They are at it again. Pizza Hut are now promoting this for the upcoming Chinese New Year (February 16th sees in the Year of the Dog).

This monstrosity is shaped like a traditional Chinese coin,  a symbol of prosperity, the main wish expressed in New Year  greetings. It must be all that communism. Most of the text is about money rather than food. They want your money and what they sell is only notionally food!

As far as I can make out, it appears to feature abalone, shrimp and broccoli. The Chinese small print is saying that if you want more details, see the in-restaurant menu. No! I am not going in!

 

88元 is $14 USD, but has been chosen, not for any economic reason, but because 88 is a very lucky number in Chinese superstition.
