How it's used
This brand is so iconic in Hong Kong that it has become a generic term for high quality instant noodles in many local tea restaurants. It is common to see menus offering an extra charge to upgrade standard instant noodles to this specific brand. The name itself is a loanword from Japanese, but it has been fully integrated into the Cantonese lexicon.
