    I wanted to make this recipe, but I was hesitant because of a previous review. I decided to go for it and really try to amp up the flavor. It was still just ok.

    Surprisingly meh! With all these ingredients I expected a lot of flavor, I got very little. While it wasn’t unpleasant it also was not good. In the end it was like a person from the Midwest ate Vietnamese and Thai for the first time in the same week and said “I can make that!” and sadly they could not.
