There are many Indians who regularly patronize vegetarian and the traditional Chinese restaurants including the inexpensive hawker food stalls in S E Asia. Mind you most of the dishes they order are not spicy, nor chillied at all - perhaps this could be the reason - too get away from Indian curries, chillis and spicy food.
Actually Indians like most of the Chinese food items (except beef) without too much cornstarch like in Sharks Fin Soup or Cantonese Fried noodles.
They also like the Chinese way of doing whole fish dishes - steamed with ginger and soy sauce, deep fried with mild chillied sweet sour sauces are popular; and the pork dishes even the trotters with the fatty layer of gelatinous skin and all. Also pork spare ribs, stir fry mix vegetables with prawns, braised tofu with mix slices of meat (fish, chicken, pork, shrimps, defintely no beef).

If you can handle spicy food then get the spicy shredded pork. I noticed that some Chinese restraurant has it and some don't. So this is authentic. You need to go to China town and find a authentic ones. Most Chinese restaurants cater to American taste buds and it sucks because they put sugar in most all of the food. Yuck.

Do you know that the Chinese discovered the art of cooking 'Fish Head Curry', try the place call 'Makan Place' at Race Course Road.
Anyway, there are alot of Chinese cooking chicken curry, I know there is a place in Balestier too.
If they are from India, my advise is to bring them to Devagi's restaurant at the upper Thomson road, she is a great cook.

Singapore noodles would be considered tasty I think as it has a curry sauce (Chinese curry is different than Indian curry, no aesteofeta (sp?) and more tumeric)
