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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
