CRU's been around for a while. I went a few years ago and they were pretty good.
one of my friends didn't like it for some reason and I think that's why I haven't been back for such a long time.

sadly most of the "have heart" restaurants that I like are GONE...
Most of those owners are the chef as well.
I guess those chefs have too much heart and not a enough business mind set.
So they are all gone... to name a few, the OLD FigMint (don't go now! It's not the same), Chow, Bis Moreno, old gastropod, ...etc.

hee... any other suggestion, 布小熊?

OMG  螢光!
I think I've seen  螢光 curry once... And I never go back to that restaurant.. (I forgot which one but I think it's gone)

amm... I don't have any restaurant recommendation now. Most of the restaurants I like are very small with limited menu, own (or partly own) by the chef. Usually service isn't the best/fast (not a must for me) and I had problem recommending them to my own friends. So... I guess I don't risk upsetting my fellow lyk here..

o... ACC-HE, if you are feeling adventurous, you can try out "Bo Laksa King". It's a take out place in a convenience store near Joyce sky train station. I've only tried their Laksa once and I liked it. I heard their Roti is good too but I was too full to try anything other than the Laksa. I don't live near there so it's hard for me to find time to go.
I've been cooking more at home lately.
I talked to Bo's wife and she's really nice. I do feel that they have heart to make their little restaurant better.

I really like the soup base, it has the spice and herbs and fragrant. (to be honest, I never care for the meat or ingrediant in my noodle soup... only the soup base and the noodle itself... and bean sprouts!!)
Mrs. Bo told me that Laksa soup base is not really hard to make but most restaurants don't put all the herbs and spices to it because not all customers like them there.
I will ask them to make it "original" spicy next time. (they usually tone down the spiciness)

I acutally felt comfortable eating and chatting with Mrs. Bo last time. My next item to try is their Roti. But I have to bring my Panda with me. (so I can still eat both Laksa and the roti)
