Panda Red Bean Bun (20% member) ($2.80)
I remembered that I have tried it before back at 2016 with my family together. The filling for red bean was quite little and got weird taste but the bun was really dry aftertaste.
Forgot to take picture but the food slightly overpriced. Taste not terrible tho for zoo food, ordered the pao pao and chicken croissant.
Paus was $2.90 each with red bean and chocolate. Cappuccino was $6.90. The paus were cold and even had broken lines on it. Taste was ok. Cappuccino tasted abit diluted, have to wait and collect later.
Only buy this if you’re able to settle for cheap machine-brewed coffee. This cup of cappuccino tasted like a cup of froth milk, with a hint of diluted - just unimpressive coffee nodes in it. Don’t waste your time too if you’re looking for a caffeine boost... I think the coffee content was so minute compared to the milk that I felt more tired trying to finish it up. (Good news - there’s a Starbucks just right outside)
The advice nobody asked for - don’t buy if you’re looking for a good cup of coffee, buy if you’re a sucker for cute things (like me lol) and want to waste your money😔 1 star for the cute panda😔

Super huge sandwich because of the three layers of bread. The fact that it was cut into two created the illusion that was even bigger. I was impressed by how toasty and slightly buttery the bread slices were, as well as the freshly cooked, slightly runny egg yolk. However, it all amounted to a normal kind of sandwich you’d expect. After all, it’s just vegetables, cheese, ham and egg stacked together - nothing much you can expect.
Side of wedges came extremely crisp!

Priced at $2.90 each, i believed i paid only for the photos. The filling was super little.... the ratio of bread to filling is 3:1. Taste wise, it was mediocre. However the bun was very cute.
We ordered the panda baos in chocolate custard and red bean both, the garlic potato wedges and the club sandwiches to share. Surprisingly, it didn't cost us a $50 😅
It tastes good. Not too bad for a once in a while. 👍🏻
It has been quite awhile since my last visit to Singapore’s River Safari! Had a fun time exploring River Safari this weekend! Not super crowded, with just the right amount of crowd for a peaceful time to watch/view the animals☺️
Nice pitstop to relax and chill after exploring the River Safari. Buns were served hot and fluffy. Cute snack was $2.90 each
The soup was pretty tasteless, which made it seem like a healthier counterpart to the fried chicken. The fried chicken cutlet was good, but the noodles really did not have much flavour to it. Overall a mediocre meal but not complaining since it is rather affordable considering the location. Would probably try something else here!

This spicy chicken tasted like mala chicken. I liked the flavour but sadly the portion of chicken wasn’t really generous. There were 5 relatively small pieces with rice as well as a lot of other vegetables, which wouldn’t be really worth $10.90 outside but for the River Safari it is considerably a reasonable price.. still a decent food option in a tourist place though!

After eating a few mouth, i decided i needed to post a review that the noodles is just plain and no taste whatsoever.
The chicken was the only saving grace.
Chicken Cutlet Ramen - $10.90
Chicken Zha Jiang Mien - $11.90
The bun was soft and fluffy, with the chocolate custard being creamy and not too sweet. The service was fast too, as the buns were pre-made and served within minutes when there's no queue. An interesting eat to try our for less than $3.
A must try when visit panda! They have chocolate and red bean flavors to choose! #burpple #burpplesg #panda
Really? Panda's favourite food? Ordered the chocolate custard Panda bun, and as expected more of bun than custard :/ Nevertheless this is an artwork that appeals to both adults and children!
他们说这是嘉嘉凯凯熊猫们最爱吃的食物 😅 熊猫吃熊猫吗? 不过点心这么可爱，大家忍心把它给吃了吗?
After seeing the adorable jiajia & kaikai, we had to eat their fave treats. I like the chocolate custard bun. At $2.90 each, this place does marketing right. Still, a nice pit stop while at river safari.
Ps. This place sells rice bowls too from $10
Red bean and choco custard ($2.90 ea), decent with thick, smooth fillings, you have to have or you've not been to the River Safari! It's the one time I could say, Darling, I ate Jiajia and Kaikai. And he was horrified 😱 so I was pleased. Also to make him a 🐼 face mask, tearing the bun's skin upwards from the bottom 🤦🏽♂️
I finally get to try these cute little panda baos yesterdate :) nothing to shout about although the side dishes, surprisingly, have a home cooked kinda feel #burpple
Good spot with super cute paus - enjoyable break after the walk through the 'rivers' in the river safari. Gyoza and wanton could be more tender, personally preferred the prawn wantons as they were lighter than the meat in the gyoza. Lotus root crisps were thin, could be crispier. Coffee was average and in a rather large serving, good for sharing.
