鹿鼎记饭厅 (short sharp choke)

A short stroll down the Chinatown square in search of the named brand mooncake led me to this restruant classy named 鹿鼎记饭厅, which blend pretty well with its x记 & y记 neighbors.

And gilded for all to see is a keen translation:
THE SEVEN WIVES RESTURANT.

我好奇的问，那么这家餐馆人可多？

With inappropriate sense of humour, I would wonder if they serve 7 wives on the menu or if clients are only allowed to enter when escorted by 7 wives?

Unfortunately, I walked by at 3pm.

Might go again to check if they serve 7 wives on the menu.
Lord knows I could use a few.

what exactly is the chinese version of the name? 7 wifes? literally?

The Chinese name is 鹿鼎记., gilded in gold.

I was just commenting to someone the English name better not be Deer in Wok, when I see

that the owner has truely read the book.

come to think of it, what is the english title of that book anyway, a tale of deer and wok?

Last time I heard, someone really WAS working on a translation. Not sure if he has completed it. The title is The Deer Cauldron.
