Panda Express Chinese Kitchen

 


Eating Panda Express Chinese Kitchen brings back so many great memories of my hometown. My mom used to buy it at Nordstrom Rack in the Marina in San Leandro Shopping Mall after our shopping trips, and we’d take it home for lunch or dinner. Now, I can enjoy my favorite food without needing to fly back to California. For those unfamiliar with Panda Express, you can create a plate with two or three entrées and a side of your choice. The picture shown features Kung Pao Chicken, Eggplant Tofu, and Chow Mein.

1 Entrée and 1 Side of your choice

I couldn't stop laughing at the size of the small entrée of Kung Pao Chicken. I think I made a big mistake with the size selection since this is my first time ordering from the Philippines. It was online, so I had no clue how the sizes would compare to California.

Oh well, it's here now, and it's my mistake based on my own judgment. Good thing I ordered another entrée to share with my family.



You can clearly compare the sizes, with the orange chicken served in the larger container and the Kung Pao Chicken placed right next to it.

I decided to give their mango sago a try to see if it would pass my test.



Mango Sago is PHP 144.00 ($2.88).

Orange Chicken tastes just like it does back home; the flavor hasn’t changed at all. 

Kung Pao Chicken is perfect for those who enjoy spicy food, and the taste is still delicious. 

Eggplant Tofu, my favorite vegetable dish, is spicy and completely satisfied my cravings. 

Chow Mein tastes just like it does back home—nothing is missing, and I love eating noodles. 

Fried Rice is okay. 

Mango Sago reminds me of the mango graham crackers we make in the Philippines. 

Of course, we get a free treat with a fortune cookie, revealing what our future holds on a small piece of paper.
