Re: [97attendees] Vegetarian food near venue?

[Ted Lemon <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, everyone, for these suggestions.   I just got here, and wound
up just hunting through the mall.   Pretty discouraging, but there is
a chinese restaurant where I was able to get Ma-po tofu vegetarian
style.   It was very good.   Maybe not what you want to eat every day,
but food is food.

The place is called Rak'n Wok.   You have to go down two levels, and
then it's close to the far end of the food court, on the right.

Warning: the ma-po tofu is not mildly spicy.   It's not insanely spicy
either, but it's definitely got a kick to it.
