    Is the rice gigling about the garlic or is it the other way round

  2. Niagara Powered | 1:14 am |

    It amuses us, knowing the other ingredients we used in this.

  3. Niagara Powered | 1:27 am |

    More gigle, less filling

  4. Spoony | 1:30 am |

    You think the gigle garlic is good, try the gaggle of geese dish.

  5. Spoony | 1:33 am |

    That green stuff isn’t a vegetable…

    can I get second helpings?

  6. Alex | 1:43 am |

    Available for a limited time at Hehe Tea House.

    There once was a lady who laughed twice
    When she had the garlic and rice
    Her husband loudly farted
    She said, “Don’t get me started
    I just can’t take him anywhere nice.”

    “Have fun impressing your date now! *gigle gigle*”

  9. beechoak | 5:10 am |

    … or try one of our other classic novelties such as black pepper chewing gum, spritzing boutonniere, x-ray specs, and the ever-popular whoopi cushion!

  10. Grifter | 5:15 am |

    Mmmm could I have some extra sniker sauce please?

  11. Big Fat Cat | 5:20 am |

    The restaurant is operated by Krusty the Clown

  12. DieselDragon | 6:26 am |

    They must be enjoying something out of the ordinary in their smonking room… ;)

  13. DieselDragon | 6:29 am |

    Upon seeing this menu, the chef’s doctor began to wonder if prescribing him Prozac had really been a wise idea… :)

  14. DieselDragon | 6:31 am |

    The manager’s just returned from the Il Jin Laundry… :)
    [See yesterdays Engrish photo]

  15. DieselDragon | 6:35 am |

    A true Engrish.com favourite! :)

  16. DieselDragon | 6:37 am |

    We also used to offer “Garlic complaining rice” too, but only English tourists seemed to appreciate it for some reason…

  17. Mike | 6:57 am |

    Puzzlingly, the Korean says it’s “Jiggle Jiggle” rice (I’m serious), which doesn’t help much.

  18. Yogesh Damle | 7:01 am |

    My favourite accompaniment is HeHe tea!

  19. Tim | 7:06 am |

    Quagmire’s Korean counterpart.
    Giggety, giggety!

  20. kringo | 7:07 am |

    Must be food specific to curing the munchies.

  21. kringo | 7:09 am |

    Asian cuisine is no laughing matter - except apparently at this restaurant.

  22. BeadyEl | 7:23 am |

    I have a hunch garlic isn’t the ONLY herb used in this dish…

  23. ItWasSuited | 7:57 am |

    General Tickle Tickle Tso’s Chicken

  24. demondude777 | 8:55 am |

    Waiter, my rice is too happy. Can I substitute it for the pissy pissy rice instead?

  25. Classic Steve | 9:02 am |

    This menu was dictated. The transcriber didn’t realize the chef would be playing a trick.

  26. Gago ka | 9:36 am |

    Either that or the “LOL Burger”.

  27. Cbass | 11:26 am |

    i definitely taste this dish…i love garlic so much and i don’t give a f*ck about the how bad would semll my breath after eating it!

  28. bigcaddy | 2:03 pm |

    served at the heehee tea house

  29. Xila31 | 8:48 pm |

    “Waiter, my food seems to be laughing at me.”
    “No, sir, it is laughing with you, not at you.”

  30. B3llit0 | 11:20 pm |

    What’s even worse is that the translation software attempts to transliterate a Korean word it evidently doesn’t know. The transliteration is actually supposed to be pronounced like “jiggle jiggle”.

  31. Widiwondel | 2:42 am |

    Favorite dish of Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Minh…

  32. Yogesh Damle | 8:22 am |

    A person trying to digest this rice sounds like a laughing hyena!

  33. David | 10:58 am |

    I think I’d prefer to have a plate of the Sweet and Sour ROFL Chicken.

  34. Easily Amused | 3:45 pm |

    Apparently the rice is in question if they gigle so much before saying it.
    “This is–gigle gigle–rice!” Giggle, *wink, giggle.

  35. koyangi | 3:18 pm |

    Even Google Translate does a better job: “Spicy octopus and roasted garlic in the sauce sizzling rice”, though still Engrishy.

    FYI: ‘지글지글’ = ‘jigeul-jigeul’ = “sizzle”

  36. Orc | 12:51 pm |

    lol, giggle giggle rice with a hehe teahouse makes you jiggle jiggle, so many things to chose from

  37. Anonymous | 2:30 pm |

    It’s the nitrous oxide in the restaurant affecting your brain, really!

  38. Minato Mirai | 6:01 am |

    Would it keep giggling after I swallow it?

    This is extra funny b/c it actually it reads (in Korean) more like “jiggle jiggle” not giggle.
