We grabbed breakfast from the Beach Club Marketplace again today. I chose a Chocolate twist, this was nice, loads of chocolate chips, topped with sweet icing. The pastry was alright but didnt taste that fresh.
DH chose Apple pie. This was really good, big chunks of apple, a nicely balanced cinnamon flavour, buttery pastry and crumble topping. It was very filling but he managed the whole thing.
We had an 11:30 reservation at Tusker House, for which we checked in at 11:20. There was no queue to check in and they were taking walk ups. We were one of first parties seated meaning the restaurant was very quiet and there were no queues at the buffet.
My First plate: cornbread (nice sweetness and moist), vegetable samosas (thick pastry, moist potato and pea fillng, reasonably spicy), salmon (hot, flaky, well cooked), potato wedges (nicely seasoned, crispy skin but soft centre), tofu curry (lots of flavour, lightly spiced) and corn dog nuggets (I know theyre on the kids section, but I love these and we cant get them in England.)
DHs first plate: pitta bread and hummus (both very nice) salmon, tofu curry, mash potatoes (very creamy, with a strong garlic flavour), cous cous salad, shrimp curry (he enjoyed this) and some type of sweetcorn bread (this was very dense, and didnt have a particularly strong flavour).
My second plate: chicken curry (lots of flavour but not too spicy, a mix of white and dark meat, very nice), rice (well cooked), another corn dog, mashed potato (soo good!!), cous cous (nice, slightly sweet in flavour), pitta bread, hummus and tabbouleh (all good)
DHs second plate - cornbread and butter, hummus, tabbouleh, samosa, a couple of different chutneys, plantain, sticky rice (he wasnt that keen on this, saying it was bland) more seafood curry (he said this was very good, consisting of scallops, shrimp, salmon, not very spicy but it had lots of flavour)
For dessert I had banana bread pudding which was very good, soft, dense pudding, strong banana flavour, pecans added crunchy texture served with creamy vanilla custard. I also had fruit cobbler which again very good, tart fruit and a flaky pastry topping, a chocolate cup filled with strawberry mousse and a brownie.
DH also had bread pudding and the cobbler which he agreed were good. He had a coconut macaroon which had a strong coconut flavour and was very moist, a lemon bar which was a pastry base and lemon curd filling, good but the lemon flavour could have been a little tarter for me, and a pecan bar, very sweet with plenty of pecan filling.
Overall we had another very nice meal. It was reasonably quiet, lots of selection particularly good for vegetarian food, everything was hot and fresh and was good value at $20.99.
It was very hot in AK and on our way out of the park I used a snack credit for a frozen lemonade. This melted quite quickly in the heat, but was very refreshing.
