Mountain Germ King
Sometimes you get to see strange signs in China. Here’s a restaurant sign I saw in Sichuan province a couple of months ago:
The English bit on top says “Mountain Germ King’s Girlie Restaurant”. In particular, I was put off by he “girlie” part of the name - does it means that the staff is girlie? Or that it’s meant for “girlie” customers? I’ve eaten there and I didn’t see any girlies offered as dishes, but maybe you have to especially ask for them.
I haven’t seen any evidence of mountain germs either; perhaps they come with the girlies….
