由来

  • 除了面粉或麦粉，制作面薄的原材料还包括盐、薯粉、调味剂等。

ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “面薄” is a paraphrase of the Teochew dialect term mee pok.
  • In addition to plain flour or wheat flour, the raw materials used to make mee pok include salt, tapioca flour, and flavouring.

例句
他表示，日本人的面食在二战后，发展出自己行走世界各地后汇聚而成的风味，因此面薄虽然是本地美食，不过却有了变异，例如佐料的运用，日式蘸酱都让口感异于传统面薄，这或许也是该摊位受欢迎的原因之一。（《新明日报》，13/10/2015）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
He said that Japanese noodles developed its own style and taste after travelling around the world and gathering flavours post-World War II. Hence, although mee pok is a local delicacy, it has undergone variations in aspects such as the use of condiments. The Japanese dipping sauce differentiates the taste and texture of this particular mee pok from the traditional kind, which may be one of the reasons for the stall’s popularity.
