A tool that can scan and translate Chinese menus, not just the names, but also the ingredients, flavors, cooking methods, and food images, as well as the historical origins such as why it's called "Ants Climbing a Tree". Google Translate is a great tool, but it doesn't provide very detailed explanations for food. So I guess this little tool might be useful for friends who don't understand Chinese food.

Hi Hunters! 👋
Why I built this:
Living in China, I’ve seen many friends struggle when they open a traditional menu. Chinese dish names can be poetic but confusing—"Lion’s Head" isn't made of lions, and "Ants Climbing a Tree" has no insects! This language barrier often keeps people from trying amazing local food.
What this product offers:
It’s a simple, focused tool: Snap a photo, and decode the Chinese menu instantly.
In this current version, I’ve intentionally supported Chinese menus only. My goal is to achieve 100% accuracy in recognition and explanation before expanding. It’s not just about translation; it’s about understanding what’s actually on the plate.
Whether you're an expat or a traveler, I hope this helps you order with confidence and discover the real taste of China beyond just Kung Pao Chicken.
