Sellers of mee, or noodles, would strike a stick on a bamboo slab or use bamboo clappers, thus producing the “tok-tok” sound which gave rise to this colloquial name. In fact, fishball noodle sellers differentiated themselves from other noodle sellers (for example wanton noodles) by producing a different sound with slightly different implements.
