Easy to make and cheap to buy, instant noodles
(方便面) are
popular in China. But sales of instant noodles continue to fall these years. So
what's going on? Here are some possible reasons.
People want better food.
Instant noodles are very easy to cook.
However, Chinese people's lives have improved a lot. More and more people are
interested in life quality instead of just having a full stomach.
Trains
About 20 years ago, people usually ate
instant noodles during long train journeys in China. But now trains run faster
and faster and people have more choices about food on the train.
Ordering food online
Many apps on the phone can offer food
delivery (递送) to your home, school, office or wherever you are. These meals are
more delicious than instant noodles.
