Just returned from a wonderful holiday in China, and of course enjoyed some wonderful cuisine.
However sometimes all was not clear as these photos will prove!
I'm still a bit jet lagged so I thought I would keep it simple so, this is just a small taster of a better blog to come, I hope!
The local Chinese will never be quite the same again.
I hope you find this as funny and as intriguing as I did. In case you are wondering, no we didn't order any of the above lol. Well what would you have chosen?

Ha ha great post! 'Flavour of the sheep rods'????
My children are learning Mandarin at school. I often wonder how they sound to those who really know the language, as they 'practice' what they know when we go to Chinese restaurants:) I think that the Chinese language must be more poetic or perhaps complex than English - especially when looking at these translations! The mind boggles but I'd have gone with the washbasin option of that collection I think;) LOL I'm sure we're all inagreement that there is a bit of a worry of just what part of a sheep might have been presented to us from the translation of the rods;)
PS It would be lovely if someone who can read Cantonese or Mandarin could tell us just what the menu really was offering:):)
Welcome back Jacqui, I can't wait to read more about your adventures!
