  1. We had lunch there two days ago. Again, my complaint is that they're really toning down the heat. And as Ericandblueboy mentioned, the salt level seems to have increased. The larb gai is a good example. It had virtually no heat and was all salt.

    I hate asking them to crank up the heat - it makes it sound like that's the only reason we non-Thai people go there. But there are some dishes where the heat is really important. *sigh*

    We got dinner there last night, and we have eaten at both the old location and the new. Last night got the curry puffs, panang curry, and the tom yum soup. We didn't notice a huge decrease in the heat but at the same time I have previously ordered the floating market noodle soup and couldn't eat it because it was too hot (I am more sensitive to severe heat so I generally stay away from the 3 pepper dishes, two is my limit!) but the tom yum and curry were at a heat levels I remembered.

    Possibly they are reducing the heat amount of the FMNS because they are serving so many more people. When I went to pick-up our food the place was packed, for a Tuesday night I think that is fantastic. But with more people coming in they may be tweaking the heat amount to accomodate more patrons who can't stand such high levels of heat. Just a thought, I know that defeats the whole purpose of having this really traditional Thai food but they can't have lots of people sending food back and earn a profit.

  2. Recently went to newly opened Lotus Cafe in DTSS, and thought it was pretty good. Since my Vietnamese cuisine knowledge isn't very much at all I wanted to know what others thought?

    When we went we tried the summer rolls, combo of grilled, skewered meat (this one was one of my favorites), chicken pho (this broth was FANTASTIC, but again maybe that's cause I haven't had a lot of pho), curry chicken and cashew chicken. We weren't the most daring at ordering but it was our first time there and so stayed safe.

    Has anyone else been? What did you think? Am I alone in being a Lotus Cafe lover?
