We decided to put this little place in the Robson Public Market to the test last night. We’ve been walking by it over and over, doing the same old, “We should try that place sometime.” It took us forever to just think about setting foot into the market, and I have since become a huge fan of their fruit selections. They have a much better variety, it’s a little cheaper, and the grocery stores around the west end of Vancouver kinda suck in comparison.
Anyway, the best curry in the world? That’s tough to say because I haven’t traveled around the world enough to sample everything there is to sample, but for the money, we had a lot of curry last night.
Mui Garden Delight is a tad on the pricey side, compared to some of the other places you can grab a bite to eat at the Robson Market, but it’s worth the price. Having the beef and vegetable specials last night that were $6 a piece, it was more of a task rather than a meal. It wasn’t too hot, and the spice was comfortable to the pallet. The taste, on the other hand, was outstanding. Even with the $6 special ending with this month, they will probably see us again.
Anytime you give me something with lots of rice, a great curry sauce to pour over it, and a nice portion of meat or chicken on top, I’m a very happy person. Even the next morning, I’m thinking about that beef curry I had last night. Holy crap.
Can’t be as good as my Tai-Tai’s!

If it ain’t hot…it ain’t curry. It’s just technicolor gravy. You gotta have chili’s and you gotta have sweat dripping off your brow. Good curry will be so spicy that you can’t eat it…but, yet, you keep eating it because its so damn good. Tai-Tai can do this.
Favorite curry for me is Malaysia Beef Rendang. Killer dry curry and perfect for breakfast (see Nasi Lemak).
