Review: Panda Express!

Faith — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:10:06 +0000

Well we’ve finally evaded my awful, horrible mother’s grasp (she wants us to live in KC but to never go anywhere – which annoys me to no end, since she should have no control over my life at this point, but I digress, lol.) and visited one of our favorite fast food places which would be Panda Express. Now, we’ve never been to this one (it’s up on Barry Rd. in Kansas City, where St. Claire(?) and Barry Rd. intersect about half a mile from Lake Waukomis and The Coves.

It was awesome, very clean and friendly with a great atmosphere. We bought some of their famous orange chicken, I had a pepsi and Laota had a tea. We sat and took some pictures then grabbed a bottle of their orange sauce (very good, we’ve had it as a glaze on roasted chicken since). It even has a little outdoor spot with a few tables to eat – pardon the bad pics, had to take them with my phone! Out of five stars, it easily gets four – check it out if you have time!

Mr. Totino Pizza Man

I’ve heard people gripe a LOT about Totino’s infamous “Party Pizza” and how inedible they are, or how greasy – how easy to burn. I disagree!

Technically, these are from last month when we had bought some cheap Totino’s from Hy-Vee. I forgot all about them and when I saw the pics I just had to post!

They’re delish! Yes, the crust IS a bit cracker-like but anyone who’s ever had a crispy or sizzle-pan crust from a take-out Pizza place knows how good those are. You just have to follow the instructions to come up with an unburnt pizza, and our roaster does wonders in that department!

Tomato Basil Noodles

One of my very favorite instant noodle dishes and this is the first time I’ve had it! It’s got a great, tangy sauce tomato sauce. I can’t tell if it’s got peppers, but it had a very mild kick. I love tomato pasta dishes, I’m a big marinara fan, but this was almost a salad-style pasta. I’m thinking of trying it as a cold dish next time I get a package of it, since it’s been so hot here lately.

Mega Noodle Haul

I’m still lacking in all things food, but they just opened a Dollar General store about three miles away (the third store in town – yes, really) and they’ve got 99 cent noodle cups and noodle bowls! So all of our money went to some delicious instant food – first being Simply Asia’s Teriyaki Noodles which take about 2 minutes to cook and are delicious!
