• Sweet people, diverse menu, Suma Ching Hai on TV

My taxi driver couldn't find the place, but one of the kind staff members of Loving Hut came out (in the rain!) to find my cab and bring me back to the restaurant. ("Going the extra mile" - almost literally.) If you're familiar with other restaurants run by followers of Supreme Master Ching Hai, you'll probably find Loving Hut to be similar. With such a huge menu, the food is bound to be hit-and-miss for any given person's taste, and such was the case with my meal. I dug the dumplings, but not so much the "eel" (fried mushrooms and chilis - very oily, more saturating than satisfying). There's no dessert per se, but they did offer something called "pumpkin pie" that, while bearing no resemblance to the dessert that goes by the same name in the English-speaking world, was tasty and vaguely sweet. My carrot juice was thick with pulp (not especially juicy, as far as juices go), so i was glad that they also provided a pleasant complimentary house tea.
