Never order an apple in a restaurant anywhere but especially in China. 🍎苹果 (píng guǒ) does mean apple but look at the tones. First rising on the píng then a falling - rising on the second.
Screw up the second and use the wrong tone you could insult the chef. 平锅 (píng guō) means "pan" and you are implying you are better than they are. Don't forget. They are armed and dangerous.
