Misua is cooked during important festivities, and is eaten among the Chinese community in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei, Thailand, and the Philippines. It signifies long life in Chinese culture, and as such is a traditional birthday food. It is usually served topped with ingredients such as eggs, shiitake mushroom, beef, shallots or scallions, and roasted nuts.
