由来
  • 原指顾客在餐厅用餐后，将剩菜带走，后来又扩展为到餐馆点餐后，不就地用餐而是带走吃，或是将吃不完的食物，用饭盒装好带走的意思。
  • “打包” 这个词在不同地区都有使用，但有些说法认为 “将吃剩的食物带走” 是新加坡特有的用法。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The term initially referred to the packing of leftover food when dining at a restaurant. Subsequently, its meaning was expanded to include ordering food from an establishment and having it packed to be eaten at another location, or to pack leftover food to be taken away.

  • Although the term “打包” is used in various regions, its meaning of “packing leftover food” is only used in Singapore.
