The food that was presented was teriyaki chicken, orange chicken with rice on the side, a glazed donut, and horchata boba.
The orange chicken was coated in a sweet pineapple flavor, the teriyaki chicken was more of a juicy meat and had juicy broccoli, but was not sweetened like the orange chicken. The rice on the side was a bit dry, but it was more of a fried rice because the rice was brown and with different small vegetables in it.
The boba had cinnamon whipped cream, a sweetened rice flavor, and boba at the bottom of the drink. The donut had a glazed, sweet topping.
