Chinese menu vs "American Menu"
 

I'm going to a restaurant for lunch in a couple of hours that supposedly has a Chinese menu and an American Menu. Though language based as well, I am being told that the Chinese menu has more authentic dishes on it while the American menu has the American style food on it.

I want to order off the Chinese menu but don't know how to read Chinese.

Does anyone have a suggestion of what to look for to order off of the Chinese menu? I like hot and spicy stuff.

thanks

...why dont they just put all the things on the chinese menu in a translated version, i.e. the "American Menu"? O_o

but i digress.

why not check both menus, and see if the american one has something you like on it?

ASK THE ASIAN WAITER/WAITRESSS!! Though they may suggest the most expensive dish... LOL jk.

Umm.. Sorry I can't help. I'm chinese but I don't know what a lot of foods are called in chinese LOL.

:zomg:
Nowai. Man, have you been missing out.

So I get there and there is indeed the back to the menu that is in Chinese and I tell the lady at the counter I want some food to go (meeting went late). I turned to the Chinese side of the menu and said I want something spicy. She gets me some pork dish in a spicy garlic sauce with vegetables.

It is YUMMMM. Also about 3 pounds worth of food not counting the rice I got on the side.

LOL

Can you say lunch and dinner.

I'm late to the party too, but generally any time something has Szechuan in the name, it's hot. Google says the Chinese is 四川菜 or 川菜, but I have no grasp of the language either, so for all I know it's something rather rude.

Some one here said it was probably Yushang Pork. What ever that is. All I know it was good.

The Chinese menu didn't have English translation!??!!?!?

That's not very smart of them~
