THIS SHOP DOES NOT RECEIVE THE JAPANESE, THE PHILIPPINES, THE VIETNAMESE OR DOG

Mr. Wang in Peking refuses to serve various types of people, for fear that his waitress might go super saiyan and rip them into little smelly pieces.
It is unfair to dogs.

Over forty visitors. I really can't figure out why. Maybe a foreign tour group is scheduled to sample Peking cuisine? If so, do not bother, Northerners can't cook. Real cuisine starts at Shanghai, continues southward to Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and ends just shy of the border.

Avoid bikini briefs; they only look good on manga babes. Whereas French cuts and High cuts are flattering for adults of all genders and ages.
I seek your confident transformation, you pervert.

Well over a dozen students. And I can only presume that this is scientific research, part of the required reading for a course.
College has changed a lot since my day.

Kindly get stuffed.

Also over a dozen visits. Not surprising, as it is the all-time most popular post here. Being able to read and write the names of foods and prepared dishes is a rewarding ability in any Chinese restaurant, as you stand a far greater chance of getting exactly what you want for lunch.
What I ate in Chinatown yesterday was 糯米雞, 韮菜餃, 豬肉燒賣, and 炸芋角, washed down with coffee. The first item required a drizzle of soy sauce upon opening, the last two some dabs of chili paste.
It was satisfying and delicious!

Earlier I had purchased long beans and fingerling white eggplant (白茄子 'baak ke ji'), as well as duck liver sausage (鴨潤臘腸 'ngaap yeun laap cheung') and half a pound (半磅 'pun pong') of plum head ground meat (梅頭肉碎 'mui tau yiuk seui'), richer and tastier than the regular minced pork, and lovely with chopped black mushrooms (香菇 'heung gu') mixed in.
Think of little meatballs, for example.

I shall dine well.


SEA CUCUMBER - SOAKING AND BRAISING A DELICIOUS SLUG

A disquisition about the joy of slimy things. It is better than being covered in maple syrup. Far, far better.

Half a dozen readers. I'm guessing that most were overseas Chinese, as the concept of kwailos being interested in this comestible is staggering.
White people usually don't cook.
They eat at McDonald's.
And grow fat.


HAM SAP LO - THE CANTONESE PERVERT

You made an obscene proposition to little miss Wong. She then called you a name. Seeking to endear yourself to her, you decide to find out what that term means. Cultural knowledge is crucial in conquering hearts and minds, no?

Three visitors. Who are probably all ham sap.
Little miss Wong is everywhere.
You repulse her.




Feedback in the form of comments, as well as inquiries and suggestions, will be very greatly appreciated. Most especially regarding food.
I am always keenly interested in what can be eaten.
It's more achievable than that other stuff.
Let's be realistic here.
