At a big cantonese food restaurant here. Opened since 1933. Asked for an English menu for a laugh.

Brought this taped together, shit on menu without any condolences. She honestly saw no problem handing me this

2018-05-08 09:52:16 UTC  

It's in English (kind of) but I still have no idea wtf any of it is haha

2018-05-08 10:02:10 UTC  

Why would anyone steam meatballs?

2018-05-08 10:10:53 UTC  

@porco ancient chinese recipe

2018-05-08 10:15:24 UTC  

I could see that working, actually. Boiled meatballs are great.

2018-05-08 10:24:21 UTC  

you gotta understand that's probably the best you'll get

2018-05-08 10:26:06 UTC  

steam meatballs are good

2018-05-08 10:26:44 UTC  

the Cantonese style is a clean taste so loads of dishes are steamed

2018-05-08 10:27:33 UTC  

basically dim sum

2018-05-08 10:39:52 UTC  

I don't trust 119

2018-05-08 10:42:01 UTC  

I can see a steamed meatball tho

2018-05-08 10:42:14 UTC  

Gotta try that on next occasion

2018-05-08 10:42:54 UTC  

what's 119?

2018-05-08 10:46:33 UTC  

Some Angus ribs for 30chink bucks

2018-05-08 10:48:24 UTC  

Probably sourced from some guy named Angus.

2018-05-08 10:50:40 UTC  

they slice it thinly, its not a big plate of ribs

2018-05-08 10:50:51 UTC  

its like dim sum sized

2018-05-08 10:51:23 UTC  

also mfw people tick the boxes

2018-05-08 10:51:38 UTC

2018-05-08 10:53:40 UTC  

Kek

2018-05-08 10:53:55 UTC  

Admittly I just stopped after the middle

2018-05-08 10:56:04 UTC  

China. 👌

2018-05-08 11:11:01 UTC  

Steamed meatballs aren't bad. Most dimsum and cantonese food is steamed or boiled

2018-05-08 11:12:03 UTC  

The menus are disposable. Everyone gets a new menu you Mark and then give to the waiter

2018-05-08 11:12:08 UTC  

Then they throw it away

2018-05-08 11:12:17 UTC  

It's kind of wasteful.

2018-05-08 11:13:00 UTC  

it's a neat idea though

2018-05-08 11:13:26 UTC  

or you could hire waiters that can write

2018-05-08 11:14:09 UTC  

Cantonese restaurants always have really shitty and stupid staff I swear

2018-05-08 11:14:14 UTC  

No matter what city I feel like

2018-05-08 11:22:44 UTC  

Also: my fiancees parents asked America's literacy rates . I said it's like 99% it's a developed nation and they were like bullshit what about 1990? I said probably the same just a little lower I'd assume

2018-05-08 11:22:57 UTC  

And they started looking up online everything and looking at China's rates

2018-05-08 11:23:35 UTC  

Because while they know how to read, they know a lot of people who either can't read and write, or struggle to read simple sentences

2018-05-08 11:23:42 UTC  

This is people in their 50s

2018-05-08 11:24:23 UTC  
2018-05-08 11:24:39 UTC  

mere 3-5% illiterates in 1980s
