Coconut Red Curry & Roasted Salmon
Fish curry: 4/5 yummy, slightly spicy, begging for a lime squeeze Rice: 5/5 standard Green beans: 4/5 there were barely any, like total 4 green beans, but what was there was well cooked

Classic Kung Pao Fish
Even after heating up the sauce it was still kinda congealed. It was also INCREDIBLY salty. I only managed to eat half of it before I just couldn’t stand the saltiness anymore.

Tell us more about a bit salty but I liked it. Maybe I’ll put less sauce on it
