Chinese Restaurant font

I am looking for the kind of font that one might find in a Chinese Restaurant menu or signage. Any tips appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee

One word though: C-L-I-C-H-É.

( You may want to consider some nice brushed scripts, as an alternate, maybe.
Ala SudTipos, or TypeSETit. )

Dav:

Thanks man. Yes, I appreciate the cliche, but I am trying to recreate some existing signage, so I am merely paying homage to someone else's cliche . . . Thanks again.

If you are recreating existing signage you may want to post a sample image / photo of these signs, maybe someone on Typophile would be able to match / ID the previous typeface?

Mandarin is a classic in this category, but Solotype's Buddha has at least got lower-case characters.
