How it's used

Describes a situation where someone accepts an offer instantly because it is too good to pass up. The imagery comes from the idea of being so eager to say yes that one would spit out food mid-meal just to answer. It is almost exclusively used for positive, highly advantageous opportunities like job offers or profitable deals.

jau5有gam3咁hou2好ge3嘅tiu4條gin2件，nei5你zou6做mat1乜m4唔𦧲faan6飯jing3應aa4呀？

With such good terms, why wouldn't you accept it immediately?

Common phrases

zik1即hak1刻𦧲faan6飯jing3應

to accept immediately without hesitation

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe just any agreement or simple yes. It specifically implies that the offer is exceptionally attractive and the acceptance is driven by personal gain or excitement.
