WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“This needs to be heated up right now, otherwise it won't be enjoyable to eat.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Emphasis on Hot Food

Traditional Chinese dining values hot meals ('re') not just for taste but also for digestive wellness and hospitality; serving cold seafood is considered unpleasant and improper.
