Not bad. Although the chicken breast curry I think was better for the price. It's just off of Heping Dong lu, at Wenzhou Street. Both the Indian Halal place and the Thai Halal place are next to each other. The thai place I remember being quite good with proper flavors. Neither of them dumb down their flavors for Taiwanese Nick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321329750397667796.post-53534509006674094712012-03-22T18:36:40.005+08:002012-03-22T18:36:40.005+08:00Jenna,

I never could understand why some people dissed Taiwan's food so much.

I know they must be around because there's that mosque, but I was unaware of one on Heping itself.
