I appreciate that Hawkers has different options for people with dietary
restrictions or allergies, said Valerie Taylor. Im a regular there because its typically
hard as a vegetarians finding various items on the menu that I can eat, I was there on
Monday.
I had Curry mashed potatoes, which were creamy and spicy, said Taylor
continued. Also they have Malaysian flatbread called Roti canai which was flaky and
light with an accompanying Curry dipping sauce.
