When we eat out, usually the menus are all in Chinese. But occasionally there is an English translation. However, it isn't always that helpful. Here is a selection from one restaurant that could probably do with a new interpreter:
- smoded young pigeon
- rumpet head mixed green melin
- duck pared the skin
- pig's bowed and tammy was famed
- jie-jie gristle cooked with Chinese pot
- large intestine cooked in iron plate
- vetch and wing
- the fin with fresh crab is in impendent pot
- dismantle fresh crab with fin
- tender top with sppeced
- mashed porate
- mixed with home
- espercial cooking duck chip
- best old duck
- sea slug pot porcine abdomen
- wing juice cabbage
- the soup have salf chop and radish
- flood unresrine quick boiled fat
- bean curd is distinctive
- prairie jerk
- ling code and yellow
And my two favourites:
- cutlet like airing clothes
- the bouilli is button up
Yum yum! There's a nice little message at the back of the menu too.
Your advent is our honoor, serving for you is our expectation, wishing you progress and pleasure and the lucky and health will go with you forever.
Isn't that nice. Everything sounds better in Chinglish.

One of my neighbors loves to go to the Chinese Market and has the idea that I like Chicken feet. So she often drops off a steaming pile of chicken feet at my door! Ugh!!
Yer funny. Yup. You\'re on my list of super cool blogs to stalk. Feel honored. I love Olios.M
Ok- So I removed the "Mandy" from my site. I didn\'t like it- but I did it. I will now refer to you as Amandapandalina. That way there will be no confusion.
ROFLMAO........who do they get to translate!!!! I see products here, produced there, and again the \'chinglish\' is freaking hilarious!!!!! Puts me in mind of people who get chinese characters as tatoos.....they think it means peace, love, health or whatever, and actually it says you are an idiot, or some such thing......have a great one!C u later
