Red Panda Bistro: Chinese and European Cuisine (Kapitolyo Pasig)

Kapitolyo, Pasig, Metro Manila, Philippines

One random Saturday night, the family went to Kapitolyo in search for a new restaurant to try.  The unique logo of Red Panda Bistro caught our attention.  It was very classy and creative at the same time.  It was a sleeping panda and a wine glass in one.

It had a few parking spaces.

We were so happy with the ambiance.  It was so casual but so chiq.

It has a big and clear glass window so you can see almost all parts of its kitchen.

There's a delicatessen by the far end before the stairs leading to the second floor  We loved the stylish lofts so we decided to seat here.

There's also a chiller and a freezer by the deli.

The menu offers two parts: European Cuisine and Chinese Cuisine.

Food

European Soups
pumpkin and apple soup
Pumpkin and Apple Soup Sharing (495 php)
The Pumpkin and Apple Soup gave us such a nice first impression.  The moment we sipped into this wonderful concoction, we all knew we chose the right establishment to dine that night. 

European Salads

Crispy Chicken Mango Salad Sharing (400 php)
The Crispy Chicken Mango Salad is a refreshing salad with bread chicken strips, romaine lettuce, diced ripe mangoes, grape slices and mango dressing.

European Pastas
truffled roasted duck stuffed ravioli
Truffled Roasted Duck Stuffed Ravioli (280 php)
I love ravioli so I have encountered more than a handful.  Yet, I have never seen one so colorful and articulate as the Truffled Roasted Duck Stuffed Ravioli.

Inside is diced roasted duck well-complemented by truffle cream sauce.

Platters/A La Carte
souvide beef short ribs
Sousvide Beef Short Ribs (380 php)
The Sousvide Beef Short Ribs is so tender that it almost falls of the bone.  This has a nice Chinese fusion twist to the usual American sweet barbecue sauce.  

Chinese Rice Dishes

Anchovies Fried Rice Sharing (460 php)
The Anchovies Fried Rice is not as spectacular as the rest but it goes well with the other viands we had.


Chinese Desserts
tricolored buchi
Tricolored Buchi (85 php)
The Tricolored Buchi is buchi filled with dark chocolate.  Had I been new to the concept, I would have been intrigued.  But, after trying the ones from Kabila, Wee Nam Kee and Chow Fun, I was not impressed as the flavored food coloring was a contrast to the chocolate fillings.

Pastries
red panda
I forgot what this Cinnamon bun was called.  It was from the deli and pre-heated before serving.  It was just okay.

Beverages
red panda iced tea
Red Panda Iced Tea (160 php)
 We ordered the Red Panda Iced Tea just because we were enticed by the glass.  It was delicious.

Basil Ice Cream
The deli also serves Jack Frost Premium Ice Cream.  Finally, the family got to try their Basil Ice Cream and they loved it as much as I did.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I don't know why Red Panda Bistro didn't have a high rating from food reviewers (as I've checked around the net).  I'm very impressed with Red Panda Bistro and I'd surely be glad to try more of their dishes.
