Example Of The Kind Of Restaurant Review We'll Never See In Thailand!

[Jingthing]

Darned funny as well!

Really, it's classic.

Why is one of the few things on your menu that can be eaten without fear or regret — a lunch-only sandwich of chopped soy-glazed pork with coleslaw and cucumbers — called a Roasted Pork Bahn Mi, when it resembles that item about as much as you resemble Emily Dickinson?

...

Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?

...

When you hung that sign by the entrance that says, WELCOME TO FLAVOR TOWN!, were you just messing with our heads?

The point being for those who don't get it is that in Thailand, you cannot publish blatantly critical restaurant reviews, even when well deserved. See what we're missing!

Well the reviewer does ask a lot of questions.

Perhaps that is the way to offer a critical review in Thailand.

You bring up an interesting point. Perhaps that could work and still stay within the strict bounds of Thai law and culture.

For examples:

How long did it take you to train your waiters to simultaneously pick their noses, play games on their mobiles, and take customer orders? Impressive!

What brand of sugar was it that you served a bucket of on your green curry?

Were you high on yaba when you erected your sign: Best Pizza in Thailand? (Hmm. Maybe not.)

Could be fun!

It seems more than reasonable that you could ask a series of questions

Not sure how anyone would want to read past the first couple of lines. What a load of ...................!

Good review!

By the way, I do sometimes read some quite scathing restaurant reviews in BK Magazine. Not to the same extent as the op though of course.

the "chefs" justification.

he maintains that the review was off the mark and that it was unfair to post the review in the second month of operation.

he flew across the country overnight to do damage control.

havent tasted the food, but after watching this i suspect the reviewer was being kind

Where can you buy Donkey Sauce in Thailand?

i hear buffalo sauce is a viable substituion, but it is a little more difficult to make
