Howdy,

I suppose "To pronounce it correctly I would have to rip out your tongue"
isn't in the running?

Yeah, better keep it short...less money for signs.

Hi gang.

Last post for today, I promise.

Anyway, my search for an exotic "oriental-like" romantic name for my
restaurant has yielded the following possibilities:

1) Malee - meaning "Jasmine" in Thai. Nothing to do with food, really, but
it happens to mean the same thing in most South Indian languages.

2) Shiok - This is the word used in Singapore for lip-smacking food. Rough
American English equivalent: "Delish!"
(pronounced almost like "shook")
