    After noticing some guy ordering slices of sausage on a hot dog bun, I was quite curious as to what it was. I didn't quite find out, but on the menu, I saw Curry Chicken and Rice ($5.00), which I was in the mood for. I watched as the man prepared a couple scoops of rice, some salad, and a ladle used to take the curry chicken out from some soupy concoction. Interesting enough I rushed back to the office to dig in.

    Inside the plastic bag, was a plastic fork, spoon, and wad of napkins. The spoon was interesting and I wasn't quite sure why he had given me one until I opened up my Styrofoam tray. The tray was divided into 3 sections: salad, chicken, and rice. Because of all the space the 3 sections took, portions were a bit less than usual. The salad consisted of chopped lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sliced raw carrots sitting in a pool of some type of ever-so-slightly creamy but vinaigrette-based sauce. Salad was fresh, and the vinaigrette was definitely a fresh take on the typical boring salads that every other street cart tends to do. The chicken also sat in its own section of the tray, doused in a pool of sauce which consisted mostly of oil (grease). Yuck! Besides the grease, the chicken was very tender and juicy. The curry chicken would just break apart as I dug my fork into it, and I almost did not have to even bite into it, as it broke apart in my mouth, which I'm attributing to the chicken being stewed for several hours to get so soft. The spices on the chicken were subtle but amped up the flavor a bit, but I would have preferred for it to be more noticaeble. The yellow rice was the biggest disappointment to this dish, as it was a bit mushy and bland.

    The white sauce was fashioned more towards a mayo consistency, was tasty but the hot sauce was on the opposite end of the spectrum. The hot sauce was in liquid form, similar to Red Devil or Tobasco sauce, but with hardly any heat. I think I could have drowned my chicken and rice with it and still would not have noticed any heat to the dish.

    If you're considering this dish, the curry chicken was the biggest highlight of the dish, stewed chicken that would almost melt in your mouth; followed by the vinaigrette sauce on the salad. But besides that, I just found this dish to be way too greasy. By the time I finished, my mouth and face felt greasy, as was the tray which was covered in orange grease. Eeeek.
