Culture
Misua is cooked during important festivities, and eaten in China as well in Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Thailand, Myanmar, and particularly in both Taiwan and the Philippines. Misua signifies long life in Chinese culture, and as such is a traditional birthday food. Because of this, it is often discouraged to chew or cut misua noodles. It is usually served with ingredients such as eggs, tofu, bell peppers, oysters, pig's large intestine, sponge gourd (known as patola in the Philippines), shiitake mushroom, beef, shallots, or scallions, roasted nuts or fried fish.
