There are two restaurants (one in Saigon, one in Hong Kong) called "全記". Where does that name come from and what does it mean?

Although Google Translate renders the full phrase as "Full note" it renders the individual ideograms as respectively "all" and "remember".

This to me sounds very familiar to the official motto of the Province of Quebec:

"Je me souviens" - "I remember"

It may be paraphrased as conveying the meaning

We do not forget, and will never forget, our ancient lineage, traditions and memories of all the past.

In both Saigon and Hong Kong this would seem to be a reminiscence for the old colonial rule of respectively the French (or perhaps pre-1976 independence of South Vietnam) and the British.
