Arrogant staff - Edit
Normally I get my Indian fix on the HK side but Smrat seemed quite popular that I made an effort to try it for vegetarian food.
Read moreAs well as Smart, there is Saravanaa Bhavan which is also quite good.
I was excited that there was curd rice (yoghurt rice) on the menu which I have tried in Central.
It is a lovely soothing and cooling rice mixed in yoghurt which goes well with fiery curries.
Anyway, when I ordered it, she advised I wouldn't like it, but dur I was ordering it because I have already tried had it before.
Ordered the peas with rice which turned out like Chinese fried rice except it was laced with spices like cardamon and some others.
Also had the gobi masala which was in a tangy tomato sauce, adding lemon juice made it even better because I love lemon.
I planned to try more but the attitude was just weird and I didn't feel like wasting money on ordering more items when I can get better Indian fare on the HK side.
DO REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR BILL BECAUSE THE LASSI WAS CHARGED MORE THAN THE MENU AND WHEN I ASKED, SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING UNTIL I SAID I SAW IT ON THE MENU AND THEN SHE SAID, OH THE OTHER MENU!!
Felt sorry for the other couple at the back because the TV was above them and they turned the volume right up but they turned it down after they complained.

not bad - Edit
Ate here twice, first time a normal portion with quite some flavour, second time a bigger portion with quite some salt. Still, pretty good.

Smrat Pure Veg - Hung Hom, Hong Kong - Edit
Despite having had negative experiences at the 2 Smrats in Chungking Mansions my visit to the Hung Hom branch was enjoyable. The waitress came across as knowledgeable and efficient in her knowledge of which dishes did and didn't contain milk products. The 55 buck set deal was decent value and even came to 50 hkd when I declined the soft drink to instead opt for jugged water. When I left a 5 buck tip (coming to a total of 55 bucks) the waitress initially thought I hadn't grasped the 5 hkd discount for not having had the soft drink. She was quite persistent in getting me to take the 5 bucks. She of course smiled when I finally got it through the 5 bucks for a tip for her.
