English Error

We were at Sushi King tonight. The service was rather slow. We had waited for so long.

While waiting, I read the menu and even this announcement.

It was just right in front of me. Initially, I didn't realize the error. Normally, we would just overlook it.


As I was scrutinizing the items,
I spotted an error somewhere in this announcement.

Well, which error is it?

Not only an error but two or even more!

    Interesting post.....today there are lots of English Grammatical Errors (EGE) everywhere. But they usually say that it is typo. Cheers.

    'Non-alcoholic products' sounds better. The name of the company is also wrong, WTF.

    Luckily company name is correctly spelled. Sushi Kin does own the Sushi King chain and I wonder why the owner register the company without the 'g'.

    Usually we say non-alcoholic or no alcohol added. And yes, should be 'except' instead of 'expect'.

    It is certainly not easy for a Japanese restaurant to be halal if it means that halal = zero alcohol content. Many sauces have sake or mirin added just like in Chinese dishes, rice wine are used in cooking and even in Western food, wine is used to marinade steak.

    Wow! So many mistakes! How come no one bother to check it? Or rather, they didn't realise there were errors! *gasp!*

    1. Pork-free, not pork free
    2. Except, not expect
    3. Sushi King, not Sushi Kin

    Long ago, I worked for Texchem before I went to States. They were not allowed to register the name with the word "King". I think our law now forbids superlative company names like ~ Best, Nicest, Biggest, Highest or even King.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
