Grilled Chicken Dragon Bowl
I got so sick after eating this, never again

Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl
One of the shrimp had dirt/grim and caused gastral issues. Otherwise tasty although a bit too salty.

Grilled Salmon with Rainbow Grains
Good instructions (wrap with foil in oven),

Grilled Salmon with Rainbow Grains
The fish was actually extremely well prepared. Moist and extremely tasty, not overcooked. The grains were a bit over moist, but you can't avoid it in this context. More veggies would have been nice.

Tender beef and good flavour.

Golden Chicken Breast Schnitzel
Wasn’t too bad but probably wouldn’t order again, mash was a bit runny
