This is Chinglish - Chinese-English. I get it everyday....... Chinese language doesn't have tenses like we do, so sale to them is sell/sold/selling...... Jad at a guess would mean jade, but could be wrong. Great sign..

Went to a Korean/Japanese restaurant, and the had Spider Rolls. The description in the menu was Avocado, Rice, cucumber, sea weed and deep fried Soft shell CRAP.

(for those that don't know... it should be Crab).


Funny as hell, but tastes great.

Looks like an example of the common 'start-writing-too-wide-when-lettering-a-sign-syndrome' :lol:

They managed 'gifts' when they realized it, but it was too late for 'jades' ...

Best regards,
Andy
