with entrees like Europe Style Curry Pork (NT$190/290),
and a "Japanese-style Curry Pot" section with
Curry Pork, Beef Fondue (NT$240/340) and other dishes
like snacks. The tasteful decor includes Indian handicrafts
and a dark-blue canopy hanging from the ceiling, giving
it a tent-like feel. --By Douglas Habecker, translated
