I love shopping at Trader Joe's! They have some great people, products that are unique or hard to find at the normal grocery store, and most products are their own private label! But don't think generic or cheap. Their products are reasonably priced and often imported. That said, sometimes their frozen products have failed to be what we expected. But I am always on the lookout for something new and tasty. On this visit I found Trader "Ming's" Chicken & Vegetable Wonton Soup. It looked good at first glance, but then I noticed it was microwave only, which always worries me. It had an uncooked protein, a wonton wrapper, and frozen carrots...three items I normally don't care to micro-zap. But the picture looked tasty, and we rarely go out to eat Chinese food, and I never cook it, so i bought one for each of us, and we each cooked our own.
My wife (a.k.a. "Turkey") had me go first. All I had to do was add about 5 ounces of water and microwave it for about 5 minutes in the provided bowl and voila, it's soup! I topped it with fresh ground pepper, added a dash of Soy Sauce and it was great! My wife even said it was good enough to do all over again. For a quick, satisfying meal, it is nice to have on hand!
Conclusion:
Taste ⭐⭐⭐⭐(Very good)
Price 💲💲(Really nice)
P.S.: I read a review today that said they didn't care it. We must have been eating different meals. Nothing they said applied to our meals!
I love spending time with my 2 grandboys, and today we got to eat and go to a movie!
We ended up at Panda Express®, located in a shopping complex called "The Gateway" in downtown Salt Lake City. They have always liked Panda's fare, so it seemed like a fine choice.
Of course your selections are placed into a Styrofoam container and the person helping us seemed generous in filling the compartments. We had Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, Honey-Walnut Shrimp and Fried Rice. We spent between $8 and $9 for what they call a "plate", which is two entrees and a filler. We had both chow mein and fried rice.
Let me say that my wife and I had not eaten at a Panda Express for quite some time. We felt the quality had deteriorated. Such was not the case at this location. We made the mistake of going in around noon and the line was long, but they were efficient and courteous. These are the flavors I had come to expect, and they delivered. My grandboys ate it up too, and we then took in a movie (Ready Player One).
Results & Conclusions
Panda Express totally delivered a nice meal. We ate our fill and it made me sleepy during the boring parts of the movie, which was totally aimed at boys my grandsons age.
