This is a rather Engrish.com entry, but it cracked me up when I saw the following menu at a popular Cantonese restaurant in San Francisco and I just had to snap a picture and share it with you.
So do I fancy Fish ManCrab Meat with Fish Man Soup? Maybe not, but I would certainly go for a steaming bowl of Crab Meat with Fish Maw Soup anytime.

Chili Crab (Crab in Sour and Spicy Sauce)
We will be leaving for Malaysia to celebrate Chinese New Year tomorrow morning. Before I leave, I feel obliged to share a very delicious recipe with you, so here is my crab in sour and spicy sauce (酸辣蟹), or known as “chili crab” in Singapore. The timing couldn’t be better as Chinese (Lunar) New Year is just a few days…
Stuffed Crab (Poo Cha)
When I was growing up in Malaysia, my favorite times were the many festivities that we observed. With every festivity, my late grandmother would prepare lots of food. Sometimes her younger brother’s wife—my grand aunt—would come and cook together, then exchange or share the dishes they made. I loved the idea of exchanging food, because we got to try out…
Ginger and Scallion Crab Recipe (姜葱蟹)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts was trying to devour her escargot and it flew across the table?

Mmm….talk about promoting cannibalism! Hee Hee… I’m a fan of Engrish too. Oh, go eat the Salt&Pepper Crabs in R&G Lounge at Kearny Street! It’s finger licking good!
muahaha..did you point that out to the waiter/waitress? Better let ‘em know, else the Americans would be laughing at it
Welcome back! u had me in stitches! just like ‘lamp chops’, ‘tortillas = a mexican wrapped in a ….. served with vegetables bla bla bla.”
WMW – yes I have been to R&G, but to tell you the truth, I think the food is expensive. Well, they are good, but I can get cheaper salt and pepper crab elsewhere, for example, at 8 Immortals in Sunset.
Chris – no I didn’t tell them. They are very rude and with no service. I suspect if I tell them, they will not care anyway. :P
Audrey – yes, I know about “A Mexican wrapped in flour dough and deep-fried to perfection…” LOL.
I also drove by a Vietnamese restaurant that’s called “Tu Lan Vietnamese.” I was ROFL. Too bad, I couldn’t take a picture as I was driving!!
LOL. For the longest time, Red Onion Cafe in Irvine had “Chicken Quarterback” on the menu. I kept picturing a burly chicken in football gear; the pride of the team until a unfortunate knee injury destined it for a more gristly fate.

Cat just asked me to let you know that the Sam Woo on Irvine Center Dr. serves General Chaos Chicken. Engrish abounds!

Chubbypanda,
That’s so funny! I would definitely like to try out “General Chaos Quarterback Chicken.” Sounds absolutely intriguing.
A Mer-man dish? How exotic!
