I like fried chicken as much as the next guy... but I don't think I've ever been inspired to call it "美丽的". Man, their Web site could use some SERIOUS work. It appears to not have been updated since around the millennium - and it shows. Looks like the Chinglish is actually Singlish, as it's from Singapore. Someone should cane their web designer... seriously. @Flotsam: Was a little lost on the link you sent until I scrolled down far enough and saw you in front of the Chinese fried chicken shack. :-) @Chris: Yeah… in itself 多美丽 isn’t too out there - for a clothing shop, a hair salon, etc. - but for fried chicken?

Here's their <a href='http://www.doandme.com.sg/index.htm' rel="nofollow">website</a>. As far as the Chinese name "多美丽", that's not strange, it just means "How beautiful!". Well, on second thought, maybe that is a strange name for a fried chicken place. Well, I couldn’t really find any clues as to the name, but it’s a pretty blatant KFC knockoff. Here’s their website.
