Seared Soy-Butter Barramundi





O’ e never had this fish before but took a chance. It was light, not fishy, very delicious. Bok Choy was disappointing. No flavor, over cooked.

Classic Beef Bibimbap





I didn't like the crunchy/slimy texture combination. Pretty much all of the vegetables got pushed to the side.
