ALPHABET SOUP
An Italian friend spotted the following exciting items on a Hong Kong menu at the weekend.
Chicken Fixings and Veg
-
Fried Binary Clam Noodles
-
Diversified Late Noodles
-
Fried Meet and Noodles with Wok
I think someone's been a bit too eager with the English-Cantonese dictionary, but you can see where they're coming from.
'Chicken Fixings' could be 'feet' or 'legs' (like the fixings on the bottom of a cabinet or table.
'Fried Binary' noodles could be 'twice-fried' noodles in a clam sauce.
'Diversified' noodles are almost certainly mixed noodles, though whether 'Diversified Late Noodles' are mixed noodles that arrive cold, I couldn't say.
'Fried Meet' is pretty straightforward, though they may have to cook the noodles a long time before the wok gets soft enough to eat as well.
