Sound Better
Saturday, February 11, 2006 14:54I’m often overwhelmed by authentic Thai menus when it comes time to order.
It’s not the variety or anything, it’s the pronunciation. I know that waitstaff don’t expect perfect pronunciation from their diners, but I like to make sure they understand me. (And I understand them.) And I certainly don’t want to insult anyone.
I saw a link to this today: the Talking Menu.
Pick a category of dishes (soup, salad, noodles, etc.) and you can hear a woman say that phrase. And there are a lot of them on the list, lots more than I’ve seen at the few Thai places I visit (mostly Rambutan and Leela).

I always thought a great business would be a menu proofreading service. #1 Shrimp with red sace and carrot.
