...main courses are more interesting. Much of the menu is based on the millions of mix-and-match dishes--four types of curries, four kinds of meat, a good dozen vegetable and fruit combos. Watch out for the spice ratings next to each dish; even one pepper may be too much for the weaker-stomached. Bring lots of tissues and ask for water often. We recommend the yellow curry, especially if you like pineapple. Finding pineapple isn't a problem on this menu, however. Take, for instance, the Chicken Tropical, served in a half-pineapple shell and just bursting with...
This is not to say that all the non-do-it-yourself dishes sucked. Besides the Chicken Tropical, there was this one dish, (just can't remember the name..."Trio" something) with a terrific plum sauce on top of pork, chicken, beef, snowpeas, babycorn, and, of course, pineapple.

...Eastern, Japanese and nouveau whatever. The appetizers are on the boring side. You can get them anywhere, except for the hummus and tabouli, which you can get almost anywhere. We got the calamari ($4.95); the batter-to-squid ratio is favorably low, but the dipping sauce--and the overall dish--is dull...
