How it's used
Refers specifically to flat, ribbon-like pasta shapes rather than thin strands like spaghetti. It is frequently used in Western-style restaurants in Hong Kong to distinguish wider noodles from standard round pasta. Unlike some specific noodle names, it is a broad category that covers various widths of flat pasta.
Measure word

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 河粉, which are flat rice noodles used in Chinese cuisine. While both are flat, 闊麵 is strictly reserved for Italian-style wheat pasta.
