Today’s English-friendly spot is Botanen, one of the most popular Chinese restaurants in all of Sasebo. Botanen offers almost every Chinese dish that you can think of. There are noodles, fried rice, dim sun, meat and seafood dishes, and more. Everything in the menu is delicious, reasonable, with large size portions! This is the reason that it has been beloved by foodie taxi drivers, business people, and American Naval personal.
“Katu Ankake Chahan”, a fried rice dish is huge, weighing almost 1 kg, or, 2.2 pounds for only 980 yen. It’s a delicious combination of curry flavored sauce, crunchy pork cutlet and Chinese artisan fried rice. Originally, the menu was only for hungry employees, but these days it has turned out to be one of the most reasonable and filling dishes of this shop. Just add oyster sauce, so that you can try a different taste on one dish.

今日の表現は、カツあんかけチャーハンです。美味しそうすぎる！！
【今日の表現】
“カツあんかけチャーハン”は、牡丹園店主のオリジナルメニューなので、“Katsu Ankake Chahan” としました。説明としては、fried rice topped with pork cutlet and starchy (thick) sauce (トンカツとあんかけソースがかかったチャーハン）です。 starchy は“デンプン質の（でとろみを付けた）”の意味。メニューの英訳はケースバイケースですが、“お店での呼び名＋説明書き” で表記すると、外国人と店スタッフとのコミュニケーションが取りやすくなりますよね。
