Dinner
After a long day at the "Dark Side" to see The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I was super-duper hungry! Good thing I had dinner already booked, and I was so ready when I arrived! Of course I was early, as I always am for ADRs. But it wasn't terribly long after I checked-in that I was lead to a table by the windows overlooking the Magic Kingdom. And I knew I'd still be there for Wishes. Pixie dust, yay!
Onto the yums! Apologies in advance for how dark these are. As you'll see as this report progresses, my phone's camera doesn't love the low lighting in most restaurants, and I hate using a flash and try to avoid it when I can.
Island Sunrise. Or Island Breeze. Or something.
Okay, so I don't remember what my frozen slushie cocktail was called, but it was delicious, okay!
See? DEEEEE-licious!
Ohana Welcome Bread.
Good, but I was careful to only eat a little bit. Have to save room for the good stuff!
Lettuce Wraps.
Like many others, I was thoroughly unimpressed. Took one or two bites and pushed it away.
Pork Fried Dumplings & Honey Coriander Chicken Wings.
Now THIS is more like it! YUM! These "appetizers" are my favorite part of the whole meal!
Lo Mein Noodles (Tossed in peanut sauce with pineapple) and Stir-Fried Vegetables.
I love these noodles! Love love love! I had to be very careful not to eat them ALL before the meat skewers came. As for the vegetables, I just picked out all the delicious mushrooms and ate those by themselves.
Asian Barbequed Pork Loin.
This was actually pretty inconsistent. One piece inside was just very very slightly pink and totally juicy and yummy. The other was white and dry. So I wanted to take a chance on getting more yummy pieces so I asked for more pork, but it never came.
Marinated Sirloin Steak.
This was good! I'm a big steak girl, and I'm pretty picky about it. It wsn't overcooked at all, it fact was pretty much a perfect medium rare.
Okay, so my camera makes this look WAY darker red that it was. It looks pretty rare here, but I promise, it was more medium rare. And perrrfect. I ate, like, 3-4 servings of it. I'm such a fatty.
And because I'm a fatty, I had to order more dumplings and wings and noodles!
Ohana Bread Pudding - Served a la mode with Bananas, vanilla ice cream and Caramel Sauce.
God, I love this stuff. Sadly, I was so full there was no way I was finishing it off. But I did put a healthy dent in it, then slowly rolled myself back to Pop Century for the night!
