Panda Kitchen

Hi people!

It has been a long silent in here...so i thought i just post something to spice it up a little.

Anyway, running in tandem with our long term goals to open a restaurant in the future. I decided to blog on my experience(just to share with you guys) going to this new restaurant ; Panda Kitchen adjacent to Gurney.

The main reason for me blogging this is so that we can all share our ideas on the decoration, special dishes/menu, food presentations and even the flaws and advantage they have, so that we too can emulate the pros and ditch the cons for our own eatery.=)

Along the way, i could have made some errors while reviewing it. Hence, do feel free to feedback on this entry!

Let's get the ball rolling by introducing the concept of this restaurant.

Panda Kitchen basically serves Western & Fusion Food. They have a few parking lots avalaible in their premises and since its a house turned restaurant, its either they rent it or buy it up to set up the restaurant.

(Wont be cheap either way i think as its a single storey bungalow house near Gurney)

I shall let the pictures speak for themselves.=)

First up, the decoration

The white + apple green combination of colours

The ceiling & Lightings - I think this could be a simple DIY stuffs.

The table. I kinda like it...what do you guys think?
Seems easy to maintain- minus the additional hassle of maintaining a table cloth somemore.

Next, the F.O.O.D, we ordered a set dinner which comprises of the below.

Soup of the Day + Drinks (choices given are either coffee or tea only, else the calculations will depend on the type of drinks ordered)

Salad of the Day.

Just a personal opinion, i thought the Thousand Island sauce given is almost negligible!

Rib Eye Steak - with BBQ sauce. There are 4 other types of sauce to choose from - garlic, black pepper, mustard and i forgot the other one (Opppss!) I must admit that i am disappointed to see the size of the steak. (RM22.80)

This is a bit special though, i forgot exactly the name - but its chicken + cheese + a tang of local taste thru the addition of Sambal Udang in it...rather unique and a creative attempt to blend in the ingredients. =) The taste is not bad too, thanks to the aromatic 'sambal udang' but personally, i think its a bit too salty. Other than that, its okay.(RM19.80)

For budget restaurant who offer set meals, i must say this dessert is better than a typical below average jelly offered by most restaurants. The cup is plastic one...so its easier to maintain and doesnt hurt much of the budget.=)

Last but not least, the price. Its about RM47 for both set dinners - which i think is quite expensive for a serving like this.

So, would i come over the second time?

Errrr...i dont think so.
