| - I originally came here because I wanted to order from Pho Tai Loi (based on favourable reviews), but by 6pm on a Monday evening, it was closed. Arigato & Lemongrass were also both closed. Perhaps they're just closed on Mondays, I dunno.
Anyway, being an indecisive mood, this place was a bit of a nightmare for me based on the stalls that were opened. Other than the Chinese BBQ place, the offerings consisted of Fried Rice, Various Fried Noodle Dishes, Pork Chop of Rice, Fried Fish with Sweet Corn Sauce, etc. etc. Basically quick stir fried meals that can be served within a few minutes.
I just decided on a stall based on the lady who hawk me in order to set her stall apart from the others. I asked her how the Pad Thai was, she said, "Good". I could tell by the colour that it was far from authentic. It was edible, but no tamarind, no wedge of lime, no lemongrass. Just some pho noodles with 2 shrimp, slices of either pork &/or chicken, bean sprouts in a sweet & tangy sauce.
Friend's Chilli Chicken was better, but heavy on the rice, light on the protein. More garlicky than chilli. Both dishes were ~$7 and portions do come in that large rectangular styro container. And I'm pretty sure both dishes were chalk full of MSG, but again, what do I expect?
Lady at Honey Pepper grabbed food from the Yogi Noodle stall. So I'm thinking their both run by the same owner.
