Disappearing Peep Ditches Diet on the DDP! Lots of Pics! - Completed pg. 11!

Sorry for the long break. I hate being sick! Okay on with the food! For some reason on this day I have a ton of Boma pics and not much of everything else. I thought I took a picture of the schoolbread? Anyway, we spent most of this day in Epcot. For lunch we decided to eat in Mexico. Of course, we had to stop at the Electric Umbrella to get DS his chicken strips and french fries (no pics of this – but it looks like all the other chicken and fries he ate this week).

Lunch – Cantina de San Angel

View from outside seating – very pretty.

Plato Combinacion - chicken taco, beef burrito and a quesadilla served with black refried beans and Mexican salsa – I can’t remember who all ordered this, but several of us did. The quesadilla is the folded one on top, the burrito has the cheese on it and the other is the chicken taco. I was hungry, so I ate everything except the beans (I don’t like beans). Everything was very good. Pretty typical Mexican fare. I especially liked the chicken taco. We all had a churro with our meal. I love churros! As a teenager, I spent two years in Spain (dad was air force) and I remember eating churros. In case, you have never had one – a churro is fried dough rolled in cinnamon sugar – YUM! You can kind of see two churros up there by the drink.

Cantina Nachos - tortilla chips, beef, cheese, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, sour cream, black refried beans – my DD ordered this. It was good! Typical nachos.

dispic2148.jpg


I enjoyed the outside CS much more than the inside TS. My family just did not like San Angel Inn last year – too authentic I think. But the CS is regular Mexican food that everyone is used to. A

Snack – Kringla Bakeri og Café

I was not at all hungry, but determined to try School Bread. So I stopped in here and used a snack credit to purchase this delicious treat. I am very sorry, I thought I took a picture of this. Let me try to describe it and you can probably fine a pic somewhere on here. Okay, first of all it is huge. I at on this for 3 days! It is a round sweet white bread about 8 inches in diameter. Inside there is this delicious, thick, sweet custard! Then on top there is a light, sugary glaze with a lot of coconut flakes and another big glop of custard. Since no one in my family likes coconut. I got to eat this all by myself! I highly recommend this pastry, it was better than the one I had from France last year. A

Gelato from Italy

We passed a gelato cart in front of Italy and the cute little guy talked us into trying “the best gelato – better than ice cream – in the world!” I was skeptical – I am a big ice cream fan. The chocolate and vanilla gelatos were very good. Rich, creamy ice cream. I did not care for the lemon, but it was okay. The strawberry was also very good, a little creamier than ice cream. Sorry, no pics here either. If you pass one of these carts, you should try one. A

Later tonight, I will try to post the Boma installment - it is kind of lengthy.

Later tonight, I will try to post the Boma installment - it is kind of lengthy.

WE typically always eat at the CS in Mexico. When DD was younger it was very easy to share. Wh DH and I have our alone trip in May I will have to try the schoolbread--it sounds very yummy! I did not care to much for Boma--but it was an off night for me. It was the first meal that I put together for our big family trip a couple of years ago. Out 10 hour drive turned into 12.5 hours and 2 hours we were in the same spot. Not fun. We were very rushed to get there. I may try it again someday. It was DH fav. place.
 
Wow, that school bread sounds great! I wish I could have seen it though! :)
That mexican food looks yummy too, much better than the cheese and crackers I ate today! :lmao:
 
For some reason I can't see some of the food pictures especially in the first posts. Can somebody tell me what to do? :confused:
 


Stacey........loved the school bread! I was on my way to Coral Reef for dinner but stopped to pick some up and DD ate about half! I gave her my card and sent her back for more. I love coconut too and it was delish!

School Bread Picture
 
Mmmmm kona food looks fab:)
Kona was fab! You should try it next time!

Hi Stacey, thought I'd come over and check out your Dining Review and it's great. Thanks for showing us all those yummy photo's we're probably going to several of those so now I'll know what to order.

Boma is on my list of maybe's so can't wait for that.

Hope your hip is feeling better.

Thanks for the well wishes. It is a little better tonight. Boma is great! I am about to post that review now!

Where are you?? I am loving your dining reviews...don't stop now or I will be up all night waiting for your next installment! I am eager :banana: to hear about the school bread as I have never tried it.

Sorry, you had to wait. Thanks for reading! School bread is fantastic!

