Hi Pearl,
Yay!! Thanks for coming back. I love your reviews!!!
Thank you!
i've never had one either , and I hope with the DDxP I will have enough room to remove yet another " must try" from the list , there seems to be a theme every trip , either pretzles , cookies , last year it was corn dogs and frozen cokes
nice to have you back Pearl !
I didn't even try half of the stuff I thought I wanted. I really wanted a jalapeno cream cheese pretzel! oh well.
Thanks for the great reviews so far! I'm getting super excited for my upcoming trip!
I don't usually stop at the Main Street Bakery, but I think that I may have to stop there this summer--that cinnamon bun looks amazing!
We've never stopped there either. It was a good breakfast and they really enjoyed that sugary, buttery mess.
Thanks for coming back, Pearl!
Although I am a full fledged carnivore, I was looking forward to other offerings I wouldn't normally think to get. We will be traveling with a large group in October and not all of them enjoy meat as much as I do.
It will be great to have a different perspective and possibly offer some advice based on your review.
Thanks! I hope I can help with your upcoming trip.
I had a chef come out to speak to me at Tusker House and Sanaa when I was eating vegan. Totally wasn't necessary at Sanaa, since they have an entirely vegan menu, but it was helpful at Tusker House.
It was unnessasary sometimes, but very helpful for others. It was a good experience overall.
Yay!!! Welcome back Pearl.
Thanks! I happy to be back.
I'm with you on getting things like mashed potatoes on your dessert plate!!! Can't wait to read more!
Gotta love mashed potatoes! Thanks!
welcome back!!!
So glad to see all your wonderful photos and reviews. Crystal Palace looks yummy. I have Boma for breakfast one morning and these photos make me more excited.
Thanks. We had Boma for breakfast once on this trip and I loved it! You'll see my review for that later on.
Some of the stand outs that looked delish are the couscous, broccoli (doesn't look limp and overcooked), and the raspberry cake. I wonder if it is similar to what they have at breakfast??
Anyhoo.. it all looks lovely and what a great way to spend a family meal!
That broccoli was perfectly al dente. Loooved it. I'm not sure what they have for breakfast.
Great reviews so far, Pearl... and I'm so glad to see you back!
Thanks! I'm trying to do good.
Yay! I so wanted to hear the rest of your reviews! We love CP for breakfast but have never eaten lunch or dinner there. Looks like it was ok, but sounds like I'm not missing too much by always doing breakfast!
Yeah, it was good. Just not great. Never had breakfast there though!
Can you believe I have still never had a cinnamon roll from Main St Bakery. I am definitely, definitely having one on our next trip. And there will be no drama queen antics with stomach-clutching and the like - I intend to eat the whole darn thing
Crystal Palace lunch looked good. We love breakfast there
It comes highly recommended from both Dad and the drama queen.
But good luck!
I too love the mashed potatoes at Crystal palace...although I am a carnivore...I LOVE the cornbread thingie too...I will remember the name of course LATER...My husband always gets a few plates that have that on it...We always do the dinner at the palace...
I am a diabetic so I try to avoid the carbs ..but there I sort of splurge...hahaha..get more then I should ..
Thanks for your reviews
I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Let me know if you remember!
Sooo good though. Thanks for reading!
Great review of CP! I am very glad to have you back!
Thanks! I'm happy to be back!
I did! I ate a whole one and the belly ache (amongst other ailments b/c I don't react well to dairy) was TOTALLY WORTH IT! My sons and husband saved their snack credits and got at least 6 of these for our drive home! You should have seen us packed into the SUV, trying to fit all these boxes of massive cinnamon rolls with us!
Wow! That is too funny!
That was one good cinnamon roll.
), but I'm thinking vegan should be one of the things you can check off when you make your reservation. A lot of dishes use meat stock or fat for flavouring, and only the chef knows, unless it's explicitly advertised as a veg option. Some people wouldn't be fussed if a little animal product slipped through. For others - for ethical or religious reasons - it could be very upsetting.
