This was such a beautiful plate of food. I am not a big fan of meat and always crave more veggies. So, this combination of little bit of meat and lots of veggies is perfect. And look at all the colors…wonderful!
You might notice that I didn’t have real skewers and used chopsticks instead. Yeah..Don´t do that!
