Lost in Translation


On the whole, Chinese to English translations have been very good, but I have stumbled across some amusing exceptions.

From menus across the city:

Franch Style Fried Gooseliver
Chicken Leg in Salt
Younger Sister's Spicy Prawn Palace
Hogs Feet Through the Secret Way
Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
Sliced Beef Knuckle in Soya Sauce
Goose Flapper with Mushrooms
The best yet is this banner draped over an outdoor beer garden:

(Please keep your voicedown.don't distub the neighbours! Remember shut up just drink!)
