i too have just returned there after very long absence, and have returned 3 times in the past 2 weeks....

simple ...the food here is very good!

chicken rice - best i have had in oz

laksa - excellent, chock full of seafood. noodles al dente when bowl arrived, cooked thru after sitting awhile.

curries - authentic pastes used as you pick out bits of base ingredients.

in our fast paced world of chasing the latest/newest/trendiest.... i am so enamored by this establishment atm.

any place that you enter thru the kitchen cant be half bad in my books!

cheers
