Do you like eating instant noodles(方便面)? The food is easy to make and cheap to buy. It was invented by a Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958.
China is the biggest market for instant noodles. They can be a snack for students, a meal on a train, or just a choice for hungry workers. More than 46.2 billion packets were sold on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong in 2013, a BBC article reported. But by 2016, those sales had dropped to about 38.5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodles Association.
One of the reasons for the drop could be the rise of online food delivery services. They can bring you food wherever you are. They also offer more choices and tastier food. According to a 2016 survey by China Youth Daily, about 70 per cent of young people ordered meals online once a week.
This shows that Chinese people now expect to have a higher quality of their food, according to Shen Hongbing, a professor from Chongqing Technology and Business University.
Facing this challenge, instant food companies are trying to do something to increase sales. For example, one of the largest instant noodle companies puts more natural food and fewer man-made tastes into the noodles and it also tries to make its noodles non-fried(非油炸), which can cut the calories(卡路里) and bring less fat. Another big company takes action too. It changes the price from 9 yuan to 7 yuan for each bowl. There are many other instant food companies following them to improve their products to meet people's needs.
Will instant noodles disappear one day? We don't know. But they have surely left a mark on dining history.
