Okay, time for week number eight in our quest to eat everything on the menu at Panda Express.

The next two items on the Entree menu are Black Pepper Angus Steak and Kung Pao Chicken.

To The Drive-Through we go!

Here we are at the drive-through lane. My windows are pretty dirty, I need to get my car washed!

There was one truck in front of us that took forever to order!

When I finally got up to the ordering station, I placed my order for the Black Pepper Angus Steak and was promptly told that they were all out of steak for the day.

What the fuck? How do you run out of steak in the middle of the fucking afternoon? This is the second time in this series that they’ve run out of something in the middle of the afternoon!

I thought quick on my feet and ordered the Mushroom Chicken instead.

We better get a fucking fortune cookie this week.

Sheesh, this entree menu has been a real shit show. Something has gotten fucked up on every stinking order!

Holy screaming shitballs, the light is green! At least something is going right!

And we’re back at MBIP World Headquarters Kitchen and Tasting Area. Let’s dig in to this week’s Panda Express meal.

8. receipt_4-2-21.jpg

This week I learned that the entrees come in small, medium and large sizes. I was never told that before.

I got the small entrees and to switch things up a little bit, I got a side of Chow Mein to mix them with.

I forgot to ask for extra soy sauce and hot mustard, but we still have a pretty good supply built up.

I’m still amazed that they don’t give you soy sauce with every meal.

10. boxed_4-2-21.jpg

There’s the three boxes, the entrees are in front and the Chow Mein is behind.

The boxes always look sloppy and gross when you open them up. They should think about different packaging methods.

The Kung Pao Chicken is the top photo and the Mushroom Chicken is below. Let’s try them out.

First Bites

Kung Pao Chicken: Like everything else I’ve had here, this wasn’t horrible, just incredibly bland. It had peanuts in it which gave it a nice taste and a crunchy texture, but still it was kind of like eating nothing.

Mushroom Chicken: Once again, this was okay, but it didn’t have any peanuts and was even more bland.

Panda Rating (1-4)

One and a half pandas. I probably would’ve given them a two, but I’m dinging them for being out of steak in the middle of the afternoon.

At least we did get two fortune cookies this week. Let’s see what our fortunes have to say:

1. “An unlikely ally will push you over the top.”

What the fuck does that mean? What am I, Humpty fucking Dumpty over here?

2. “You are naturally ambitious and will make a name for yourself.”

Uh, someone already made a name for me, Panda Express, they’re called my parents. Sheesh!

Since this Sunday is Rabbit Day, I got a couple of Peeps and happily ate the heads off of them.
