Signese

I want whole menus so I can decide what to eat. 

OK here's another bit

 

Gizzards for me!

Its the rice cake fried yellow in June for me but only in June:)

@mungouk -- Those are laughably terrible! Not even Google Translate could produce such a mess. A peek behind the scenes is in order:

 

Dishwasher Wang to Frycook Zhang: Listen Zhang, don't you think we need an English menu to give this place some class and draw in more tourist dollars?

 

Frycook to Dishwasher: Absolutely, Wang. I've mentioned to Lao Yang but he said he's too busy with other matters just now to get it done professionally. I plan to ask my nephew's middle son to help us with the project. Even though he's only 12, Teacher Li says his English is absolutely amazing. 

 

Three days later, Lao Yang, the boss 老板 proudly tacks up the menu boards on the walls of his new 小吃店 snack shack. Thus another Chinglish menu 英文菜单 is born and Lao Yang pulls ahead in the crazy race to restaurant success.

Didn't they open a FamilyMart or 7-Eleven in Edinburgh yet? ?

MDBG gives 中式英语 for "Chinglish"... is this in common usage?

 

 

All my Chinese friends are aware of "Chinglish" and use the word like that, not in a Chinese translation. I think it kind of transcends the border between the Chinese-speaking world and the English-speaking world.

I've heard native speakers use it and I use it.
