If is was called 'East Dulwich Thai' would anyone say "that's a strange name for a Thai restaurant East Dulwich isn't in Thailand, its in England.#Pedants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have been to both Indonesia and Thailand, and in my experience there was no crossover of food whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 :))Come to think of it I've been to Malaysia as well.Don't remember the food there being anything like Thai food, either.There is an area of Sumatra, whose name I can't remember offhand, where the food was very hot, but still not in a Thai way.

I was just editing my post above when I had to answer the door, and I hadn't seen your post when I posted the edit. What regions/islands do you think have a Thai/Indonesian/Malaysian crossover in their cuisine?ETA: I can't be bothered googling but I'm sure you can find something :))ETA: In any case, I thought you had now decided that calling the restaurant Lombok had nothing to do with its cuisine?Though why in that case you would choose that name, who knows?

malumbu Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I've been to Oaxaca, phonetically Wahaca. Next to Vera Cruise who used to be in Corrie.Perhaps we can have a thread on the misspelling of the Mexican restaurant chain.I've also been to Flores, Sumbawa, Bali and wait for it, Lombok. And the restaurant, which was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
