Pictures as Menus

Was just eating at my regular chicken rice restaurant (probably the best place to have chicken rice. "Formal review" sometime later), and noticed that there wasn't a menu in sight.

Instead, they have pictures of their food up on the wall.


The only menu they had was for the drinks.

If you'd like to order a dish, but don't know what it's called, you can always salvage the situation by going "this one" or "that one" while pointing to a picture.

While I think visual aids are most certainly useful in ordering food, what do you think about this "picture menu"?
