| - True Food has an interesting concept of including a "superfood" with every dish. I ordered a Penang curry, and I guess the superfood in it was coconut milk? I'm not sure. It comes with three protein choices: chicken, shrimp and tofu. I chose tofu, and was expectantly awaiting my side of brown rice only to see it nowhere in sight when the food arrived. Alas, the brown rice was drowning at the bottom of the bowl, soggy and soaked in curry sauce. That was really disappointing for me, because the idea of rice is so that you can modulate how salty you want each mouthful to be, but because every grain of rice was drenched in milky, creamy curry, that proved to be impossible. The taste is decent, although not quite spicy enough for my tastes, but if you ever order this, be sure to request for your rice on the side. I also ordered some shrimp dumplings, which was probably overcooked as the dumpling skin was gelatinous and gluey.
Service was bright and chirpy, but I guess coming from NYC, everyone else will seem angelic in comparison.
