      At Chinese restaurants they usually serve 2 kinds of cookies. Almond cookies & fortune cookies. The almond cookie is round with an almond sliver gentley pressed into it's center. The fortune cookie is NOT an almond cookie. It is thin, folded in half once (after a small piece of paper with a fortune typed on it is placed inside of it) then bent in the opposite direction. I think I am safe in saying all Chinese food restaurants give them out, one to a customer, and delivered to the table along with the bill.

      @mokumboi19 5 місяців тому +1

      @coleensakamoto6844 Back home, at my cheap Chinese family spot, the ingredients were printed on the wrapper. It said almond extract oil and they tasted distinctly of almonds. Admittedly, I've lived abroad for 20 years, so maybe they're different now.
      Also, I am not familiar with these almond sliver cookies. Not that I recall anyway.

    I live in San Francisco. There's an "authentic" version of every known Chinese cuisine somewhere in the Bay Area if not in the city itself, including outposts of some Hong Kong places. But I still go to Panda Express. Call it a guilty pleasure. It doesn't have to be authentic to be enjoyable. Most of their stuff is remarkably sweet, unlike "authentic" Chinese food. I have a sweet tooth. Works for me.

    • @RJKookie
      @RJKookie 5 місяців тому +9

      I find it ironic that at the time when the Cherng family opened their small family-run restaurant in Pasadena, serving a mostly non-Asian clientele, they had to lure customers with freebies and such - but in order to survive the founders ended up adapting and creating their own genre of fast-food - opening the first Panda Express at the Glendale Galleria food court. They basically adapted Chinese food to an American audience who were primarily shopping inside a mall.
      I also have a sweet tooth and love Panda Express, but I also love hitting up the variety of asian cuisines in SGV and Alhambra and Monterey Park. Too many food snobs or Panda Haters don’t realize the incredible backstory of this iconic franchise. Panda Express food is enjoyable (my location and their cooks are consistently good) and totally convenient - that’s what keeps me coming back for more.

      @@demonic7610 Yawn. This attitude is so 5 years ago and boring. You don't have to visit San Francisco to experience property crime and the consequences of homelessness. The Wall Street Journal, which has bashed San Francisco for years now, recently ran an article under the headline "Midsize Cities Struggle With Snowballing Homelessness". The article goes on to say, "Midsize cities like Grand Rapids are testing out new ways to handle unhoused populations that have surged since the pandemic, as a record spike in the nation’s homelessness numbers has grown far beyond expensive coastal areas with entrenched homelessness problems. The city’s efforts-which have been particularly wide-ranging-demonstrate the difficulties communities face trying to make a dent in reducing homelessness. The number of homeless people counted in Grand Rapids increased more quickly than the nation as a whole this year . . . ." By contrast, the number of people living on San Francisco's streets has been fairly stable at around 8000 for a number of years and they are concentrated mostly in the Tenderloin and Mission districts (thanks to the city's putting nearly all the services--soup kitchens,. shelters, drug rehab programs--for them in these neighborhoods). The Tenderloin has some great Indian food and the Mission is San Francisco's Hispanic neighborhood so if you want those foods, you may have to see a few tents (the feces on the sidewalk thing is vastly hyped) and people smoking something out of tinfoil. Guard your eyes, take an Uber to your restaurant there (don't drive your own car--smash and grabs are real) and don't worry about violent crime--the city is still one of the safest in that regard. Regarding the open drug use, also real, the Federal task force and the new DA are cracking down as hard as they can on the Central American (thanks Biden) drug gangs selling most of the fentanyl and ketamine and even the local judges are now rejecting plea deals that don't involve jail time ("sanctuary city" advocates are screaming).

    I just ate Mexican... we have a wonderful locally owned Mexican place here that is the best... I could seriously eat there every day... I swear they know me both on the phone and in person... they always know just what I want... they are so sweet there... But yeah Christmas Eve I got Mexican... but that's just because it's Sunday and we always get it on Sunday... I work weekends and I generally too tired to do much on Sunday so cooking is the last thing I want to be doing... One more night of work and then I'll be off for the next 3 days. But back to work again next weekend. So working both the holidays again. But someone has to do it. At least I'm only working the very early morning... but I'll be sleeping all day for Christmas and New Years... Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and a Blessed New Year!

    I grew up in Ogden Utah. It was once named Juntion City. Any town that was a train town in the states during the building of the railroad was lucky enough to have wonderful, authentic Chinese food. It lasted for a few decades. After some time. The grand children and their children went on to school and studied other subjects. Not many original Chinese restaurants in the train towns anymore. I sure do miss the ones in Ogden Utah though.

    I actually buy boxes of fortune cookies at Panda as I like that they are not too sweet. Fortune cookies were invented by a Chinese restauranter in San Francisco in the 1900's. They originated from the cookies which Japanese immigrants to the US made in the nineteen century. In 1992 a food company tried to introduce them in China but failed since the Chinese considered them too American.

    Ah man, I'm an unbelievably jealous because I absolutely adore Panda Express. Panda Express is easily in the top 5 of favorite fast food chains. Before moved out and flew to live a few states over, I worked on the family business and after closing up, we would stop by Panda a few times a week because we just enjoyed the food so much. Half n Half Fried Rice and Chow Mein with some Orange Chicken and Honey Walnut Shrimp with an Egg Roll was always my major go-to everytine we went. It was always on the drive back home but, now, where i live, the closest is in a town that's an hour away. I remember one time, being genuinely annoyed with one of my housemates because he had gone to said town to run some important errand and got Panda Express since it was nearby yet, didn't offer to get me any despite knowing our shared major enjoyment of the place. Looking back at it, it's funny that i was so upset but, man, I wish one would open up around here.

We, as a family, usually grab take ouke from a good Chinese restaurant for dinner on Christmas day. There are usually 10 - 20 people here, so everyone stops and grabs their favorite items and we all share everything. Its a great variety of different foods you normally don't try.

    I’m laughing so hard right now!! Fortune cookies are delicious with a hint of coconut. Very American treat not Chinese. Interesting history worth looking up. Most are manufactured in New York and in March 2005, 110 lottery players had the same numbers. Normally it’s only three to five players. The FBI investigated and discovered the Fortune Cookie manufacturer had hand picked the numbers. Because of this the lottery numbers on the back are now machine picked and variable each day.

    The real treat for me is that a pint of extra veggies is only 4.00 and makes it healthier. My dog Koko (RIP) liked Chinese food day or leftovers because he got the fortune cookie. Most restaurants also serve an almond cooki which are delicious.
    Just for fun. after you read your fortune cookie for the kids always add the phrase..."In the bathroom", they crack up!
    For the adults add..."in the bedroom".

      I would argue that panda express isn't in the Chinese food genre. (definitely not the right term but you get what I mean) If you're approaching it from the perspective of Chinese takeout, you're doing it wrong. It's a category of its own. Kind of like Taco Bell. You don't go there for authentic Mexican cuisine.
