Cart noodle is a kind of à la carte noodle which became popular in Hong Kong in the 1950s through independent street vendors operating on roadsides and in public housing estates in low-income districts, using carts.〔(Cart noodles )〕 Many street vendors have vanished but the name and style of noodle endures as a cultural icon.〔 〕 ==History== With many immigrants arriving from mainland China during the 1950s, hawkers would sell food out of a cart roaming the streets.〔 Some vendors specialising in cooked noodles would sell them with an assortment of toppings and styles.〔 〕 Historically, the cart frames were assembled out of wood with metallic basins. It allowed the heat inside to cook the ingredients. In the old days, it was possible to receive large quantities for a cheap price. The noodles were considered "cheap and nasty". Cost was generally low to appeal to the average citizens. It was known for its poor hygiene. As such, they were also commonly referred to as "filthy noodle" (嗱喳麵). Since hygiene standards rose, many street vendors (licensed or otherwise) have vanished. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cart noodle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
