Thai’d and tested: Pun-tastic Thai restaurant name breaks Internet (video)

A woman travelling in Sweden was left in stitches after discovering a Thai restaurant with a side-splitting name, sparking curiosity among many who are now desperate to try it out.

Ema, a 29 year old traveller who shares her adventures online as @emaonthemove, recently posted a clip of a takeaway in her new hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden. The spot? Thai Tanic — a pun on the infamous Titanic. The 1912 ship disaster, which claimed over 1,500 lives, is famously remembered through the 1997 blockbuster starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. But this eatery’s cheeky twist on the name had people laughing instead of crying.

In her video, which racked up more than 39,000 likes, Ema filmed the storefront while playing a flute version of “My Heart Will Go On” in the background. She declared it the best restaurant name she’s come across, admitting she wasn’t sure about the food but gave it “10/10 for originality.”

TikTok users quickly joined in on the joke.

One commented, “It’s good. They have Iceberg lettuce in!” Another praised, “That is genius,” while someone else proudly added, “We have one in Belfast too!” The comments section became flooded with people eager to try the food just for the name, reported The Mirror UK.

In related news, if you want to know what three generations of restaurant experience taste like, drop into Canberra’s brand-new Thai takeaway shop, Tuckshop Tamada. Co-owner Nat Yota stated that her family has been in the food business for a very long time.

Tuckshop Tamada’s concept is grab-and-go: good quality, quick food at a reasonable price. Only two menu items exceed 15 Australian dollars (approximately 360 baht), while 10 Aussie dollars will get you five enoki mushroom cakes, three satay sticks, or three pork and prawn cakes.

In other news, two foreign men vandalised a local restaurant in Phuket early Monday morning, September 30, shattering glass windows and causing distress among staff and nearby residents. The incidents occurred at the Birds Cafe Restaurant in Soi OrBorTor, Cherng Talay, and prompted a police investigation.
