So this explains the phenomenon of chinese restuarants with the regular take-out-style menu of food, and the ulta-super-secret chinese food menu for all the cool people. “Can I have…THE menu? [wink wink, nudge nudge]”

I like how you present these types of Chinese wordings. Although sometimes it all seems too confusing (even for the native speakers!?), it’s interesting that the language has these kinds of distinctions.
