Vegetable Lamprais was absolutely delicious: tumeric rice perfectly cooked, diverse fresh vegetables, yummy chickpeas, excellent usage of spices & good serving size. Hard-boiled egg was slightly rubbery. It had been boiled longer than necessary. I really appreciated that meal came in cardboard container lined with silver-foil. But, it was wrapped in plastic-wrap. Please consider wrapping in grease-proof paper. Rottie Bread was excellent & generous serving. Mixed Pickle was fine, but consider an enviro-friendly container, rather than plastic, as there are numerous cost-efficient & enviro-friendly alternatives on the market. Ginger Tea was OK, but the ginger wasn't strong enough & I was surprised it came with milk. Chai Tea was curious & disappointing, it was clearly dirty, but tasted overwhelmingly of carbonated sarsparilla that had gone flat. I love sarsparilla, but did not love this chai. You forgot the Hot Milo. Non-plastic Cutlery was excellent. All in all, very pleased.
