Balls of asia...I just can't look away...

Title: Balls of Asia menu

First there's good quality menus. Then there's okay designs. Followed by poor choices in color, typeface, sizing, space usage or all of the above.

Then there's Balls of Asia. ...Dear God in heaven what am I looking at?

Um, the red is big in effect here. Almost too red. So bright that it seems to match the color of certain foods. Next is the format. Everything is in parallel columns with tacky spike typeface to name each dish and a number in the opposite corner. What is the purpose for that? Why didn't the artists use space much more effectively to allow room to add descriptions to the dishes displayed?  Why is it called "Balls of Asia"? Reference to the ball shapes of some of these dishes? Or something else? I hope its not the something else.

This takes the cake for bad menu design. It's the king of crud. It's...Balls of Asia.
