Surprisingly Good Curry
First Impressions
I picked this up on a whim for a quick work lunch and honestly it smells wonderful right out of the microwave. You get that immediate hit of lemongrass and coconut that makes your whole kitchen smell good. The sauce is super creamy and has a nice little kick of heat without burning your mouth, which I really appreciate since I love flavor but cannot handle crazy spice. The jasmine rice cooked up fluffy and soaked up the sauce perfectly. It really feels comforting to eat, especially on a busy day when I do not have time to cook from scratch.
The Final Verdict
As for the vegetables, there is a decent amount of bamboo shoots and red peppers mixed in. While the flavor is spot on, if I could change one thing, I would definitely add more crispness to the veggies or just add more of them in general because they get a little soft after heating. I think adding some fresh basil or a squeeze of lime on top would take this to the next level too. Overall, for a frozen meal under five bucks, it is a solid choice that leaves me feeling full and happy. I will definitely be grabbing a few more of these to keep in the freezer for emergency dinners.
