I carry around little note books and put in thoughts, words, ideas, details etc. In my unpacking and setting up of my "new" apartment I found one of my little books, and flicking through the pages came across a list of "Chinglish" - I think these were found when we travelled around Shanghai, Suzhou and other parts several months ago.
Obviously they were on the menu at one or more restaurants.
"Spicey yellow croaker" - Peppered yellow frog?
"Vegetable kidney in XO sauce" - Kidney beans?
"Braised cuttlefish in formented bean curd sauce" - formented?
"Dried meat floss" - Good for your teeth?
"Fried chicken ball with asparagus" Do chickens have balls?
"Saute loin pork with chilli and been sauce" - a has been?
"Fried vegetable with Galic" - OK, a typo maybe.
