"Do You Like
to Have More Pork?"
-- Asks the Pig
Have you ever
imagined that you enjoy your grilled
steaks in a restaurant then you turn your
head and see a cow standing next to you?
"Like to have more steaks?" the
cow inquires.
You must think it’s
a sick joke.
Piggies waited at
Pigpen
But that is what
a patron would experience at a Chinese
restaurant in Daduhe, just the meat in
your plate is pork and the one standing
next to you is a pig, well, to be more
precise, a waiter wearing a pig mask. Of
course, it’s not an ordinary pig, but
the famous Pig in the Chinese classic The
Journey to the West. But still, it’s
a pig nonetheless.
The restaurant
specialized in pork-meat steamboat is
called Pigpen, and the boss accordingly
ordered his 30 waiters and waitresses to
serve the pork to customers in a pig’s
capacity.
Wonder when
customers are reminded what they’re
chewing is part of a creature that used
to be as full of life as themselves, how
many might lose their appetite. (Source
