What else is on a Chinese menu besides the dish names?
In traditional Chinese restaurants, there's always a manager or captain who writes a beautiful hand, inscribing the menu for banquets with a brush in a powerful calligraphic style. While the dishes are fundamentally the same: "Prosperous Suckling Pig," "Braised Giant Shark's Fin," "Crispy Fried Chicken," "Steamed Fresh Seafood," "Double Delights of Pastries"... and the menu is often in festive pink, the unique brushstrokes of each calligrapher — some grand and imposing, others lively and free-flowing — imbue these "standard dishes" with exceptional vitality and personality. Combined with the restaurant's exclusive logo and menu design, it reveals a charm akin to "calligraphy and painting."
