Disappointing as it is, it's what they must do in order to do good business here. And from what I hear, the place is wildly popular with Vietnamese now (as well as foreigners). I tried and enjoyed a couple of dishes there this past week, but of course have never been to the one in Singapore, so can't compare the flavors. It was very noticeably less spicy than similar dishes in Bangkok of course.

I've heard they do similiar things with other big brands -- such as Coca Cola, McDonalds, etc: change the flavor slightly to suit the tastes of the locals.
