Overall: C // 3 stars
Running a generous promotion on Uber Eats with significant value takeout food. However, it seems like the flavor profile is also on discount as there are some critical ingredients lacking from what otherwise could've been a solid arrangement of food.
(Chive Pancake: C) - The sauce has a delicious savory, acidic, and sweet profile. I like the chive component, but it needs more chive to make it taste like eating a big blob of mochi.
(Pad Thai: C) - A large plate of pad thai, but when I first tasted it, I was incredibly disappointed to find that it had no flavor. When I retossed it on a wok, it seems like the flavor profile was correct, but it just seemed like someone forgot to add any amount of salt.
(Pad See Ew: B) - Similar to the Pad Thai, this dish needs to be better seasoned. That said, there was a light soy note that could be tasted, and would be even better if it was intensified. The beef was tender.
(Tom Kha: F) - The flavor profile of this soup was incredibly problematic as it tasted like coconut water and lacked most of the spices built to make the soup have its distinctively captivating flavor. It's lacking kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and perhaps even fish sauce.
