Happy Chinese New Year!
新年快樂！
I’ve seen a lot of goats lately…
Just got back from Zhuhai yesterday, a tourist beach town not far from here. Bordering the former Portugese colony of Macau, Zhuhai is also a Special Economic Zone but does not equal the hustle and bustle of Shenzhen’s metropolis. We went to a hot springs resort and had a lot of fun.
And, getting out of the big city helps to find a \lot more hilarious mistranslations.
Especially menus. Can’t you just taste that authentic Cantonese cuisine of pig brain and bullfrog?
I remain a vegetarian, more inspired than ever.
Presenting: Zhuhai Chinglish
Mmm hot dog bowel
Green hometown is nice
Bacteria, okay…..
Germs, appetizing
Beef balls pee, yeah! Not too mention the rest
chocolate gram force, I think I saw that cartoon before
Safety first, no spinning at the pier
Good to know

The ice-cream comes across as the most appetising to me 🙂

One of the first Chinese survival phrases I ever memorized was “Ce suo zai nar?” Came in handy.

I know right. But I always had trouble pronouncing ce suo, so I prefer xishoujian zai nar

Yes. That and “Ting bu dong” go a long way.

I asked my husband about the ‘bacteria’ dish and he said that they use the same character for (some) mushrooms and bacteria, the meaning depends on context. These are some really ghetto translations. Amusing, though!

Oh probably supposed to mean some fungus, which is still scientifically the wrong translation 🙂
