Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. It's not the best Thai food I've ever had, but it's definitely worth trying.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Mee Krob turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked the noodles.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili paste.
