'f**k the beef' and 'f**k the chicken a fried rice'

There is a restaurant chain in Shaoguan called "Leisure 7 days". There is one on the second floor of the Metro Plaza shopping mall (near RT Mart) and also another in the Feng Du walking street.

A good thing about this restaurant besides the size of their drinks, is their menus. They have pictures and English translations on the menus which for someone like me, is a godsend! Sometimes it is really hard to work out what on Earth something is though, as the translations are wild. I can presume that they just typed the Chinese name into some sort of translation software and put it on the menu.

Whilst I was scanning the massive menu, chuckling to myself at some of the nonsensical English imagine my surprise when I saw 'f**k the beef' and 'f**k the chicken a fried rice'.

I really want to take a photo of their menu, but their restaurant is so dark (perhaps to stop people like me talking a photo).

Anybody stolen the menu? or at least got a picture? I am sure engrish.com would show it!

ahhaha~they really need to hire me to translate it

That is definitely a good business opportunity! Get your degree and translation and BEC certificates and then go from business to business in Shaoguan offering professional document and signage translation. You would make a killing!

Did you try that beef?
if you don't, that is so American Chinese not enough

I haven't tried it yet. I think it has stars for spiciness, my mouth can only handle 3 stars so far!

There's a lesson in my English about how to translate the names of famous Chinese cuisines into English. Such as "Dezhou stewed chicken", "West Lake fish in vinegar sauce" and so on. And we have to translate the names of famous Chinese tourism attractions into English in exam.

i've heard such crazy translation before and i know the chinese meaning. but i think they are too far from the chinese meaning. whatever, that's funny, hahaha

UPDATE:

f**k the beef is no more! I went to this restaurant last night and can tell you they took it off the menu!

However, some new classic dishes such as

• f**k the bean Cape meat
  F**k the hot the chicken
  The joss-stick f**ks the shredded meat.
  the platter of water
  water as well
  the rice
  and the fock cooks

I wonder what the "water as well" tastes like

ha this restaurant will be famous!
