This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra fish sauce and chili paste to give it some flavor.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably reduce the amount of chili paste next time.
