"Fish Maw" isn't much more appetizing than "Crap meat".
*throws up in mouth a little*

That's nothing a local Chinese restaurant (that I have never gone to) just got busted by the Health Dept. for butchering a road kill deer in it's kitchen. Ewwwww

I heard that on the radio this morning joan. gross!

Oh, duh! I just realized this was probably supposed to be "crab meat."

@Adam - well look who just caught up! :P

Did anyone note the "Assorted Seafood Soup"? Almost as frightening as "crap meat"

I think I'm desensitized, because I looked at it and saw "Crab Meat" not "crap meat". It took me a minute to catch on that it said crap meat.

My first thought was "carp meat", and then I realized, that be crap meat.

Whoops, would be crap meat.

Brilliant, you'd almost have to order it just to see...ok maybe not! I love the Three Ingredients item as well, just like any 3 ingredients or whatever they have lying around the prep table?
My particular favourite Chinese irony was once coming across a place called - Soon Fatt Chinese.

I was in a Mexican restaurant in Santa Monica once that listed Custurd Pie and Cramberry Sauce on the menu. We'd already ordered our dinner but we skipped dessert.

BUT I RUB LA'S GOLDEN DRAGON!!!
( ( H U G S ) )
It's the best Koreanized Chinese Food EVER!
And by ever, I mean on a scale of 1-10, it's probably a soLid 8.
Jja Jja Myung - how I rub thee~! >_

haha, @Rottenmom - on the online menu of a Mexican restaurant in Freehold NJ, it lists "Stuffed Worm Flour Tortilla", *makes icky face*...among other funny typos.
I can't go to the website anymore, the spelling errors make me mental.

It's another way of saying, "Maw's Home Cooking." Maybe Maw should come back to the restaurant and proofread the menu and her recipes?

EEEEEEEW!
I am trying to push away the visuals.
Good one Adam!!!

I've seen "crap meat" on menus all over the place. Engrish is a sign you're in an authentic Asian restaurant.
And crab & fish maw soup is authentically Chinese. It's good stuff. Doesn't taste anything like fish; try it before you knock it.

@jayevee have you ever had imitation "vegetarian" fish maws?
Fish maw has an amazing ability to absorb flavours the way tofu does.

I hope the 3 ingredients in the "Three Ingredients with Sizzling Rice Soup" are Crap Meat, Fish Maws, and Roadkill Deer.
