First off i have no idea what these people are talking about when they speak of and mean old lady. The lady was extremely nice to me. We even had a few laughs while trying to communicate with abit of a langue barrier. The only down side to it was the low spicy flavor. I have a high tolerance spicy heat. She tried to hook me up a big bowl of wet crushed peppers and more powder. And the white rice was a tad dried out but never the less all other items where great.
