Taste of China I

We've found that the English translations that sometimes accompany Chinese characters on restaurant menus are often incomprehensible or not quite accurate. For instance, the place where we ate at yesterday featured a soup called "example soup." Example of what? I wasn't brave enough to order it.

Sometimes, though, the English descriptions are spot on, almost disconcertingly so. When we order "One-half steamed chicken" we received, quite literally, one-half of a chicken, right down to it's little chicken head (embiggen the picture for more detail). I dare say that the chicken looks a bit displeased. I still don't know if we're supposed to eat the head of if it's just for garnish.
