Saddam Food

Giles Dawe — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:13:15 +0000

The Passion Barbecue Chicken Wings a restaurant in Shenyang, China.

Is using dictator Saddam Hussein’s image to sell their spicy wings.

I know Chinese people are famous for eating everything, but food with Saddam’s face on it really takes the biscuit!

Diet Water

Haha this is so funny, people would buy anything nowadays, made by Sapparo (famous for alcohol!).

I guess saving calories by drinking diet water is important!

Pocari Sweat

Seen this li’ beauty in Japan and see now it’s on Hong Kong.

It claims to have “Ion Supplies”, which is always useful. I can’t describe in words how it tastes, so I’ve used illustrations.

Before I tried it, I thought it would taste of:

Now I know it tastes like:

Wee Cream biscuit anyone?

Giles Dawe — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 03:42:22 +0000

Got given this tasty snack on the flight over from China to HK.

I never tried it as the name put me off – what does creamy wee taste like?

Chinese Prayer Beads Drink

Giles Dawe — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 03:34:38 +0000

The drink itself tasted quite bland.

I couldn’t taste those “Chinese Prayer Beads”.

Wanko

Wanko is pretty famous in Hong Kong, it’s a well known clothes shop aimed at the Business Woman.

I thought maybe the Brits reading this site might find it funny as the word means something different over there.

Euronate

Took a quick snapshot whilst in a taxi.

A Tile Company in HK called Euronate.

Found in a Shanghai taxi, no dumping and no psycho’s please.

Giles Dawe — Sun, 03 Oct 2004 16:58:06 +0000

Not really a Engrish but found in HK, where the Breakfast Special includes unlimited Bloody Mary’s – wow!

Chalie Chalie

Giles Dawe — Sun, 03 Oct 2004 16:52:13 +0000

A clothes shop in China, looks to be Charlie Chaplin.

Black Wind

Giles Dawe — Thu, 20 May 2004 04:31:02 +0000

Found on a biscuit.

A Friend

Giles Dawe — Thu, 20 May 2004 04:26:30 +0000

Found on a T-shirt, it reads “on endless stream at humans, escaee from here”

GOD

Giles Dawe — Sat, 01 May 2004 03:21:25 +0000

There’s a few stores in Hong Kong called GOD, so they must be good then!

Stink Proof

Giles Dawe — Fri, 16 Apr 2004 06:17:34 +0000

Maybe it’s nothing but these Chinese socks label themselves as being “Stink Proof”.
