How it's used
This term is a direct loan translation from English, commonly found on menus in Western-style restaurants or local cafes in Hong Kong. It specifically refers to a creamy, thick soup base rather than a clear broth. Unlike traditional Chinese fish soups, it is almost always served with a spoon and often accompanied by bread or crackers.
