I am rather nauseated as I write this.
We were looking for a place to eat today and my copsion suggested the new (to us anyway) Panda Express restaurant on Burnet Road —they have several lcoations.
In Austin, Texas, one thing I HAVE learned is that if you go to a restaurant around here and you DO NOT get extremely sick after eating there, then that is one you better go back to and eat only there or YOU WILL BE SORRY!
We ate at the Panda Express at about 4 p;m. Today, Sunday, April 27.
I had the fried rice and the new Bejiing beef dish and the Kung Pao chicken. My dining companion had the Beijiing beef dish as well, mushroom chicken, the stir fried vegetables and two eggrolls which were an extra side order.
I wanted to go to the El Greco which features the BEST HOMESTYLE GREEK FOOD I EVER ATE IN MY LIFE!!! But I figured I should let my dinner companion choose the place.
No sooner had we eaten there then my dinner companion has to find a restroom YESTERDAY! A few minutes later, I did TOO!
The food was delicious but OVERPRICED for the portions we received. I estimate about half to 3/4 a cup of fried rice and about that much for each entree. Add a soda and the companion got two eggrolls and it call came up to about $22 or $23 total — or very close.
We almost made it home!
Now I finished throwing up etc. And the companion is STILL throwing up and I estimate that everything we ate in there has been returned to the sewer systerms — with interest!
I might as well have taken that money and flushed it too. My upper lip is swollen as are my eyes and I am feeling dizzy and do not dare go too far from the restroom! My companion is still in there after about 45 minutes...
I wondered why on a usually busy Saturday afternoon that nobody was in there and the people who were working to fix the food were about three undocumented workers. They did not understand English whatsoever but because I can speak Spanish and I was courteous, I thought they would be able to understand me. The lady who was the manager spoke Spanish with a Middle Eastern accent and her English was excellent. She was NOT Hispanic or Asian, incidentally!
This one rates a call to the health department the first thing Monday morning!
I have no idea what we ate that made us so sick and i do not know if you and your family will get sick if you eat there. I just want to warn you of the possibily.
I wish I could bill them for two cases of ROLLAIDS I will have to take and the Pepto-Bismol we will have to take because of their LOUSY food and WHO KNOW WHAT SORT OF SANITATION PROBLEMS THEY HAVE IN THERE...
My throat and stomach are ON FIRE! My eyes are dwelling shut and this monitor looks like the inside of a fish bowl... I see an ambulance and the ER in my future.
