I’ve not eaten my weight in Panda Specific’ Orange Hen, and moments of my life had been used to calculating whether or not I did. However I’ve eaten a lot of it that I can immediately inform Panda Specific’ fake fowl Past Orange Hen doesn’t style EXACTLY like the actual deal.
However I felt that was going to be the case earlier than making an attempt the brand new entree as a result of I’ve eaten sufficient plant-based chick’n/chik’n/stylish’n/ch’ken/ch’ok’n merchandise to know what to anticipate, which is one thing that doesn’t style precisely like hen.
It’s arduous for me to clarify the flavour of the plant-based meat on this entree. It’s not poultry-like, however I don’t discover it unappealing. The Orange Hen sauce is similar candy sauce with a slight kick that made Panda Specific what it’s immediately. I’ve all the time thought that it’s so tasty that placing it on any fried animal or plant-based protein can even make it tasty, and that ended up being the case with Past Orange Hen.
Nonetheless, whereas I like this and would eat it once more, its general taste doesn’t persuade me that it’s as craveable as the unique, which is what the Panda Specific web site claims. However when you’re into plant-based meats, it’s undoubtedly value a strive.
Whereas I don’t discover the entree’s taste odd, its look is a bit of bizarre. Not like the O.G.O.C., which has diversified piece sizes, Past Orange Hen items are uniform and form of seem like Past Meat’s try and recreate BTS’ finger hearts in faux-meat kind.
The inside appears to be like tofu adjoining, and the off-white spots within the “meat” look peculiar. Though my points with the spots is likely to be the results of an excessive amount of sci-fi anime and manga. The protein’s texture jogs my memory of barely dried up tofu, and whereas the outside has some crispiness, it’s extra like a Hen McNugget than the unique Orange Hen’s breading.
Very like Panda Specific’ steak and shrimp entrees, Past Orange Hen has a premium upcharge. Due to that larger worth, not being as scrumptious as the unique, and being a restricted time providing, I don’t suppose I’ll ever come near consuming my weight in it.
