they changed ownership/management and the review said it's not as good
*shrug* but every restaurant has so good and some bad dishes
same Mall as Loving Hut restaurant close to, McCarthy Mall
otherside of Walmart Mall

This is one of the BEST curries I've ever had. I saw a LOT of Indian (some
of veg folks) eating at this establishment. Indian folks like spicy curry.
They dont' seem to like "bland" Loving Hut.
I went here, cause Loving Hut closes from 3-5:30pm on weekends.

here's how you make this dish vegan
1. ask for no meat, you get tofu puff, they claim NO chicken broth or fish
paste, I made the waitress ask the Chef, but keep asking them about the
soup. They should of known about it. I'm sure I'm not the first person
that asked.
2. sub the egg noodles with rice noodles (fresh wide noodles or thin rice
noodles)
3. tell them how spicy you want it, if you don't say anything, yes, it's
spicy
4. if you don't like it too spicy, also tell them to go easy on the chili
oil, expect some floating on your soup
if you get too much (any spec is too much) just skim it off the top
this is a soupy curry noodle dish, $8.50 they are huge portions with string
beans , egg plant, and tofu puff
I figured out why they don't make smaller portions, They want you to eat
more. bring your own takeout containers, save the soup. You can add more
noodles for another meal.
The curry, is the same DIPPY sauce for their best selling #1 Roti, $2.95
bread, which is not worth it.
Curry Clay pot $10.95 and house fried rice $8.75 is good . I chatted with
the veg Indian folks next to me. If you want to know who's veg,,, just walk
around the tables and see what everyone is ordering.

they have over 32 veg items on their menu and claim that most dishes can be
made veg. They have to get their act together so they won't upset their
Indian Hindu veg customers.
more than l/2 of the customers were Asian Indians, I was super surprised
about that.
So, this is one place you can go with your meat eating co-workers/boss and
relatives.... those are the people you can't blow off.
If you hear of any good restaurants in this area, pls post.
Perry's farm in Fremont closed, that's my favorite place to go
can some pls forward this email to Ed Yadda? he's from SF but he loves this
dish when it was served in now closed Hulu house-veg Singapore restaurant
