World of Warcraft, the Restaurant 73

An Anonymous Coward writes "China's online gaming themed service industry appears to be booming, riding China's fascination with online gaming all the way to the top is a Chinese restaurateur with his World of Warcraft inspired eatery." I would recommend the Critter Bites and the Haunted Herring, but would warn against the Carrion Surprise.

    As a Cantonese, I think he's being too simple on his description.

    Cantonese culture starts a bit more than 2000 years ago from the mix of ancient Chinese and people of the southern barbarian country(ies) (å--èS, or "Southern Yue") whose land includes Guangdong and Guangxi of today's China and northern and center part of today's Vietnam.

    Those southern places are all mountains, rivers, forests, etc subtropical landscape. Hence having lots of insects. And those barbarians treat insects as a food source. So any insects that can fill their stomach (and is not harmful, of course) becomes their food, which later become one of Canontese food sources as its culture form.

    So... it's easier for him to say "anything that fills stomach, except human" than trying to describe only living things with "4 legs" and "2 wings". That said, many insects or part of them are materials to make Chinese medicine. So in terms of medicine, then it's not just Cantonese, but likely the whole Chinese cultural circle (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam).

All the simple programs have been written.
