Bland Western-Style Vegetable Soup ...

... reminiscent of a terrible soup experience a few years back in South Africa's Port Elizabeth, where the hotel served up a meal worthy of multiple episodes of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. This soup was better here despite the bland taste, as it appeared to be freshly made that day and not simply reheated like it was in Port Elizabeth. It was more the inclusion of a slice of a Wonder Bread-like slice of bread that reminded us of Port Elizabeth.
