This dish was a disappointment. The vermicelli was overcooked, and the sugar syrup was too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The vermicelli was a little too soft, and the sugar syrup was a little too sweet.

I'm not a big fan of vermicelli, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sugar syrup was the perfect sweetness, and the pistachios added a nice crunch.
