Adventures in Chinatown supermarkets

Grilled Cheese

So you go into Chinatown, and there’s simply no avoiding the Engrish. Here’s a few highlights from my last trip:

anti-damp beverage
Dear Chinese readers: what did they actually mean by “anti-damp”?


smock chicken

plastic bruch
These were the most puzzling…an Engrish spelling adjacent to the correct spelling.


sushi bar 1nd floor
Yes, the sign used to say “2nd floor”, and they just covered up the 2 with a 1. Guess they were too cheap to actually buy the “st”.


ingredients
So the fourth ingredient in these buns is…ingredients. Helpful!

    The Bruchs are for the more serious jobs, like cleaning up after big parties.

    Shellfish in buns? What buns were you buying? May I feel your buns?

    Hey D, I was just in the middle of posting an Engrish post myself, having just gotten back from the Korean market! 🙂

    Oh, and re: Anti-Damp Tea: in a Chinese medicine context, it actually makes sense. Dampness is one of the “pathogens” that can “invade” the body and cause arthritis-type pain. I imagine that is what the tea would be for.

    @Derek: This is what the industrial food manufacturers rely on.

    @Robert: Fortunately, I hate parties, so there’s no need for bruches.

    @Q: Strangely, these were BBQ Pork Buns. You would have been able to feel them if I’d not eaten them already.

    @Sworn Enemy: Thanks for the Anti-Damp explanation. Did the link provide you with enough hits to make I Hate Pink! more viable for commercial exploitation?

    btw every time I hit the “make me some bean dip” quote, I fall over laughing.

      If you ever end up saying that to your wife, let us know about it.
