The Crispy fried chicken meals was mind blowing. It's crunchy and savory whilst also only giving out clean pieces of chicken. No nasty fatty bits. The rice and red curry worked together like prime Kobe and Shaq. Just a slam dunk meal. The surprise winner was the pink milk (which I believe to be bubblegum flavored) it worked really well to quench the sweet heat that you get from the chicken and curry. The little table and chairs were cute and supplied lots of space for other hungry shoppers.
The Mixed Steamed and Roasted Chicken was delicious. The cashier was polite and friendly. The restaurant was spacious with lots of seats and tables. For $10.5, this is a great deal. Recommended!