Thanks! :banana: popcorn::
And I must say, you have such a pretty smile! Makes me smile everytime I see your posts. :)

Sorry you're not feeling good S.Poppins! :(

I love Glenda's smile too! Thanks, for the encouragement! I am feeling better.

must......have....more.....food.....porn!:banana: popcorn::

More is on the way!

Looking forward to the rest of your food review. YUMMY!!

I am glad you are enjoying it.

You should definitely give Boma another chance! School bread is fabulous, check out the picture Melinda posted.

Melinda posted a picture of school bread below. It was great.

That is strange. Maybe check with tech support?

School Bread Picture

Thank you so much for posting the link to the picture! I felt really bad that I did not have a picture to post.
 
After Epcot we decided to go back a little early to rest and DH and kids went swimming. Then we dressed and headed to Boma. I was so excited about the AKL, hoping to stay there on our next trip. This is me and the kids in the lobby. If you have not visited this resort, you should. It is beautiful.

We had a really cute server, Kea, ("pronounced "Kia", like the car") who was very friendly. My DS fell in love immediately and flirted outrageously! :love:

animallodge003.jpg


This is my DS’s African meal – he is such an adventurous eater! For some reason this meal looks familiar????

animallodge005.jpg


The buffet is huge! Where to start! I ended up getting a bowl of crab soup first. Wow – amazing. My favorite dish of the night – I ate 2 bowls. AKL sent me the recipe for this one, not sure I will be making it anytime soon. It was rich, creamy, slightly sweet, and a little spicy. Delicious. :cloud9:

animallodge004.jpg


Then I tried the Butternut Squash Soup – nope, not my cup of tea. Tasted like pumpkin pie soup – I hate pumpkin pie. So if you like that type of thing then you might like this. Then I got a plate of salad. Starting with the green salad on the right and working around clockwise. On the right is Quinua (sp.) Salad – Spicy horseradish flavor. Decent. I liked it, kind of had a kick to it.
Watermelon Rind salad – yuck (ginger and grenadine) This was horrible! Bitter.:scared:
Kool Salaii (sp.) – Cole Slaw –ok, tasted like pretty normal cole slaw.
Pasta Salad – Sweet, very good – bell pepper and onion. Great sauce.
Calamari Salad – kind of spicy – excellent. It was the best salad.:thumbsup2
Fried Plantain Corn Salad (I think) – Odd, sweet and vinegar flavor.
Grapefruit and Avocado Salad – (pictured in the middle) Good. Also had a sweet taste.

animallodge009.jpg


Coconut curried seafood chowder – next to the crab soup, this was my other favorite soup. Had a creamy, sweet taste with lots of shrimp. It had mussels in it too (which almost prevented me from trying it), but I never tasted the mussels. I received this recipe too – lots of ingredients.

animallodge010.jpg


On my next plate, I tried some of the meats and vegetables.
Boboti – (pictured at the top)Meat pie. Sweet and rich. Pretty good. Kind of heavy with unusual spices. One serving was enough.
Flank Steak – (laying on top of Boboti)Kind of tough, chewy, spicy – different spices. Ok
Potatoes with Afritude – (to the left of Boboti) These were like spicy roasted potatoes – good.
Raisin Rice – (bottom of plate) yellow rice with white raisins – this was okay.
BBQ salmon – (tiny serving below prime rib) don’t like salmon, but this was good.
Prime Rib – excellent. Next to the prime rib are the different sauces. I liked all of them. :thumbsup2

animallodge011.jpg


Next plate ( I tried it all so I could take good notes and share it with all of you): Starting at top and working around clockwise.
Salad with Apple Vinagrette – good, dressing was very sweet.
Cous Cous – tasted a lot like Rice a roni, not so good.
Pap and Sheeba (sp,) – Sweet grits with tomato like sauce? No, didn’t care for this.
Fou Fou (sp.) – Sweet and White potatoes. Mostly sweet – not good, don’t like sweet potatoes unless they are fried or with pecans.
Roasted Veggies – alright, some unique seasonings.
African Fruit Salad – Good, with a creamy sauce.
Potato salad – This was really good, if I had not been so full, I would have gotten more.:)

