This was kind of like our finish up day! We were headed to Cape Canaveral for our cruise the next morning so today we really wanted to visit the rest of the countries in Epcot, we had planned to have breakfast at Boma and then we usually go over to AK lodge, but we had basically done everything there.
I can't rave about Boma enough, it is sooo relaxed there.. i mean every time we have gone it is always pretty empty and it so open - you just feel very at ease. Even though this time we were sat very close to another couple lol it was almost like we were eating breakfast with them, i can't stand when restaurants have those 2 person tables SO close... it's awkwarddd
My plates
i'm really into carbs.. in the top picture is a banana nut muffin, some scrambled eggs, potatoes hidden by a croissant, and a pancaked holding a waffle...mmmmmmmm nom nom nom
the second picture is more potatoes.. they were obvi super good because i went back for more.. some kind of yogurt fruit salad which was DELISH!! everytime i have like a yogurt fruit salad at some place its so good and i try to recreate it at home and it just doesn't work out... and the star of the Boma show is in the back on picture number 2! It's the french toast bread looking thing in the back called - brioche - it has raisins and its soft and doughy with cinnamon and add their warmed syrup.. i could easily eat 3 plates of this.. but i try to control myself, don't want to get kicked out..
and this year i stayed away from the pap .. or as Dan and i like to call it.. mealie pap... don't know why we call it that but we have a really vulgar song we made up last year about how horrible it is... lol, i'd share but it's not very dis-like
Dan's plate
he pretty much ate the same stuff as me, but he had bacon and pancakes with m&m's... i swear if there are pancakes with some kind of candy add ins.. i would put money on him going straight for them!
this is the West African Frunch.. lol what a silly name.. frunch
it's really good! strong juicy flavor, you can tell there are multiple juices mixed together but they create their own flavor.. we both LOVE this and usually have 2 glasses while we are there!
we headed over to Epcot.. and since we are on vacation and we do whatever we want, we decided that while we were checking out the countries more in depth, we would get KAKI GORI!!! yea this was for sure at like 11am.. haha but whatevs.. it's ice and flavoring, not that terrible!
Kaki Gori is from a little stand in Japan called Kabuki Cafe.
I got the rainbow, basically because i have a severe case of FOMO... fear of missing out. i'm always afraid if i pick one flavor the others might be better, even though i have had this before... lol i swear i need to head over and try the kitchen sink .. all those flavors of ice cream, i'd be in heaven!!! i always get the rainbow but i end up never eating the green part which is melon, it's just not as flavorful.. but the other two flavors are cherry and tangerine.. the tangerine is really refreshing!
Dan got all tangerine, and when he saw that i stopped eating mine because the green was annoying me, being the knight in shining armor he is, he offered to switch! best. husband. ever
On the way back out we stopped to get Dan lunch.. he wanted a bratwerst and pretzel from Germany.
he basically destroyed that bratwerst... so one can only assume he thinks it's delicious, and if you like sausage/hot dog type foods im sure you will also find it yummy! I can attest to how good the pretzel is.. if you are going to get a pretzel - it needs to be from Germany, i'm not sure if they make it different or if its just cause its in the Germany pavilion.. you will NOT get a better pretzel in any of the parks!... take that to the bank!
I got a late lunch back at Pop
this was a veggie burger with pasta salad... it was... mehh... i'm sorry i wasted my time eating this LOL.. i think i just wasnt really that hungry and kind of forced myself to eat because we had really late dinner ressies...
so later that night.. we had gotten reservations for BOG. now i was so stoked to get in here because when i made the reservations was right around the time everyone was complaining they couldnt get anything for BOG - so we were able to get in for 9:30, lol which is kind of absurd to me hahah we never eat that late, but we will take it! ... i also called up prior to add a celebration on to our res because i wanted to try the grey stuff... HAHA i know, cheating the disney system... but i didn't feel guilty. lol
warm bread! sorry the pic is dark, it's so dark in the place at first i felt awkward turning the flash on but then i didn't care.
We were seated next to two older women who were so loud with their conversation, another dining experience where i felt we were eating with them.. i wasn't sure if they were on a date or a business meeting - it was for sure their first time together, so hard not to listen in.. haha i know i'm terrible.. a total eavesdropper
I started with the garden salad - it was good, it had a champagne dressing.. nothing that stood out to me.. but it was nice to get some foliage in.
Sauteed Shrimp and Scallops - with seasonal vegetables served in puff pastry with a creamy lobster sauce $22.99
this was pretty good! the only complaint i have is that i prefer my shrimp COOKED.. like ya know when shrimp is still a little .. ehh how do i describe it.. just not cooked, like soft? thats how this was. i will still eat it but i prefer it to be a little dark around the edges, ya know?! the lobster sauce was a great addition to the puff pastry, the outsides were crispy and flaky and the inside was soft and soaked with the cream sauce!
Grilled Strip Steak - with garlic-herb butter and pommes frites $29.99
Dan didn't see too many things on the menu he liked, but he really enjoyed this.. the steak is HUGE portion and the presentation is really nice! He loved the melted garlic butter on top, i tasted the fries and they were so good! Thick and crispy outside and that nice mushy steak fry middle lol.. how else to describe them ? hahah
our waiter was like... blah. and you would think being in this new restaurant you would be all excited, but no. kind of a wet rag. so after dinner we were hoping he would mention that it's a celebration and offer for us to try the grey stuff, but he didn't only brought over the dessert. so we order dessert hoping to prompt him to look again but no. so i asked him about it and said we would like to try it.. and would you believe he said, well you have to be celebrating something to have it...so i was like... oh no he didn't thats when i was like..OH WELL WE ARE CELEBRATING, im sure it says it on the ticket.. which it did.. and then tail between his legs he begrudgingly brought out our grey stuff.
there it is! the grey stuff! like all the attitude over a little swirl of mousse! ridiculous LOL.. but it was yummy and like other reports, yes it does taste like oreos!
Triple Chocolate Cupcake - chocolate sponge cake, chocolate mousse filling, and choclate ganache
we split the little chocolate cupcake.. because, well cupcakes aren't really our thing.. you know we're about that ice cream life #icecreamaddicts
overall, i'm glad we got to experience BOG, and got to meet the beast! I love the setting for meeting him in his library... p.s. he is huge! but i don't think we will go back to BOG for a while, or possibly sooner if they change the menu..
we headed back after that because tomorrow is the CRUISEEEEE!!!
