Xiang Man Cheng /Xiang Man Cheng (Fragrance Full Of The Town )

实际上品牌名汉译英多数情况均采用音义,除非中文的发音与有消极、负面意义的英文单词发音接近。
如果不采用音义,翻译宜遵循以下原则:忠实、简洁、可接受性、易发音、易记忆。
比较而言,我觉得虽然Xiang Man Cheng 对于native speaker来说,不太好发音,但如果硬要做翻译,比如翻译成:Fragrance Full Of The Town (借用一首英文歌的歌名:Fragrance Full Of The Road.), 则太长,违反简洁原则,不像个品牌的名字了。 要不然就音义、翻译结合:Xiang Man Cheng (Fragrance Full Of The Town )
一家之言,仅供参考。

Savory Congee

Savory Congee (rice porridge with preserved egg and mushroom)

If in the context you simply need to explain the recipe (for example, in a menu), you may just use "rice porridge with preserved egg and mushroom".

Please note that if the target market is the U.S., most American people do not readily recognize "congee/conjee" (which derives from the Tamil word "kanji"). "Rice porridge" will make sense to them instead.
