Wonton noodles originated in Guangzhou, flourished in Hong Kong in 1950s, and are still popular today. It is said that this kind of food was introduced to Guangdong in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The book "Living in Groups" says that "Lingnan is warm and vulgar, and eating wonton in winter is often a bit noisy, so you need to use a fan". As for when Guangdong used the word "wonton" to replace the name of wonton, there is no textual research.

history

According to legend, at that time, a Hunan native opened a "Three Kitchen Noodle Restaurant" in Shuangmendi (now Beijing Road) in Guangzhou, specializing in pasta, including Wonton Noodles. It's just that the wonton at that time was very rough, basically only boiled water noodles and meat stuffing. Later, after several improvements, it was rolled into thin skin with egg liquid and flour, stuffed with minced meat, dried shrimps and leeks, and became a school of its own.

Obviously, Guangzhou is not a region where noodles are the staple food. But people in Guangzhou have a special liking for this bowl of Wonton Noodles. As a result, the business of "Three Kitchen Noodles" is booming, and many people will soon follow suit. In the early days, wonton noodles were peddled by vendors and knocked on bamboo boards to attract customers, which quickly developed into a market.
