Strange Chinese menu items

Much has been said about Chinglish....this menu was photographed at a Peking duck restaurant in Tianjin, China:

Lus vetus smoked croaker, parch bazhen germ, slip away processed bean curd and right at the bottom, private savings carbonado.

Frusta - short for frustrated?

Not sure what aspic is, or how the sea manages to son

Competitive products hang carbonado

French wine juice of bacteria lamb chops

Original artist sauteed beef fillet

I love this: In A Class By Himself

As opposed to bad kung fu soup?


I wonder whose hairtail it is

And our favourite: Ineffective and worthless troops.

  2. Aspic is jelly, probably made from the pork gelatine, like Yi Lin's heladinas *yum yum* hehe

  3. Yi Lin - Eng was the one who chose the restaurant and did all the ordering!

    Tracy - thanks for stopping by! Yi Lin's post about the gelatine disguised as ice cream was hilarious...had me laughing like crazy! (Sorry Yi Lin...)
