Ordering Chinese Food in Chinese: 101
July 25th, 2005
Ordering Chinese Food for Dummies. This site provides a basic (and VERY lengthy) tutorial on, well, ordering Chinese food in Chinese. From explanation of characters to pronunciations (remedial at best, as it is not a language site), you can start from the beginning with a catalogue of characters to help you decipher the REAL meaning of that Chinese restaurant on the street corner (e.g. see how “Grand China” becomes “Golden Dragon”) or you can skip to the end for direct menu translations.
Check it out, here.

I have to say, this post (especially that menu) is making me hungry. How do you say hungry in Chinese? I used to know.

“hao e” pronounced: “how ‘uh”...can’t really write in the tones, but you get the drift.
