Listen up all you Lovely Chinese people!
Can you please post or email me somehow the Chinese CHARACTERS for the following dishes:
- Kung Pao Chicken
- Mapo Tofu
- Stir-fried beef with Chinese spinach
- Stir-fried eggplant
Why do I need to know this, you ask? Well, the menus at our local Chinese restaurants are written in Chinese and VERY BADLY translated into Russian or English. Example of some of the dishes you can eat here:
- Fish in the form of grapes
- Chinese dumping
- Fried chicken fillet with some kind of green vegetable
- "Something that smells good" in a net
- Beef with vegetable
- Chicken with sauce
And since the waitresses are usually Russian, they have no idea how to explain it.
