Coconut Red Curry & Roasted Salmon
Large portion. Flavor was good but WAY too spicy--neither one of us could eat it. Good if you like things spicy.

Soba Noodle Salad with Chicken
due to the lettuce only. however understandable as lettuce has a short life once chopped

Chicken was cut up and got dry heating but otherwise tasty

Hamburg Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Bland, paired with white rice is silly. A larger main portion option would be nice. You've been chopped ;)
