People are just eating up this restaurant’s hilariously honest menu
the poke - 1 month ago
We’re so used to the concept of a menu going out of its way to make the dishes sound as good as possible, that we’re a little taken aback by the approach of Feigang Fei, who runs Montreal’s Cuisine AuntDai Chinese restaurant.
The brutally honest, and consequently hilarious, menu descriptions came to the attention of the wider public when loyal AuntDai customer, Kim Belair shared some favourite examples on Twitter.
Aunt Dai is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Montreal, but the REAL treat is the menu, featuring extremely honest commentary from the owner. pic.twitter.com/FpA1xt0GrF
I now must eat here at some point in my life. Like I will get a passport, wait for Covid to be contained, exchange my US dollars for Canadian currency and make a trip to try this charming place
