Another shared lunch at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe
Once we had finished our shared lunch at Cantina de San Angel we strolled through the Mexican Pavillion and did the boat ride. Then we walked on to Norway and did the Maelstrom ride before we decided to share another lunch at the Kringla Bakeri og Cafe.
We decided to share a freshly made toasted ham and cheese sandwich, which was huge and delicious!
The sandwich came with either a bowl of soup or some salad. We chose the salad. It was fresh and quite a big salad, but that was it, a salad in a plastic container.
Our dessert was the Kringla Sweet Pretzel. We had the chocolate one
and Mary Ellen and Joe had the same sandwich and the almond Pretzel. Actually we did not like either pretzel, but at least we have tried them.
So what did we actually cost Disney?
Kringla Bakeri og Cafe = $ 19,40
5 CS credits = $ 88,90 (18 CS credits remain)
2 TS credits = $ 80,80 (22 TS credits remain)
Riverside Mill = $ 7,00 (22 snack credits remain)
all in all = $ 196,10
Next up - dinner at Sanaa

mmmmm, more great pics. so hungry now
we're flying into Miami from LHR, and will make our way up via Ft Lauderdale and Naples and possibly Clearwater, probably get to Orlando around the 11th/12th, for 10/11 nights
. Disney UK site has some good free dining deals again, so might do 5 nights onsite, and then want to stay at Universal, and then prob JW Marriott for some chill out time at the end.....where is the CSR thread you've talked about?

Yummy looking sandwich and those pretzels look huge!
The pretzels are a bargain - easily to share between two people.
Great pictures - thanks for sharing
I would never have really thought about eating at the CS in Norway but that sandwich looks really good and fresh and would make a wonderful afternoon snack
The sandwiches are such a nice change from the usual burgers, wraps and chicken fingers! They were yummyyyyyyyyyy!

.......... and still day 19, Sept 2
Dinner at Sanaa
We spent some more time at Epcot, rode a few more rides, then drove over to Old Key West and spent a relaxed afternoon with Mary Ellen and Joe.
After driving them to their resort, they stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, Tom and I drove to the Animal Kingdom and went on the Safari and rode Everest a few times, then went on It's tough to be a bug and had a lot of Photopass pics taken.
We left the Animal Kingdom around 8pm to drive to Kidani Village for our dinner at Sanaa. Once we had parked the car we made our way over to the restaurant. From where we were told to park it was quite a hike!!
We checked in a few minutes early, were handed a buzzer and told that we could go outside and watch the animals which we did. Our buzzer went off just on time and we were led to a table in the middle of the restaurant. Let me tell you the restaurant is stunning!
Tom and I are both adventurous eaters, but African/Indian is not quite my daily routine, so I was a bit sceptic about this restaurant.
First thing we noticed was the hidden Mickey on the table!
We both ordered a Diet Coke and some adult drinks!
Tom opted for the African Starr Mojito - Starr African Rum, Van der Hum Tangerine Liqueur from South Africa, fresh mint, lime. Tom LOVED it. Me too!!
I had the Kande Coconut Cooler - refreshing combination of Starr African Rum, coconut, vanilla ice cream and orange juice, which I loved even MORE! I love sweet drinks where you cannot taste the alcohol too much and that was just up my street.
As always we shared an appetizer.
We ordered the Sampler for Two - Potato and Pea Samosa, Pulled Duck with Red Curry Sauce, Roasted Cauliflower.
Potato and Pea Samosa. Had this for the first time and boy, did I like it!! Crisp shell and a spicy filling.
Pulled Duck with Red Curry Sauce. Very yummy duck and the sauce was not overpowering. Very good!
And here is my absolute favourite! The Roasted Cauliflower!! I love my cauliflower - not the mush and cooked to death stuff, but with a little crunch and some spice. This was just heavenly. It was spicey and in a batter and went perfectly with the tomato sauce they served it with! Tom had one - I had the rest, I traded my duck for this yummy starter!
My main course was the Slow Cooked in Gravy, Simple and Well Seasoned
Shrimp with Green Curry Sauce and Beef Short Ribs served with Basmati Rice.
This picture does not do the shrimps justice. They were moist and spicy and there was plenty of it. Tom had to help me finish them off!
The Beef Short Ribs were fork tender and so well seasoned. Tom had a bite and he loved them too! I would order that dish again in a heartbeat.
The Basmati Rice was spiced with some kind of seeds. I THINK the server said it were cumin seeds, but I am not sure! All I can say is ..... I am not a huge rice lover, but that rice I could eat any time!
Tom had the Tandoori Lamb Chops! Not only was this a huge helping, but it was cooked perfectly and it was to die for!
For dessert I chose the Cardamom-Butter Cake, Orange Supreme with Saffron Syrup, a recommendation from our server.
Tom had the Chai Cream.
Did we like our desserts? Hmmmmmmm .................
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were both disneyliscious!!!
We were just so stuffed when we wobbled back to our car and drove back to Old Key West. There is something about the "Welcome home" greeting there that makes me SO happy. We sat out on our balcony with a glass of Silverado for me and some beer for Tom for quite a while, before we both fell into bed!
So what did we actually cost Disney?
6 CS credits = $ 108,30 (18 CS credits remain)
Sanaa = $ 59,10
2 TS credits = $ 80,80 (20 TS credits remain)
Riverside Mill = $ 7,00 (22 snack credits remain)
all in all = $ 255,20

Next up - lunch at Wolfgang Puck's Express
