Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
The ingredients are great, the beef has been inconsistent in the last a few meals, sometimes they were cooked perfectly to medium well sometimes they were hard to chew

Very spicy.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
This was well made, the flavor was not to my personal preference - too sweet. The asparagus also didn’t really seem like asparagus because it was so small

Seared Soy-Butter Barramundi
There was something very off-putting about the texture of this dish. I'm not sure if it was the quinoa or the fish, but it left a freaky film on my teeth and I had to brush my teeth for a while to remove it. It's a pass for me.
