A Very Good Dinner and one that was OK

A very good dinner at the Heritage of India restaurant on Connecticut Avenue. Goa fish curry, made with fresh grouper, with flavored rice and broccoli; ma ki dal (black dal); and ras malai for dessert, along with an espresso.

An OK dinner at the New Big Wong in Chinatown: sauteed watercress, duck and vegetables (bean sprouts, mushrooms, bok choy, carrots and more), and Hunan tofu. Each dish was beautiful. Nothing tasted bad, but the taste of each dish was a bit understated. No tang. Little personality. Should you ignore the New Big Wong? No, not at all. Just don't go for a spicy food experience.
