And no, I don't eat fish.
I used to order the Asian Veg meal all the time, and a couple of years ago it was generally excellent - usually some sort of nice curry or noodle dish and lots of fresh fruit for dessert. However, my experiences in the last 18 months have been uniformaly poor - usually very bland vegetables that have been boiled to oblivion served over rice that has been reheated too many times. I don't eat fish but do consume cheese, so switching back to standard meal profile and choosing the pasta has been a better option even though the pasta dish is pretty substandard relative to anything you could produce at home.
