We used snack credits again for breakfast today, this time at Kringla Bakery in Epcot. Again we'd picked up the snacks when leaving Epcot the previous day.
We shared a School Bread and a cinammon roll. The school bread was gorgeous as ever, but so much smaller than they were a couple of years ago. I love the creamy, custard style filling and there was plenty of coconut flavour from the toasted coconut topping.
The cinnamon bun was very sweet with thick, caramel icing. The pastry was flaky and soft, a good cinnamon roll, but a stronger caramel flavour than cinnamon.
We had a 12:00 lunch reservation today at Sci Fi Diner. Although the food is never brilliant here, we just love the theming and always try to fit in a lunch here.
They were really busy at check in, and we were told they were running about 20 minutes behind. It's a small check in area with very limited seating, and as you're not given a pager everyone was just standing around waiting.
We were finally seated at 12:20, and our waiter greeted us straight away. He was very friendly, but the service seemed much slower paced than it usually is there, we were there over an hour for a 2 course meal, whereas normally they're rushing you to turn over the tables.
To drink I had a Marsha's Martian, which was Baileys, Kahlua and Chocolate milkshake. It was very good, but very sweet and you were able to taste the Baileys and Kahlua.
DH had an Oreo cookie milkshake which was also very good. Very thick and chocolatey, with plenty of oreo crumbs.
For an appetiser we shared the Double dip for two, which was chilli and a spinach and cheese dip. The chilli was very good, not too spicy and packed with plenty of kidney beans (which I love), topped with grated cheese and hopped tomatoes. The spinach and artichoke dip was creamy, with a thick cheese topping. There were plenty of chips, overall a nice, filling appetiser.
While ordering our server pointed out that although the dip served two, it only counted as one appetiser on the dxddp, so we could order another app if we wanted. DH decided to get the onion rings, which he said were very good, thick rings of onion, crispy batter and served nice and hot.
My entree was the chicken sandwich with bruschetta topping, and bean salad. The bread was very soft, the chicken was a whole breast which was a little dry, and the tomato topping was nice. It could have done with more topping, as overall it was quite a dry sandwich. The bean salad was ok, the beans, apple pieces and onion were tasty, but there was lots of celery in it (which I can't stand!).
The veggie option was Seared Marinated Tofu with a mango glaze. DH said the tofu had been well marinated and had a good flavour to it, the mango sauce had a hint of spice to it, served with crunchy beansprouts and well cooked rice. Overall he really liked this dish.
We skipped dessert as we were both full, so our waiter allowed us to have bottled water in place of dessert which was nice of him. Overall we enjoyed our meal here, the theming is so good everyone should try it at least once.
On the way out of DHS we stopped at Starring Rolls to get tomorrows breakfast. We chose two cupcakes and we had a couple of bites of them that afternoon (they looked too good to wait until the next day!). I had a butterfinger cupcake, which was a soft cake, with tons of frosting, coated in chocolate butterfinger pieces. It was so sweet you could only eat a little at a time, and even after nibbling on it for the next two days, some of it still had to be thrown out.
DH had a chocolate peanut butter one, which was very similar to mine but he said it had a strong peanut butter flavour. Very good use of a snack credit, but in the future we'd definitely get one to share between us!

They are making me hungry sitting here. One day I hope to try the deluxe dining plan.

). I want to say it was only $3 though I am going back to 2006 here.
