A few months ago, Panda started using brown rice in their
fried rice. I didn’t care for it so I haven’t been back to Panda until now. I
saw on their website: “Vote in store to keep your favorite fried rice on the
menu.” Until August 31st they will be offering both the classic
fried rice and brown fried rice and tracking purchases to determine the winner.
So I had to go “vote” for the classic fried rice.
There were two ladies behind the counter. One was helping a
man with what sounded like a pretty large order. The other lady took my order
right away. A panda bowl with classic fried rice and grilled teriyaki chicken
with sauce on top. Yum! One thing I’ve noticed about Panda is rather than
asking if you want a drink and what size, they usually say something like “Large
Pepsi?” If you take the bait, it’s like an instant upsell. Pretty smart!
(Although I went with a small drink.)
The chicken was quite tasty as well as the classic fried
rice I’ve been missing! I encourage everyone to visit and help bring back
classic fried rice! They will continue to offer both regular steamed and brown
rice as options. As for the fortune cookie wisdom… “Your keen sense of humor will
make you many good friends” and “Fortune truly helps those who are of good
judgment.”
