Big file:
Big-name stalls originated in Hongkong, China, and refer to open-air cooked food stalls that provide food on the street. In addition to the mobile (or fixed) food stalls, there are several tables and chairs beside the typical big-name stalls for diners to eat immediately.
As * * * has stopped issuing licenses for big-name stalls, few people have bought the traditional big-name stalls, leaving only 29 stalls between China and Hong Kong, mainly concentrated in Stanley Street, Kistler Street, Meilun Street, Elgin Street, Jiezhi Street, Yaodong Street, Shek Kip Mei Street and Keelung Street in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. Others have moved to the cooked food stalls near the municipal building to continue their business. In addition, there are similar big-name stalls in Macau, which have also been moved to cooked food stalls in nearby markets, and there are still scattered traditional street-side big-name stalls in Xia Huan and the parish; Familiar examples are the pork chops in Niuhe, Baoji, and Taizai Italy in Ying Street. The large-scale big-name stalls next to the workers' stadium have disappeared.
History:
Big-name stalls are usually opened in the streets or alleys, with stalls on the roadside and benches beside them for diners to sit down.
The name of big-name stalls originated from the licenses issued to big-name stalls in China Mainland and Hongkong in the early days. The area is very large, larger than that distributed to ordinary vendors at that time, and it needs to be hung in a conspicuous place. So the file of this big license plate is called "big file". Big-name stalls are also called food stalls, which may be named because big-name stalls are lined up in the street (homophonic in Cantonese), or they may be misspelled.
In the early years, there were many big-name stalls in Central and Sheung Wan, including Wellington Street, Qiuling Street and Kistler Street.
In 1950s and 1970s, big-name stalls in China Mainland and Hong Kong were the main places for people to eat, with reasonable prices and many food choices, so they were very popular with the general public and became a part of Hong Kong culture in China.
Big-name food stalls provide many kinds of food, including Chinese food and western food. Chinese food includes side dishes, fried rice noodles, fish egg noodles, rice porridge fried dough sticks and so on. Western food includes toast, sandwiches, Hong Kong-style milk tea, coffee, mandarin ducks and so on. And Chinese desserts such as bean paste and sesame sauce. Because the big-name stalls are all cooked in the open air, usually in water stoves, the fire can be fierce. Therefore, big-name stalls are famous for their strong wok.
Another feature of big-name stalls is that after patronizing one stall, you can still order other kinds of food from several stalls next door at the same time, and all stalls are willing to cooperate with this and use furniture. For example, if you want rice porridge for breakfast, ham and egg sandwich, the store may only give him ham and egg sandwich, but he will ask the porridge noodle shop next door to send you a bowl of rice porridge. When checking out, there are collections from neighboring stores and separate payments to guests.
When patronizing big-name stalls, you usually have to sit on the street to eat, without air conditioning or cover. Some are false eaves made of canvas. Although it is full of flavor, the food being prepared and the used tableware can only be placed on the street, and the finished tableware is often on the stall, so the sanitary environment is poor. Streets with big-name stalls also make it difficult for vehicles to pass and bring inconvenience to passers-by.
With the continuous progress of society, in the 1980s, * * * thought that the sanitary environment of big-name stalls was poor and it was easy to cause infectious diseases, so it began to be banned and no new licenses were issued. After the death of the holder and his spouse, the old certificate cannot be inherited by relatives. * * * The license plate was also withdrawn in cash, and the big-name stalls operating along the street were encouraged to go upstairs and move to the cooked food market of the municipal building. However, because the cooked food market is located upstairs, it is inconvenient to get in and out and lacks traditional flavor, so many big-name stalls are not as good as before after moving. However, many habits in big-name stalls, such as exchanging guests and furniture, are still preserved in many cooked food markets.
Some big-name stalls have gradually evolved into tea restaurants, and many people from mainland China and Hong Kong continue to visit them frequently. , reference: WNC/20050523/CA1621053, Dingding Sugar: also known as Dingding Sugar and Dangdang Sugar, formerly known as Ginger Sugar. Because of the tinkling sound in the process of cutting large pieces of candy, it is named "tinkling candy". Tinker bell candy appeared in the folk a long time ago and has always been loved by the people because of its delicious taste.
In the 1950s, food stalls began to appear. At the beginning, the owners of food stalls were all family members of civil servants who died in the line of duty. At that time, social security was not as perfect as it is now. The purpose of letting them have their own "company" is to prevent them from losing their economic pillars. But many years later, food stalls are not only the patents of some civil servants' widows, but everyone can build their own homes, so food stalls abound. ,
