Summary
| Description |
English: A menu on the wall in Lin Heung Kui written with ink brush. The prices are in Suzhou numerals. A staff member of the restaurant interviewed by Oriental Daily News explained that with ink brush, it is easier and more beautiful to write in Suzhou numerals than in Arabic numerals, as the latter are too cursive, so in the old days, Suzhou numerals had been a must for Chinese restaurants.
