Remain clam. I am a licensed Asian-American who has spend 14-years lived all over Asia. Please. Just enjoy.


You might want to stock up on Anusol before doing that.
LETS WAIT FOR JOHNB!!!!!!
And they serve crap. Double win.
They have an open bar inside called Pee. For some reason, serves ‘beer’ only…
You don’t buy beer, you only rent it.
Well, that’s only true of American and Australian lagers!
You can keep proper beer for a while!
Eventually it has to come out. When it does, please pee in this pitcher, the customers are waiting.
*pees in pitcher* Do you want to make a contribution?
They serve a pie that’s the house specialty.
everthing goes better with poo? Oh wait no…that’s bacon, nevermind.
Man, i gotta get that picture where i live of the “New Ho King” restaurant. >:/
If you keep talking about it instead of doing it, someone else will beat you to it!
Noone knows where i live XD
Canada!
Where in Canada? Its a large country, with 30,000,000 people in it!
IIRC there’s about an evens chance it’s Ontario, 1 in 6 of Metro Toronto.
dam. Close, 2 hoursish away. 1 and a half to 2 hours yeah.
No, YOU LIVE IN SPARTA!!
Madness? I FORGOT TO CHANGE MY NAME!!!
Enough with the poo already! I didn’t want it for breakfart, I didn’t want it for lunch at Poo de Poo, I didn’t want to snack on a bag of poo, and I don’t want to have dinner here, either! What’s with all the crappy restaurants? Where does the dog sh!t come from?
Maybe the crab took the S, H, A and M. Wait, that wouldn’t make sense either…
So you’re saying that the crab is a sham?
No, the poo is a sham. The crab is in crabcakes, so we KNOW it’s a sham!
In fact, I think I’ve just figured this out. They have a sham poo that is made for taking care of crabs.
The crab is a lie?
If it is a cake.
Well, clearly this is a more downscale place than Poo de Poo. Instead of the creme de la creme, so to speak, of poo, they just serve plain old poo. Don’t expect those fancy garnishes and careful presentation that make poo SO much more than everyday crap.
So I bet they don’t use organic poo at this place.
I blame google for the discovery of another crappy restaurant
Google should be wiping out these places.
With toilet paper I presume.
No, with itself.
Yet another sign of the aPoocralypse.
holy crap thats the worst pun i’ve ever seen!
*Clonk*. That’s all I can say to that one, just *clonk*. Visit the rest room before you toddle off to Dreadful Pun Hell.
It’s even more dreadful since in neither the word “poo” nor in “apocalypse” is there an “r.” Therefore that pun is not only dreadful, it’s apoocryphal.
Well, if you cast your mind back to Eurovision a few years ago, Lordi gave us the Arockalypse, which will take place on the Eve of Rockening, so there is a precedent.
I’ll order the crapcakes…I mean crabcakes!
I’ll have the horseshoe crap cakes. Or maybe the Hot and Fragrant crap. Or maybe I’ll just have some bottled water.
But the Craps Soup is highly recommended by the chef.
He had posted the menu here….

Heh. Link to the page didn’t work.
link fail.
Paper or Plastic?
Wonder can I get leftovers in a “doggybag” :/
I don’t know don’t you think that would make you look ‘trashy’
It’s a funny coincidence that so many Thai places that serve crab (puu, or poo, is the Thai word for ‘crab’) wind up spelling it as ‘crap’ on their Engrish menus.
Well, Thai phonology could have a small influence over the fundamental problem of just not being able to spell it–as you no doubt know, there are no final voiced sounds in Thai, so ‘p’ or ‘ph’ (พ, etc.) and ‘b’ (บ) are pronounced exactly the same at the end of a syllable.
well, although they are silly sometimes about english spelling, but at least they know english. and english is their second language.
how about you, so you know thai? if you know, can you spelling every thai word correctly?
or do you have any other second language that you know?
if yes, do you spell every word correctly?
even you own language, english. can you spell every word correctly?
think about it before you insult someone nationally, it doesn’t make you look so funny or so clever.
anyway, i’m an american who has a thai wife, and her english spelling is better than me.
Well, now we know what he did after Earthbound.
The hospital turned into a restaurant.
(hope someone will get it)
Quite right Daniel. And since there is a soft B and and strong B in Thai alphabet and pronunciation – the latter approximating to half way between B and P – then they spell crab as crap to indicate that a strong consonant ends the word.
I really should carry my camera around. Thailand is replete with Engrish.
You see that button marked “reply?” USE IT TO REPLY TO PEOPLE!
Actually, at the end of a syllable, any of Thai’s three bilabial plosive sounds (p, ph, b) are pronounced the same, so I think the commenter above is right that they’re not trying to indicate a specific difference with the misspelling. They’re all pronounced the same and the signmakers simply don’t know which to use.
Oooh! I love it when you talk dirty!
This is in Sukhothai, Thailand!!!!
I don’t know much of the Thai language, but I do know Poo is the word for Crab. They also the word “crap” that I think makes things polite. I’m sure there is some way to say something polite about a crab that would just be hilarious, and it’s a damn shame I don’t know enough Thai to tell you what t is.
It is a common mistake for Thais. The word for crab is bpoo… they have a bp sound that we don’t. Sometimes heard more as a b sometimes more as a p.
When I first moved over I met a girl. Asked her name she said “Poo”. I snickered and asked what it meant. She said “crap”. I thought to myself… well it’s the same over here I guess
