After spending five minutes trying to decipher the Chinese-only menu on the alley wall outside, I was bailed out by another diner who spoke just enough English to gather that I liked seafood, and who recommended one of that evening's specials, shrimp and crabmeat noodles (Y28). He seemed concerned I understand that I'd be ordering one of the most expensive items at this tranquil little hideaway; I assured him, though not in so many words, that I could stomach the four bucks.
