Somehow despite living just blocks away for little over 2 years, I had never been drawn into here. But, now that I'm finally inside thanks to my curiosity around Lowbrow, this is one of the fanciest "food court" / arcades in the city for sure. It's got a little bit of a classic elegance vibe that is refreshed by the trendy eateries. And just to say, the toilets are very, very clean as well

Had lunch with some colleagues at Panda🐼 , located inside Queen’s Rise - a newly opened laneway style dining precinct on Queen Street. For under $12, you get a huge bowl of Wonton (雲呑/餛飩)- the wontons are plump, the wrappers are super thin and they are boiled in a light broth😋. To add a little Vietnamese flare, fried shallots are sprinkled on top for extra texture👏. A good option for a quick lunch, just don’t compare it to wontons you find at the legendary Mak’s Noodles in Hong Kong🇭🇰❗️Also recommed the Curry Chicken w Rice🥘, the portions are generous and just look at the lovely colours… The drawback of Panda for me is their pre-boiled dumplings🥟– it shouldn’t take more than 10 mins to boil frozen dumplings, but they opted to pre-cook them – I wonder how they are reheated💬... Overall, if you are after a quick and filling lunch, you won’t be disappointed with Panda’s quick service, affordable prices and the big portions...Fyi – Panda is related to Yang Guo Fu (杨国福) which is situated in the Sky World on Queen Street – they do 麻辣烫.
