In the end, B and I respectively went for Marathon Chicken with a spice level of 2 and coconut soup base; and Vegetarian Bear with a spice level of 3 and tomato soup base.

Not a lot of difference in the contents between the 2 except that the chicken curry has some pieces of chicken thigh in it, errrr for 10 bucks more the chicken choice seems a good deal? Ha.

Spiciness between level 2 and 3 is basically undefinable, so why the hassle?

The interesting bit is the soup. Coconut is coconuty alright but its sour tasting too?! Tomato can't taste and see and tomatoes in it?!

I also don't like the idea of eating rice off a really shallow plate, and more so when the plate has bumpy pattern on it. Every scratching sound inevitably made when scooping the rice out from the dish made me cringe.

We have also ordered on the side 2 flower teas which have not given us the tastes they supposed to offer ie lemongrass and rose.
