means burst/explosive, referring to the intense wok heat. The dish is simply chicken stir-fried at very high heat, not chicken that literally explodes.
中文：菜单翻译错误。"爆炒"被直译为"explode"。"爆"字指锅中高温猛火。不是真的会爆炸的鸡。
