I just got back from Panda Express with my coupon for a free order of Firecracker Chicken. But it's not February 3 yet! Yup, that's right, I went on the WRONG day! I ordered my chicken and handed my coupon to the cashier and he said, "Oh, this doesn't start until tomorrow...but I'll give it to you anyway." OH, it was my lucky day! I totally goofed and thought the coupon was valid on Wednesday, but it's valid February 3, which is Thursday, of course. D'oh!
I think everyone at Panda Express was in a good mood because they were shooting a commercial to promote Chinese New Year and this new Firecracker Chicken dish. The manager was so nice to me when I walked in. He immediately told me I had to wait because they were shooting something. He apologized and offered me something to drink, but I declined (why'd I give up soda, again?!).
I lucked out and got a free lunch today, but I have to say that this Firecracker Chicken is SUPER SPICY! For once, the title is correct--it is like a firecracker in your mouth! Do not eat the dried chiles in there or you'll be sorry. This is the spiciest take out I've ever had...it made my nose sweat! But it was good. There are some nice slices of bell pepper and onions and the chicken is dressed with black bean and chile sauce. It's good, but I recommend eating it with rice (and maybe even milk--it is pretty hot!). I ate mine without rice and so there was nothing to dilute the heat.
Anyway, I was hit with a bad case of confusion today--there I go, again, mixing up dates! Oh well, it worked out because there was someone nice working there today!
Thank you, Panda Express!
