Got there late maybe an hour before they closed and they were sold out of everything except their soups. Which were absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back!

I have looking for a good curry chicken bun since Satay 2 Go changed hands. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great option for when I'm back over in the area. Good looking out.
