In the city, there is almost no difference between the choice of supper and dinner, but teenagers often eat supper all their lives, which is caused by the extension of work or entertainment time. Compared with dinner, there are more snacks at midnight, such as barbecue, sugar water (sweet soup) and stir-fry. In other words, from a health point of view, it is better to choose more foods that help digestion for dinner.

Even so, the word "midnight snack" does not come from Lingnan. "Dream of Liang Lu" in the Song Dynasty says: "On New Year's Eve, the interior office presents a fruit box for supper, and all kinds of exquisite fruits are clustered (gathered) in the box: seasonal fruits, preserves, preserves, etc." "Snack" has been nicknamed "Snack" since ancient times.
The note "snacks" in Ci Yuan says: "Cantonese night market is also called snacks." This statement is not appropriate. Snacks include porridge, noodles and sugar water. Cantonese people enjoy these foods in after-dinner entertainment and call them "snacks", while "night market restaurants" are places to eat snacks. Strictly speaking, the earliest "midnight snack" refers to dinner, but this dinner is not a home-cooked meal but provided by a brothel.
