How it's used

Modern Hong Kongers often use this term to refer to traditional, family-run neighborhood stores that sell a mix of dry goods, snacks, and household items. It carries a nostalgic feel, as these shops are increasingly being replaced by large supermarket chains like 百佳 or 惠康. When referring to a generic convenience store, people are more likely to use 便利店 instead.
