This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I love the flavors in this dish, but I found it to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less oil next time.

The curry noodles were delicious, but the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
