Not at all Strange.

Indonesia has been influenced by Thai, Malay and Indonesian Cuisine which are all very similar,

The Clue is in the name 'Lombok Thai'

It is a restaurant selling Thai Cuisine .


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.

There are approx 17,500 islands in Indonesia. Have you been to all of them

The food varies considerably across the archipelago.

No obviously not.


Have you?


Of course there are regional variations. 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?

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.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
