| Ellie Tropical Cuisine
Hey y'all,
anybody know why Ellie Tropical Cuisine at 3779 Sexsmith Rd, Richmond, BC closed down? That place was soooooo dericious and priced decently 
Now I need a place that serves good laksa and hainam chicken in GVRD. Don't say Tropica and Banana Leaf b/c those places are overrated.

Now I need a place that serves good laksa and hainam chicken in GVRD. Don't say Tropica and Banana Leaf b/c those places are overrated. | I was wondering myself there was this tofu they had that was off the hook. There could have been many reasons though from owners being in debt to owner retiring. Who knows?

Hawkers delight has good curry chicken on rice.
Another good place is Prata Man on Garden City.
Their Hainanese chicken is pretty good as well as their curry beef on rice.
