    "ลิ้มรส"

    Friends,

    The following sample sentence comes from the Lexitron definition of ลิ้มรส

    รับประกันได้ว่าฝีมืออาหารร้านนี้เป็นรสชาติที่คุณไม ่เคยได้ลิ้มรสจากที่ใดมาก่อน

    I am having difficulty rendering this sentence into English; the sentence structure seems a bit complex. What do you think of this:

    "You can dine on food skillfully prepared by this restaurant’s chef [and enjoy] flavors you have never before experienced anywhere else."

    Other alternatives are welcome. Thanks.

    Re: "ลิ้มรส"

    Thai-language dot com has a slightly different translation for the sentence here;
    "ลิ้มรส"
    This is what they have for the Thai;
    "I guarantee that the skill used in preparting <sic> food at this restaurant gives it a taste of the sort which you never experienced before anywhere else."

    They also define ลิ้มรส to taste or experience, as does Longdo dot com's dictionary function. English-Thai-dictionary dot com lists ลิ้มรส simply as taste.

    I do think the "I guarantee" part hasta be included because of the term รับประกัน.

    Sorry to use such easily available resources to make my point, I'm sure you checked them too. . .

    P/S; while it is a trivial matter, I already submitted a correction for the word "preparting" to be changed to preparing. ..

    Thank you, Khun Tod. I had misread "รับประกัน" as "รับประทาน". Time for new glasses.

    Davidandbui,

    I think your rendition is perfect.
