This week’s menu : PF Chang’s China Bistro!
 |
| PF Chang's China Bistro - Mall Of the Emirates |
We all have heard and seen this name on the social media
posts of our friends. But what do they really serve? We spent a simple
afternoon knowing their menu and the delicious meals we can order from them.
Let’s start with the PLACE – Very cozy and seems expensive.
Of course, they have to live up to the brand has been known worldwide. Mood
lighting is very important to have a different dining experience. It is not
that well lit nor too dark - red and yellow shades normally light the entire
restaurant. Chinese wall paper, artwork and jars adorn the place with comfy
furniture that is nice for long meals and long conversations. The staff as well
is very accommodating. They know what the clients deserve which is good service
with a smile.

The PALATABILITY – Chinese cuisine is very delicate. It is
known worldwide and variations have been made and are introduced so it is quite
difficult to say that it is Chinese Food. As far as palette is concerned, the
food is “capsicum-istic, pepper-potpourri and pei-wei”. Enough pepper, savory, sweet and tangy, spice
was just right and presentation is appetizing. The Menu goes from chicken, duck
to beef – a good list of noodles and house specialties!

The PRICE – Since it is a known brand, it is expected to be
quite of a good value. Middle class earners can have a good meal at this place
where they can enjoy a full meal with a good drink. We suggest that you take
the Traditional Ice Tea as it is bottomless. Each main dish on the menu includes
a serving of rice already so there is no need to order rice if you are eating
alone. When in groups, it is also a good idea to order the basics with their
appetizers and one or two off the main dish list. The portions are quite
Never hesitate to ask the waiting team on what they can
suggest for you be assisted on what to order and how much you have for the
budget. Remember that it is not humiliating to be on budget – what is wrong is
going off budget on things that you do not understand.

Recommendations:
Appetizers – PF Chang’s is very proud of their signature
dishes. We suggest that you order with the Chicken Lettuce Wraps and the known
Dynamite Shrimp. They are both delicious and good on your budget.
Main Dish – The list can go on with their Main Dish but we
recommend the Wok Charred Beef, the Sweet and Sour Chicken and the VIP Duck.
These meals come with a bowl of either brown or white rice. Portions are quite generous so sharing would not be a problem.
They also have choices of soups and noodles depending on your preference.
We tried the Great Wall of China cake which was absolutely divine. The large portion of chocolate cake with chocolate/caramel icing in between layers was tasty which seals a lovely meal. Chocolate chip bits sprinkled generously give it texture and a balance between sweet and bitter cocoa taste.

Let's go around and taste the best things in life - FOOD!
Enjoy - Smile and don't forget to leave #FoodPrintsOnTheSand!
