How it's used
While this term is technically correct for a business dealing in meat, it often sounds quite formal or industrial in daily conversation. Most people in Hong Kong prefer using specific terms like 肉檔 for a small butcher stall in a wet market or 肉店 for a retail shop. Using this term might imply a larger scale supplier or a wholesale distributor rather than a local neighborhood shop.
