    I’m trying to work out whether this is an attack of truth in advertising, or whether in fact Babelfish was doused in weird on this occasion.

  2. Doug says:

    Is that the kind of sauce that turns you into a Prawn?

  3. Someone says:

    Their weird sauce is brown and smelly, I wonder what it is?

  4. Sinatra says:

    Is that a fish head made of curry, or a fish head stuffed with curry?

    And that sauce is somehow so odd, even they don’t know what it is.

  5. kevin says:

    It’s a real dish. Literally a large fish head cooked in sour curry.

  6. fpage77 says:

    Homer: Hmmmm, weird sauce.

  7. Jason says:

    those praws arent in weird sauce, its just the stuff they use at the pee pee bakery!

  8. Ai Nan says:

    Prawns in weird sauce… o_0

  10. powermuffin says:

    I’ll give ya some weird sauce!

  11. notanengineer says:

    “I’d like to have a Curry Fish Head cause the other stuff a lá carte is too weird and the cheek muscles are said to be the best parts of fish.” :-)

  12. Berserkas says:

    Prawns in weird sauce… I laughed my ass off. It’s way more hilarious than the fish head, because it leaves so many possibilities opeen…. Like, when i saw the fish head, i was like “Meh, i wouldn’t eat that.” But prawns = priceless.

  13. UpTheYingYang says:

    Pawns in weird sauce and to wash it down some Strange Brew..

  14. Meowth says:

    I’ll try the Prawns in Weird Sauce. What’s the worst that could happen?

    • JohnB says:

      It all depends on how broad a category “weird” is.

      • Meowth says:

        I vote for “Unusual.”

        • JohnB says:

          Spoken like someone who has not really encountered weird.

          • Meowth says:

            I am weird! Besides, I have encountered Weird. Weird Al himself once told me he liked my Cosplay!

            • dr handle says:

              You do cosplay? I’m sorry about this, but if you’re over ten years old, I’m afraid I am going to have to strangle you.

              • JohnB says:

                Sorry, but I believe there are dimensions of weird that few mortals have ever encountered, and the ones that I did not personally attain myself I have managed to visit as part of my professional life. If you pick “unusual” as a synonym for “weird,” you obviously have not watched a grown man in an obvious state of arousal licking the tires of a state trooper’s car. Or helped a man rid his apartment of “the slime” by chanting into a horn-shaped piece of tin foil. Or avoided getting killed by talking for ninety minutes with a man about sexual exploits that were (I hope!) probably largely imaginary, although his claims to be armed to the teeth proved to be quite real, when law enforcement finally arrived. Or talked to the guy who drove his car through the front window of the supermarket because his mother told him he had to have a banana every day, and he got to the store just after closing. Or conducted a clinical interview with a naked woman in the back of a deputy’s car who thought she was at a prayer meeting. Or tried to answer an earnest teen’s question as to WHY Spiderman isn’t real. And that’s just the kind of weirdness I encounter daily at work! As to the weirdness of my personal experiences, let us leave that to the imagination for now. Weird Al is merely a wee bit eccentric in my universe. Cosplay is a boring vanilla hobby, unless of course it is merely a starting point for truly bizarre behavior, which it rarely is.

                • blueJade says:

                  Rough today, JohnB? Sit down… take a load off.

                • Meowth says:

                  The Weird Al thing was just a pun on “Encountering Weird” because I have “Encountered” him and his name is “Weird.” Voting for “Unusual” is not listing it as a Synonym for “Weird,” it is just the level of Weird I am requesting. Cosplay is just what I was doing when I “Encountered Weird” Al, and not Weird in the slightest, except that I was Cosplaying “Dare to be Stupid” at the time. Conglaturation, you have just killed the funny, JohnB. Please don’t read so much into it…

              • Meowth says:

                What do you have against Cosplayers? Most people who go to Anime Conventions do it, and the average of attendees is on the rise, and, as far as I know, has always been over ten. Actually, this happened before I even knew the term cosplay. I used to Cosplay as Dare to be Stupid to Weird Al Concerts ever since I sang it in a Talent Show in High School. I haven’t been to a Concert in a few years, though, so it may not even fit me anymore. Now, I Cosplay as a Meowth at almost every Anime Convention in New England. Every one that I can get to, that is… Not just as Meowth, though, it is just that everyone there knows me as the Meowth. It is quite fun, actually.

            • paws4thot says:

              Kewel; any decent shots anywhere?

              The closest I normally go to public cosplay is being in one or 2 episodes of Wobblevision!

              • Meowth says:

                Yes, I have seen pictures of some of my Cosplays all over the Internet. Someone even posted me on 4 Chan once, so I’ve heard. I’d hate to see what they would have said there, though. Hearing about the existence of the post second hand was disturbing enough…

  15. insane says:

    Even the chef thinks the sauce is weird

  16. Iva says:

    Eeek. Perut means dandruff in my language. O_O

  17. laconejita says:

    I think they were trying to say “rare sauce” and because they went with a cheap translation they ended up with “weird sauce”. Now they wonder, how come no one wants to try their one-of-a-kind sauce.

  18. Rockingfreakapotamus says:

    Fish head sauce?

    Just slips down the throat… hmmmm

  19. bluejade says:

    Now I want to try the prawns!

  20. JohnB says:

    It’s funny how they spelled “weird” correctly, when so many of our native English speakers spell it wrong!

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      Yeah, they are victims of “I after e, except after c” rhymes. Sad. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen the spelling “wierd” I’d… okay, I’d be poorer than I am now. But not much poorer.

      I think of the phrase “to dree one’s weird” (live out one’s fate), for some reason. Ill-fated sauce?

  21. An elite says:

    The made weird sauce taste good! Serious, know what you are think after consumption.

  22. DingDong says:

    At least they were honest and called their sauce weird.

  23. ... says:

    there are actually such things as ‘weird’ sauce in some cuisines such as chinese

    yes, it is what they are called, seriously, in their own language

  24. matilda says:

    PERUT IKAN MEANS FISH INTESTINES in malay.
    errkk?? WHO EATS DAT???
    weird indeed.

    • Mark. Gooley says:

      Isn’t that Thai-style fish sauce made largely of fish intestines? The ancient Romans grew to love a similar sauce made largely of fermented and aged fish intestines too: eventually, most people used it on food instead of salt (like the Thai stuff, it was quite salty).

      Okay, I agree, it’s still weird.

  25. whirlabou says:

    Is it weird as in odd, funny or in the old meaning, destiny? If so, it’s could be fatal to eat it!

  26. catgirl says:

    I suppose prawns in weird sauce would be better than pr0ns in weird sauce?

  27. afiq93 says:

    Guys, this menu is mostly in Malaysian. Being a Malaysian myself, lemme translate it..

    Sayor Paku: Nail (the hammer nail!) Vegetables? They used the wrong word! It should be ‘Sayur Paku Pakis’ (a type of fern-like herb)

    Perut Ikan: Fish Stomach/Guts/Intestines. Belch!

  28. SigSauer says:

    See, the aliens from District 9 can be eaten.

  29. tehexile says:

    fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, YUM!

  30. moxmox says:

    Think they ever wonder why no one ever orders a #13?

  31. andy says:

    Curry Fish Head is exactly what it says. The front end of a fish, (as well as a lot of the meaty area behind the head) in a big claypot full of curry sauce. It happens to be fantastic. Must try if you visit Singapore or Malaysia.

    As for prawns in weird sauce… this too is a not inaccurate description :-)
