Why eating noodles for birthday?

i don't do that in my family but yeah i heard that it's a symbol of longevity.

 

is it only a symbol of longevity?

 

i have never heard of eating noodles, but the explanation about longevity does sound good. think that could be right.

 

^ its sounds good becuase it IS the right answer <_<

 

-unsure huh? i aint heard of dat b4

 

good idea lol...gar may jo as wel lol - n get wrecked in the same time, hehe...

 

don't know. Our family don't do that.

 

perhaps you are real chinese...lol
was just joking...

 

I think people do eat noodles during their b'day.
Especially those old generation in china and hong kong.
Just my opinion though ...

 

longevity noodles? First that i've heard of it really for the birthday....

 

i do eat noodle at my birthday but i have no idea why.

 

i ve heard never use to do that
but dont we also eat a typical kind of bread too saw pao?

 

long noodles for longevity...

 

lol umm never heard of that tradition i would be very sad if i had to eat 2minute noodles for my birthday.. must have big feast =))

 

i knoe about the noodle thing but my family usually follow that tradition on moon festival and new years. its suppose to mean live a long life because of the type of noodle and fat choi, the black moss = money luck. i think so anyway.

 

I usually eat BBQ or da been low for bday =)

 

i heard it b4 but never done it o.o

 

yh i knw every yr when it comes to someones birthday we alway have to eat noodles. think it is a tradition

 

i think the longevity noodles is meant for new years. never did it for birthdays before.

 

it's a chinese tradition, a custom
