@thewaythingsare: if you go back and actually read the post you can do a count: 3 noodles dishes (2 good, one not so much) and one non-noodle dish (pretty damn good). Not sure where we said this is a ...

After reading these comments, for a second there I thought I had given a negative review! I'm happy Maya is here and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The simple reality is that there are a few of us who...
