REVIEW – New China Super Buffet: Asian Buffet (Tucson, AZ)

New China Super Buffet plate

I ate at New China Super Buffet for dinner.

They had moved food around and added a sushi bar & Hibachi grill since the last time I went there. The majority of chicken & beef dishes they had were sweet, but not overbearingly so. I didn't try everything (for example, I didn't try the sushi), but the majority of what I ate was tasty.

One thing I really didn't like were the overly cheesy mussels and crab meat. I might have liked those if they got rid of the cheese.

I tried some chicken and noodles with spicy Mongolian sauce on the Hibachi grill. It was a little too spicy for me, but it still tasted good.

Overall, the food was tasty and on the sweet side, but very oily, and I did get a minor headache (probably from the oiliness of the food). However, it was still probably one of the better Asian buffets I've had in Tucson.

REVIEW – Panda Express: Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp, String Bean Chicken, Orange Chicken, Beijing Beef (Leftovers)

Panda Express Meal

I had Panda Express leftovers as wake-up food in the morning.

The Chow Mein noodles tasted fine, but they were a little dry, and there were too many chunky vegetables.

The Honey Walnut Shrimp was deliciously sweet with a nice honey texture and some crispness. I could definitely do without the walnuts, though.

The String Bean Chicken was good with a nice savory taste, and the string beans weren't too shriveled.

I had some of my boyfriend's Orange Chicken, which was very sweet (sweeter than the Honey Walnut Shrimp). It was also a little too filling for me, but it was still good.

I also tried his Beijing Beef, which was sweet, too tangy, and chewy, and I didn't care for it at all.

Overall Rating:
Good

REVIEW – Trader Joe’s Panang Curry Sticks (Frozen)

Trader Joe's Panang Curry Sticks

I had some Panang Curry Sticks from Trader Joe's. The box states they are filled with shrimp, fish, and vegetables in a spicy Thai curry sauce.

I cooked them in the toaster oven, and they came out nice and crunchy. They tasted like sweet (but not too sweet), crunchy shrimp spring rolls. They were a little oily, and they maybe had too many sesame seeds for my liking, but they were very tasty.

Update (2013): Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find these any more. It looks like Trader Joe's may have discontinued them. :(
