We decided one night to try out Panda Express – a famous Chinese restaurant chain in America. We were greeted by cheerful staff members who invited us to have a free taste of some of their dishes. Red which symbolizes good fortune in Chinese custom is evident in the interior of the restaurant from the lanterns to the lights.


I’ve noticed that most Chinese restaurants here have the 2-entree and 3-entree deals. Diners can choose 2 or 3 entrees and a side dish or appetizer. I admit that I have a big appetite but the 2-entree meal is perfectly enough for me.
Instead of rice, I settled for Chow Mein instead. It is just simply noodles tossed with mixed vegetables. I was really craving for pancit canton so I enjoyed it.
It was my first time to try orange chicken so I grabbed the chance that night. Crispy chicken bits cooked with sweet and spicy orange sauce. I really liked it at first but it gets sourer each bite. It was like orange at first, then orange with lemon, then orange with lemon and lime until my teeth finally gave up. It took me a while to appreciate it, but I still ended up liking it. I guess this one is better for sharing, para iwas ngilo. Hihi. :)

Despite my love-hate relationship with the orange chicken, I have to say that I really loved their Cream Cheese Rangoon. My first piece of the oozing cream cheese wrapped in wanton wrapper erased my trivial disappointments with the orange chicken. It comes with a sweet and sour sauce on the side but I refused anything sour after the orange chicken. Plus, it’s good as is. :)

I love Panda Express!! Mmmm, orange chicken. I miss it so much! The one in Chowking isn't as good, in my opinion. They have this shrimp thing too that I like, I forget the name of the dish.
