The sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been thinned out with some water or broth.

I found the chicken to be a little dry. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the bananas had been omitted.
