[1][2] In Cantonese restaurants of the past, tea was not offered in a present-day teapot but in a bowl.
Instead, quite a number of them were simply big buns, such that two of them easily filled up one's stomach.
This saying, however, is now rendered anachronistic under the heavy influence of the "bite-sized trend".
The "two pieces" now is normally referring to Har gow (蝦餃) and Shumai (燒賣)[3].
