Sign photos in the Telegraph

This one from a restaurant in Beijing.

It reminded me of being in a restaurant in Hong Kong and reading a rather confusing English menu translation for a shrimp dish. All I could really understand was that it was quite special. Well, the quite special part was that they brought a burner and pot of boiling water and proceeded to cook the the plate of live shrimp at your table. The shrimp were excellent but I think I would have preferred not to see the cooking!
