Erin B.
Thank for the extra pumpkin curry! That was such a pleasant surprise!. The amount of spicy was on point, so flavorful and rich. The combination of shrimp curry and egg fried rice adds another layer of flavor. Shrimp curry was packed with shrimp. It was very savor. I will order again next time!

I could feel the effort of homemade food in all three dishes. The food was awesome. So many flavors and textures. I so appreciate the effort of using chopped ginger and garlic for that burst of flavor when one could have substituted with paste. Overall, two words – Thank you :)

Smiling Islander Travels
Cooking has always been my passion, but it took a little bit of travelling around the world to know so. As a cabin crew with an airline, I travelled quite a bit and this fuelled my passion for food.
I was fascinated with the different cuisines associated with different cultures and how it changed across the globe.
I believe the food culture of LA is very diverse & versatile and I want to add a new chapter to my food journey here by sharing my experience of Island Style Cooking.
