chris cafe restaurant shanghai

Today we went for lunch at Chris Cafe, on Shanghai’s Nan Hui Lu near Beijing Xi Lu (behind Plaza 66). It looks pretty crappy from the outside (actually it always looks closed), but once you go inside (and up the stairs) it’s a really nice, HK style restaurant with a pretty wide range of dishes (Brocolli gratin = the bomb!)…

今天我们去了上海南汇路靠近北京西路（恒隆广场背后）的基斯餐厅吃午饭。这个餐厅从外面看很不入流（事实上它总是看起来像是关门的），但是一旦你走进去了（并且上楼），那就真的很漂亮，港式餐厅，里面有很多种菜式（奶油西兰花=炸弹！）…

The food, however, was not the main attraction. At the top of the stairs (on the 2nd floor) is a delightful arrangement of lamps…

不过菜肴不是那里最吸引人的。在楼梯上（2楼）有一组非常漂亮的灯饰…

…I don’t usually like dogs, but these ones are great! They’re quiet, they don’t crap everywhere, they do what you tell them…

…通常我不喜欢狗，可是这些是在是很棒！他们很安静，他们不会到处大便，他们做你要他们做的事情…

…but as with so many things in this crazy world, if you look closer you will uncover a horrible truth…

…可是这个疯狂的世界有很多东西，如果你靠近看，就会发现被掩盖了的可怕的真相…

I would never have known, but the shameless owner decided to give out namecards on the street!

在暴光上海男陪服务以后,最近我更惊讶地发现了一个开在虹口足球场附近的新的妓院。 我并不想知道的，但是无耻的业主在街上到处发名片!

I decided to check the info, and sure enough…the title of the filthy establishment was right there for all to see!

我决定看一下上面的信息，然后足够的确信了…那个肮脏的机构就在那里让所有人看！

shanghai-brothel

I couldn’t decipher the menu, but I think the majority of it just talked about ‘fruity’ and ‘juicy’ girls…disgusting…

我没法辨认那个菜单，可是我想其中的大多数都在说关于‘有果味的’和‘多汁的’女孩子们…恶心死了…

即使有很多人在抱怨中国（特别是上海）正在变成第52个州，可是从有些商品还是可以看出，那一定并不是针对老外市场的…

It says “Come to BK and buy a drink, and you can get a Whopper for just 1rmb (£0.10p, 0.5rm, €0.10c, $0.14c)”.

上面写着’来汉堡王买任意中饮料,加一元(£0.10p, 0.5rm, €0.10c, $0.14c)得皇堡’.

我到中国以来,还没有贴过很多中式英语的帖子和有趣的中餐菜单…但是大量的可怕的翻译在我的新年除夕夜的餐厅出现,意味着我再也不能视而不见了.
