    It is fresh to squeeze the many privates.
    And I’d like to butter as many as I can.

    Provided they’re female privates, of course.

    Is it worth waiting for
    Till we live to eighty-four
    Still we get the same old
    Gru—-el!
    And strange critters’ privates, and pigs’ miscellaneouses, and Sydney’s juice.
    And I won’t even start on what we have to do the poor cow.

    I’m sorry, Sydney called to say she’s not feeling so fresh today.

    F*cking an entire cow river to fry it sure seems gruelling. I’d rather use napalm.

    I’ll bet that is what the cow said, when its river got fried.

    It slices, it dices, it can even fillet pork and beans.
    But wait, that’s not all… watch what Gruel-o-Matic does to this hot frozen duck.

    Three noodles for 18 dollars is 6 bucks a noodle. Or do I get more because they’re noodle noodles?

    It never fails to crack me up the way the Mainland translates 干 as f*ck, because the simplified character is used as the cuss word. 乾 is the traditional character, and as it’s used on the menu, it should mean “dry”. Ditto for translating 粥 as “gruel” instead of the more acceptable “porridge” – gee, that’s appetizing. Not. 多士 (duo shi) is transliteration of “toast” (here in Taiwan it’s 土司 tu si). Three texts cure 三文治 is transliteration of “sandwich” (san wen zhi – in Taiwan san ming zhi). And that “freeze” should be a simple “cold”. Sheesh. Guess I should apply for some translating work…..

  54. emily | 2:59 am |  Vote: Add rating 3  Subtract rating 0  

    For those who do not understand Chinese, let me explain how the weird name “many private” comes about. It actually means toast. Toast originated from the west. There is no exact name for it in the Chinese language. The Chinese call it “Tuo Sze” But when they tried to translate “Tuo Sze” into English, they translated the two words separately. “Tuo” in Chinese means many, “Sze” means private (as in private Benjamin). Hence, “toast “becomes “many private” LOL

    @Pete: It’s because those are set meals that contain 3 items each. The last two both offer fried eggs. :)

    Hot/freeze the duck? Couldn’t we just put him in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner

  60. tai fu | 9:03 am |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    The problem is they probably asked Chinese who speaks no English to translate and they just used google translate or something. Most likely they had a waiter or an administrative staff (who speaks no English) do the translation because they can do it for free.

    Be wary, foreign travelers, of what frying an egg you choose. One leads to deliciousness, the other leads to DISASTER! (You’re fxcked to fry the cow river, in other words)

  66. coffeebot | 6:14 am |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    “frying an egg”
    I’m sorry, I just can’t get over the lack of information on this. What next? “Bringing you a glass of water” “Ladling a bowl of soup” “folding a napkin”
    Picture me “Leaving a tip”

    it is fresh to squeeze the apple juice lol

    Ovaltine is a drink you can get it in England, basically its a cocoa / chocolate drink that you can serve either hot or cold, perish the thought that they never served up Horlicks on that menu.

    I’m not gonna eat here if I have to fry the egg and squeeze the Sydney juice myself.

    Proud Australian. Word of our fresh to squeeze juice has clearly traveled far along the cow feck river of powder to the distant land of many privates! If only the juice bars of Sydney knew the secret of Sydney juice.

    In seriousness I’m still unclear about “good the gram” or what’s in river powder and cow river. I’m also curious about silk frying and what a vegetarian’s supposed to have for breakfast!

    many privates = toast
    three texts cure = sandwich
    fxxk to fry the cow river = dry stir fried rice noodles with beef
    good the gram = Horlicks
    juice of Sydney = snow pear juice

    While gruel, salty egg
    It´s all been previously checked for lead
    So don´t worry, you won´t end up dead

    In this chinese restaurant; the ham fries the egg
    Wouldn´t you like to go to Mcdonald´s instead?
    I would squeeze the juice of Sidney for a coke and some bread

    It´s time to pay up, you begin to feel dread
    What the hell is this? Something must have been misread
    Everything costs 18 dollars, no matter how much you beg.

    Give these Americans some dishwater and tell them it’s freshly squeezed watermelon juice, or re-constituted powdered river.
