I have never had calamari salad before so I didn't really know what to expect when I tried this calamari salad from Costco.

I liked the sweet taste of the calamari, and the calamari had a nice, soft and chewy texture. The combination of vegetables like the mushrooms, red peppers, and lettuce stems created a good crunch. The overall salad had a sweet, vinegar-y and ginger-y taste, and it was good, but I would have preferred less ginger.

REVIEW – Panda Express: Firecracker Chicken Breast

Firecracker Chicken Breast from Panda Express

Since we discovered that the firecracker chicken breast was free at Panda Express for Chinese New Year on Jan. 31, we decided to get some that day. The chicken was in a black bean sauce which was just a little spicy from the chilies, but unfortunately, it tasted a little bland. It just tasted like chicken sitting in some sauce with onion, chilies, and bell peppers. The chicken was also pretty dry... I ended up drinking a lot of water due to the dryness of the chicken rather than the heat from the chilies. The best part of the chicken dish was the bell peppers. I probably wouldn't get these again, so it was a good thing we got it for free!
