I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 449 Panda Curry
The girls, carrying the bamboo shoots, returned to the restaurant and handed them over to the staff at the door!
Sitting in the chairs, they immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
"I'm so tired!"
"My back is so sore! I need a good sleep when I get back today."
"Hey, do you smell something delicious?"
"It really smells good! Am I too hungry?"
"When will our food be served!"
Yang Xiaochao sniffed the fragrant aroma coming from the surrounding tables, and his stomach embarrassingly let out a loud "gurgle~" sound.
Everyone turned their heads left and right, looking for the culprit!
Yang Xiaochao took the initiative to feign ignorance, "Huh, whose stomach is growling?"
Everyone looked at her, and Ran Qingqing retorted, "Stop pretending, it was you!"
Yang Xiaochao argued, "It really wasn't me..."
Just then, his stomach "gurgled" again, and everyone burst into laughter!
A minute after sitting down, the dishes were served!
Of course, it was arranged in advance by the show crew, so they didn't need to order.
"Wow!"
"So cute!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison, Shi Xi had already taken out her phone for photos.
On one plate were six rice balls, decorated with black seaweed to look like cute, round pandas sprawled across the dish.
On the other side of the plate was thick, yellow curry, containing potatoes, carrots, meat chunks, and the like.
The waiter smiled and introduced, "This is our Panda Restaurant's signature dish, Panda Curry!"
The aromatic curry, paired with the soft and fragrant rice, tasted absolutely amazing!
It was not only delicious but also cute in presentation, perfect for tourists dining at the restaurant to share photos.
Take a photo and post it on social media, and it's bound to get a lot of likes.
Yang Xiaochao couldn't wait to grab a rice panda ball and pop it into his mouth, and after finishing one, he looked at the remaining pandas surrounding the yellow curry on the plate and a strange thought popped into his head: "Hey, doesn't it look like the pandas are eating poop?"
Ran Qingqing, who was enjoying her meal, gradually changed her expression upon hearing Yang Xiaochao's words.
Looking at the panda and the curry on the plate, the more she looked, the more it resembled that image!
She told herself it wasn't right, this was Panda Curry, not pandas eating poop!
But she couldn't help thinking in that direction.
It was too late, she couldn't go back now!
Ran Qingqing complained with irritation, "Have some dignity, we are eating!"
"Exactly!"
Soon, the bamboo shoot dishes were also served!
Braised bamboo shoots, shining with a lustrous red hue, looked so appetizing that one's mouth watered at the sight, as if looking at braised pork.
Spicy cold bamboo shoots, blanched to a pale yellow, with tender green scallions and bright red chili strips, offered a refreshing palette and the crunchy texture one could imagine while biting into it.
Bamboo shoot and pork rib soup was served in a clay pot, which upon uncovering, steaming vapors wafted out, bringing with it a rich and tempting aroma.
The clear and tender bamboo shoot soup with a light layer of oil glistening on the surface, the fragrance of the pork ribs and the salty aroma of cured meat, accompanied by the scent of shiitake mushrooms and fresh spring bamboo shoots, smelled incredibly inviting.
"Wow, are these dishes made from the bamboo shoots we just picked!"

"They look so delicious!"
"Our efforts weren't wasted at all, this is bliss!"
Yang Xiaochao had already started eating eagerly!
Because it was for the show, Ran Qingqing originally wanted to offer some comments, but seeing Yang Xiaochao's pace, there'd be nothing left if they ate slowly! There weren't many bamboo shoots to begin with.
Even Shi Xi, who was usually very ladylike, subconsciously swallowed seeing the fragrance!
Picking up a piece of cold bamboo shoot salad and biting into it, "crack," a subtle crunch sounded!
The texture was crisp and tender, the vinegar bringing out the faint fresh scent of the bamboo, stimulating saliva production and speeding up one's digestion, ramping up the appetite.
The hint of heat from the chili peppers, and if you savored it carefully, you could even taste a sweet aftertaste, the flavor was truly marvelous.
Shi Xi thought it might be because they were freshly picked and made on the spot, or perhaps because they had picked them by themselves with so much effort, but she felt it tasted better than any bamboo shoot she had ever had before.
The restaurant's ambiance probably played a part too!
While enjoying the bamboo shoot dishes, one could admire the view of the panda exhibit from the broad, bright windows.
The brilliant golden sunshine scattered across the vibrant green grass, and the clear stream water meandered.
The lovely surroundings made one feel joyful, and the food even more appetizing.
Ran Qingqing also praised internally, the taste of this bamboo shoot meal was simply incredible!
To maintain her idol figure while satisfying her appetite, she used to favor vegetarian restaurants, which could make vegetables taste like meat, and indeed the flavors were pretty good.
But it just didn't compare to today's bamboo shoot meal.
Serving herself some bamboo shoot soup in her small bowl, she blew on it and, smelling the rich aroma, took a spoonful and drank.
It was just too delicious!
The freshness of the bamboo shoots and the savory taste of the meat combined perfectly, creating a richly layered texture. With one sip, her entire mood soared.
Sipping the delightful soup while looking out the window for glimpses of pandas.
The staff of the filming crew, watching them eat heartily, couldn't help but swallow their saliva!
Not only filming the bamboo shoot meal but also capturing pandas through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows.
Cloud was unusually cheerful today, being lively, and now it transformed into a round ball, rolling along the edge of the enclosure.
It had rolled up to the restaurant's window! Find more to read at novelbuddy
Ran Qingqing excitedly widened her eyes and waved at Cloud, "Hi, panda!"
"Hello hello~"
The girls found it quite fun, eating their panda meals while enjoying the pandas at play.
Cloud, lost in its own world, "rolled and rolled" and slowly moved away again.
After the meal, everyone's plates were squeaky clean, with not a bit of curry sauce left!
Yang Xiaochao patted his stomach, his face a picture of bliss: "That was so so delicious! If I could eat such tasty food every day, life would be perfect."
He thought to himself that he'd definitely suggest going to a zoo if he came across an opportunity to film a program again in the future.
Ran Qingqing gave a thumbs up: "I'm not just advertising for the zoo, but I've never eaten bamboo shoots as tasty as these!"
Shi Xi covered her mouth and burped, "Uh, I think I ate too much today..."
Actually, her appetite was quite small, and usually, a single serving of the sincere Panda Curry was enough to fill her up.
Yang Xiaochao said, "It's fine, it's all bamboo shoots, they won't make you fat!"
Shi Xi laughed, "Actually, even if I gained a few pounds from this delicious meal, it would be worth it!"
"Wow, that's high praise coming from you!"
Everyone reclined in their chairs, taking a moment to relax.
Exiting the restaurant, they asked the program staff, "What are we doing next?"
"Yeah, wasn't there supposed to be a reward for the bamboo shoot picking contest? Like getting up close with animals?"
The staff smiled without a word, and while the girls were in a fog of confusion, Ran Qingqing looked around and suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
"Eh! The zoo director!"
