Three lovely Chinglish examples for you today.
These two are signs near our home. I walk by them often but usually without my camera. They are just too good not to share, so I deliberately took my camera one day.
I think this is a fancy name for what is in essence a tea house or maybe even a bar.
Yummy. Now doesn’t that name just make you want to go right in and order up several bowls?
And this one is thanks to my dear husband. He’s a gem about picking up a few needed grocery items on his way home. I texted him, asking for peppers and mushrooms (for pizza).
When he got home, I was surprised to find these dried mushrooms in the bag. He explained that the grocery store had no fresh mushrooms. (It’s very common to not be able to buy certain things at the supermarket. The choices fluctuate greatly.) The ladies in the store explained that these would work if I boiled them in water for a few minutes. (“What do they know about making pizza?” I wondered.) As I grabbed some scissors to open the bag, I noticed the wonderful Chinglish on the package.
My husband said that he knew I’d like the crazy English, so he bought that particular brand. Good man! And they worked okay on the pizza. A bit chewy, but maybe that was just from our mind.
