What do you mean by big files?

Food stalls, formerly known as "big-name stalls", are named after the installation and hanging of large-size licenses at fixed stalls. This mode of operation began in Hong Kong after World War II. At that time, everything was in a hurry, and people began to set up roadside stalls to sell cooked food. Among them, the big-name stalls are bigger than ordinary vendors, and there are several folding tables and chairs. The booth is a huge box, which is tied up with wooden boards and iron sheets at night and placed on the roadside, so that more equipment can be put in and food similar to restaurants can be provided. Since the 1950s, the government has issued a "fixed stall hawker licence" for regulation. Compared with other roadside stalls, the license plate of a big-name stall is a big piece of paper, which needs to be mounted and hung in a conspicuous position, so it is called "big-name (big-name) stall". In Cantonese, "stall" is similar to "shop" and "stall".

The food stall is providing food for the guests.

In the early years, Chinese in Hong Kong concentrated in the areas of Central, Sheung Wan and Wan Chai, which was also the birthplace of big-name stalls.

In Cantonese, "Pai" and "Pai" are homophonic. Many people mistakenly think that food stalls refer to "a large row of people eating", so they mistakenly write it as food stalls. In Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia and other areas dominated by Fujian and Guangdong immigrants, there are no big-name stalls, which are called hawker centers locally.
