The hot pot was delicious and had a fantastic texture.

The rice was spoiled and inedible, and I had to pay full price this year. I'm probably going to throw it away because it's inedible. And they delivered me a bunch of rotten vegetables, half of which I had to throw away because they were rotten and the bananas were bruised and damaged. It was so delicious! Next time I won't dare buy anything on sale like that again because the food isn't fresh and inedible, and I wasted my time scrutinizing it. It's such a shame.
