I suppose someone would think this is a good idea (although certainly no one on this site) 😇

Although I never do it myself due to it being frowned upon in apartment buildings, I do like a bit of grilled food. This is a sign in one of the elevators in my aforementioned apartment building.

 

Among other useful tips and safety advice, it recommends not grilling doors. I heartily agree. Much better long and slowly braised I find. With soy sauce and ginger, of course. And a chilli dip.

 

Why they are giving cooking lessons in elevators baffles me.

 

 

 

The Chinese reads 禁止扒门 (jìn zhǐ bā mén) which means "Grasping the doors forbidden".

Thanks for explaining that! It really does look like the hands are hovering over a couple of grill bars. 🙂

It also advises against scrambling. This I also agree with. The price of eggs these days!

This ad simultaneously amused and baffled me.

 

 

It reads (top right)

 

I ordered fried chicken
A shop that specializes in fried chicken

 

then

 

Orleans Chicken

CALLED A CODFISH BURGER

 

Did I buy some? Don't be ridiculous!

I'm putting this here as I don't want to get off topic in the food forums, but all the conversation about Diamond Crystal salt made me wonder if it's available here, so I searched the largest Chinese national online shopping portal. 

 

The results were very interesting and very salty. Lots of images of rather buxom young ladies in their smaller sisters' bikinis. Nothing I'd want to put in my dinner, though.
