Right - the wonders of the internet.That was the Okha - I'm not sure of the finer points of the difference between Sakura and Okha...

I found this:-
桜花 (ouka) - cherry blossoms
花 (hana) - flower/bloom/blossom
桜 (sakura) - cherry tree, cherry blossoms
in Japanese, characters have more than one reading. Sakura is the Japanese reading of the 桜 character, ou is the Chinese reading, hana is the Japanese reading of 花, ka is the Chinese reading. Chinese readings are usually used in compounds, like 桜花
- which doesn't really get us much further..
I wonder if Okha/Ouka refers more to the falling petals and Sakura to the blossom on the tree?
I'm supposed to be going to Scilly in Saturday. Today the ferry had to turn round after it's engines failed. Not sure they'll let me take 8 bags of camping gear on a tiny plane.

Was looking at Siam Orchid online yesterday. There's a Chinese just up the road that gets decent reviews too. Mrs T not a great fan of Thai food.The Siam Orchid Thai restaurant in the middle of Andover is really good as is the Nepalese nearby.
Probably worth booking a table at the Thai if you're interested because it's only a small restaurant and they do a buffet where they cook each dish individually but you can have as much as you want so people do to stay longer.
I couldn't possibly comment on what's good in Amsterdam though
