I'm so glad to see your review of Y&Y, that's on my contender list for our next trip!
Jenna took our drink orders... I needed something cold that would require a paper straw that tastes like you are sucking on a paper towel tube:
Fried cream cheese wonton skewers with pineapple & honey vanilla drizzle and vanilla ice cream $7.99:
One other note of accomplishment this meal checked off #5 from Jabeads List of 18: Have some egg rolls at Yak & Yeti, but dont forget to save room for the wonton dessert.
Note: I may not be able to post an update until I return from my business conference Friday evening. I'm not abandoning this review I just have to suffer at the St. Regis Hotel in Monarch Bay for a few days. If anyone wants to hang out and lounge by the pool come see me and I will ditch my meetings in a minute!! Here's where I will be stuck until Friday.
I'm debating between Yak and Yeti or LTT for lunch next trip. We are a house divided about it and I am the swing vote.
Y&Y looks great. I love ahi tuna, both of those items on your table sound delicious. I always thought that I could get better Chinese food at local places, so I'm glad to see that they serve more than the standard sweet and sour chicken, etc.
And great job on your list. I'm impressed!
Oh, poor you ... How will you ever make it til Friday in that place!
We, too, loved the wontons at Y&Y this trip. Didn't love them the first time we had them but I am thinking they may have been cold? I have an ADR in November for Andrew and I to go for just appetizers and that dessert. One of the very few ADRs I am making for our quick trip!
Wow your conference sounds so nice! I agree the paper straws at AK are gross to drink out of. Mine always gets so soggy towards the end I am glad you enjoyed the dessert there, I agree that I don't always have a huge appetite and that too has happen to me at Yak and Yeti. I go for the seaood curry, and the dessert is a welcome bonus for me, even though I always struggle through eating one darn won ton!
I'll be at Y&Y next month! I haven't even looked at apps or entrees! I just know I will be getting the wonton dessert!!
I do want to mention that I've read Y&Y offers a 10% AP discount??
I'm sorry you have to suffer at your business meeting lol. Can't wait for you to return and read more of your dining!!
Just read the whole thread! It was a fun way to start my day off work.
Love your photos and descriptions. You and your family are lovely to look at, and so is Mr. DDW. He has a smile that just won't quit.
I gotta go read Princess Betsey's reviews now. Thanks for posting!
I've decided that my next trip to WDW needs to be really, really long to fit in all of the restaurants I want to fit in! Now that I'm looking at the Y&Y menu, there are quite a few things there that we would enjoy. Of course the main thing on my list would be the wontons!! I'm glad to hear that they were crisp and hot for you.
I hope you can suffer through your stay at the St. Regis to make it back to us!
I'm so glad to see your review of Y&Y, that's on my contender list for our next trip!
Loved this...perfect description of the AK straws!!!
Two more points earned, one each for the egg rolls and the fried wontons. Total = 17 points
Oh, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the wonton dessert!
I would so love to hang with you at the St. Regis Hotel, but I am off tomorrow to the Sofitel Hotel and Spa in Queenstown, New Zealand. I find myself badly in need of a body wrap of Manuka honey and warm volcanic mud!
Umm I was just wondering emmysmommy or jabead, any jobs openings available?
We are gonna do Y&Y when we are there, my dad will be joining us that day and he loves Chinese/Asian foods and I. Must. Have. Wontons.
As long as the egg rolls are yummy, my dad should be happy!
I am so gutted that we missed out on our Yak & Yeti ADR Everything looks lovely. Still, at least it's soemthing to save for next time...
Thankyou so much for the review of the Yak & Yeti, Brenda. I love how Michael orders all the fish dishes because that is what I usually order. I had my eye on the ahi tuna app and now I definitely want it! Those wontons will definitely be ordered as well!
Great Yak & Yeti review - those wontons are easily my favorite thing there, so I'm glad you liked them so much!
And have a great time at your conference!
I'm debating between Yak and Yeti or LTT for lunch next trip. We are a house divided about it and I am the swing vote.
Yak and Yeti does offer the 10% discount for AP holders. Not as good as the TIW but I'll take it.
Yak & Yeti, our favorite! Great review Brenda, and the comment about the paper towel tube made me smile. That's dead on!
As much as I love Y&Y I'm just not a fan of those wontons, but they definitely look tempting in your picture. The tuna dishes look fantastic!
Oooh, nice! With those two choices there's really no way to go wrong.
My DD and I went to Yak and Yeti last month because I had to try those wontons. We were sure they would be a let down as we have found many of the Dis beloved foods. I have to say these lived up to even bit of the reputation. I loved this desert and cream cheese is not a favorite of mine. Even my incredibly picky DD, who tried it to appease me, actually really liked it (although she wouldn't touch the fruit).
I really feel so bad about what you are about to endure. I wanted to offered to go for you. Those meetings can take such a toll on you and all the pampering afterwards is just cruel!
Hello St. Rege!
Ur paper straw thing reminded me of the orange pop @ AK. [soda to most of you] IDK if they still do, but it was orange FANTA & was served in a plastic AK cup w/ no straw. It was such a sweet treat to me. IDK why. It was super icy & cold in the super HOT AK.
Back to Y&Y: I'd want the SAME meal as you Brenda. Egg rolls & rice. It looks delish!!
Once again, loving your reviews!
Mr. DDW is adorbs! (I'm several pages behind!)
We have an ADR at Y&Y and I'm still debating if we'll go the shared apps route or share the seafood curry dish. I understand having to have small meals more often, it's one of the reasons we shy away from the DDP. My stomach just couldn't take a full main dish (it can't even take a full app...) so there would be too much waste. And that's why I love Food & Wine - perfect serving size!
I am still playing catch up on your reviews but have just spotted where you are staying for you conference ...... Oh my word!!
I am green with envy!!
Excellent reviews as always, sounds like you had a really good meal at Y&Y
I am still bitter about my cold wonton experience there
Maybe I will give them another try some day
I am really looking forward to Y&Y in Dec...for one reason only...THOSE CREAM CHEESE WONTONS!!! I WILL NOT share those with anyone...mine, mine, mine!
Why did I just feel like some of the seagulls from Finding Nemo??
I hate those darn paper straws at AK, but I totally understand the need for them...but still, they are quite yucky to use.
The business trip, I could totally handle a business trip if I were staying at a hotel like THAT!
Great reviews and pics of yak and yeti. That is on my list for next year.