animallodge013.jpg


Dessert plate: Start at top and work around clockwise.
Chocolate Mousee – alcohol punch to it. Sweet, rich chocolate. Fave!:thumbsup2
Fruit – was fruit
Peach Crumble – Crunchy – This was alright.
Chocolate Chip Cookie – good
Banana Bread Pudding with vanilla sauce – good but not Ohana, white sauce was sweet and creamy.
Flourless Choc. cake – (middle of plate) ok, kind of a bland chocolate cake.
Banana Canoli – (next to the cake) I did not like this. The liqueur was too strong.
Fruit tart – Great, liked this and the mousse the best.
Zebra Dome – pretty good. I didn’t get all the rave reviews about this. You could definitely taste the liqueur. They used a liqueur in many of their desserts! Maybe that is why we all felt so happy eating here!
Rice pudding with chai or something – (tiny thing next to zebra dome) gross, just gross.:sad2:

Here is a pic of how they serve everything. This is one of the salad sections.

This is just a shot of the inside of Boma

animallodge016.jpg


Boma was one of my favorite restaurants. I loved the variety. There really is something for everyone. The coffee was also great. The desserts were a little lacking IMO. But I was so full by then it did not matter. The service was also very good. We will eat here again. A
Tomorrow: Pizzafari in AK and Le Cellier in Canada.
 


Thanks for the great detailed Boma review. Even with all the great reviews, I had my reservations about this one....not for me......for the family. I noticed your son had chicken tenders, fries, mac & cheese again. Would you recommend this for a family of picky eaters and one adventurous mom? :confused3

Hope you are feeling better today. :hug:
 
Hey Melinda! Yes, I would. My DH is a meat and potatoes guy and you saw my DS's plate. There is a lot of ordinary food. Salad, soups (like 5 kinds), prime rib, potatoes, desserts. Nobody left hungry. I could've made a meal off the crab soup (which my DH also loved), salads, and prime rib. It also gives you the chance to checkout AKL. I highly recommend this one.
 
Thanks for the great detailed review!! :goodvibes We will be going there in February and I really appreciated all the descriptions of the food! I also liked the pictures of the restaurant! Great, thank you! :)

You will love this place! I am glad you are enjoying it!
 
Thanks for the reviews. :thumbsup2

Do you happen to remember what day of the week that you ate at Boma? I know the menu rotates and what you described sounds like the menu that we're trying to get. Thanks

We were there on a Tuesday night. I am not sure about how the rotations work.

The picture of the school bread is HUGE! Is that one snack credit?

The school bread was huge. And yep, one snack credit. Only $2.50 OOP. Wonderful!
 
Oh how I wish the School Bread didn't have coconut on as I don't like that but it looks so yummy. Thanks for the Boma review but I think the food will be too spicey for my family, me included, but I so want to visit AKL and be nosey!
 
Glad to read that you are feeling better. Your review of Boma almost makes me wish we'd gone there in October - oh well, perhaps another time. We're going to be trying Jiko when we head back to WDW in May so at least we'll finally make it over to the AKL.

Your food porn is now making me hungry - did mine do that to you? Is this payback? :lmao: :lmao:

Keep up the great work! :thumbsup2
 
Stacey,

You are so detailed! Thanks for the porn!!

You know, I don't like coconut either. But this I loved! I wouldn't call their food spicy (I'm cajun at heart), just spiced differently. Some of their stuff had very little spice. You might want to try it one day.

You are my food porn idol! Yes after reading your reviews, I would pour over menus and reconsider all my adrs! Thanks for the props!

Stacey,

You are so detailed! Thanks for the porn!!

I am trying to follow in Brenda's footsteps! If you want good food porn - click on her dining review. Mr. Disney is also great! I am trying to find time to sit down and read all of your trip report!

Trying to get another installment up tonight! I am having a bad hip night. I go to the dr. tomorrow. Just found out that DH has a bad prostate infection and we have to take him for an ultrasound tomorrow. Not sure who is taking who to the dr.?
 
Stacey,

You are just having a heck of a time! I'll be thinking about you! :hug: I'll send you some :wizard: so you can get back to the great dining reviews! I still haven't made all of my ADR's for our April trip.

Yeah, Jo, I agree with Stacey. It's not spicy....it very flavorful. There wasn't anything I found too spicy, and I'm a wimp. I have a low tolerance for spicy hot food.


Stacey: Great Job! :thumbsup2 I'm really enjoying your food porn. Wish we had smell-o-internet! Forget about Mickey... I'm looking forward to all the good eats! :banana: Shhh... don't tell DS! :rolleyes1
