Panda BBQ 熊猫撸串 (New Bridge)

It’s been a while since I had Sichuan-style skewers and we decided to try Panda BBQ (熊猫撸串) at 273 New Bridge Road. Boy was it a sinful dinner🤣! We ordered an array of skewers and dishes and it amounted to $85 for 3 pax.

There is a wide selection of skewers and they are pretty tasty! My favourites include BBQ chives, beef, chicken, pork intestine, mushroom and chicken skin. The seasoning for all the skewers is about the same and it does get quite salty after a while, so it’s good that we ordered a non-spicy dish like Handmade Wanton in Chicken Soup to balance things out.

Apart from the skewers, we also had BBQ eggplant and enoki mushroom. They are super fragrant and garlicky, but they are also swimming in oil😅 The oiliness did get to me after awhile, especially since we did not pair this with rice to cut the grease.

For carbs, we had Hot and Spicy Beef Noodles (麻辣牛肉面) and Clear Noodles in Spicy Sauce (川北凉粉). The beef noodle is quite flavourful but the beef is on the tougher side. The 凉粉 is a much welcomed cold appetiser amidst all the spicy dishes and the vinegar helps to cut through the strong flavours.

While the food is generally tasty, it can get quite salty, oily and jelak after a while, for me at least. If I were to return again, I will probably order a good mix of intense and milder dishes for better balance and if there is an option for lesser oil, my advice is to take it😛
