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.

    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated. 
    • Hi, I’m looking for a small garden table and 2 chairs used but in good condition, ideally one you’d like to get rid of 😊 Chairs need to be sturdy so that she can sit on these safely!  Thanks in advance for her!
    • Is what true? That the student units part of this development that hasn't yet been built is going to fall vacant because there's such a collapse in the number of students in London that they can't rent the units out, and then the Labour government is going to appropriate them to house them asylum seekers? Is that what you're asking is true?
