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.
中文(香港):蓮香居毛筆字餐牌,花碼標價錢。東方日報報道,酒樓職員稱用毛筆寫阿拉伯數字太多彎,不好看,用花碼才有書法美,故酒樓以前必定用花碼。
