So for lunch today we decided to go to the Mexican Post... Little did we know the Mexican Post is no longer there. Instead, popped up a hakka restaurant called royal jasmine. We were there anyways so we thought we'd give it a shot.
First thing about the place that we noticed was that it was pretty much exactly the same as it was before (minus some sombreros and decorations). Guess they kinda just moved in a set up shop asap.
The lunch menu was actually very extensive for their "special". Their lunch menu actually consists of a "bento box" of salad, 2 spring rolls, soup, rice and a "main dish" which was separated in one of the bento box's segments. It was quite interesting because there was an Indian side of the menu, and then a Thai side.
First thing out was a hot and sour soup, which to my surprise was actually pretty good. Wasn't too overpowering on either end, but I did notice a lot of cilantro in it. I overheard someone say "what soup do you have today?", so I can only assume that they switch it up daily. My guess is a corn and egg drop soup.
I ordered the tandoori chicken "meal". Really all the meals are pretty much the same but the "main dish segment" gets filled appropriately. One thing I guess to note... this is not really a place that specializes in either Indian or Thai, it's kinda both. I wasn't really expecting a super authentic tandoori chicken dish but I was actually pleasantly surpised. I wouldn't really call it tandoori chicken, but I'd say it was kinda like a spicy chili chicken (with tandoori flavouring). I guess this is the "hakka" part of it shining through.
Did I mention that the whole lunch was 7.50? Amazing! And if you're a cheap tipper you can probably get away with a ton of food for under 10 dollars! I love it.
Coming back for sure!
