try out these food.

They've got soups like

Don't like butter? No problem. They have it French style too

  10. Robin, yeah, direct translations are so lame but I would have thought they would have someone go over the menu before they get it on print. Reminds me of a subtitle I came across. It was a cowboy movie and the guy said something like "Pass me the dough." and the translation came up in Bahasa Malaysia as "roti" for the word "dough". duh!!

    YD, wonder which one is far, the veg or the mushroom. haha..

  11. Joepsc, now that's an interesting thought. And remember to ask her or him to speak up. :D

    Hi Pinkpanther, you must have missed this interesting place. My friend who forwarded this is in the travel trade and this menu is from a 3-star hotel.

    Aiyoh, Pink Cotton, can see you drooling already. haha....

  12. Slurp!, you got it! Competition is really stiff out there and they have to serve better and more unusual stuff. Gosh! privates!

    Hi Winn, yeah lah. I had to subdue my chuckles too.

    "All your soup are belong to us."

    MM, I read a similar line somewhere and as usual you came to mind. Now, where did I see that? I must remember to note it down if I ever come across this type again. This line is so typical of direct translations but so silly yet cute in its own way. Thanks for the laugh.

    Pandabonium, how did I miss that. That is so cool and apt. hahaha...
