If I close my eyes, I'm sitting in Boma!!!

When we ate at Boma in June I requested the recipe for their Ginger Carrot soup, which they promptly e-mailed to me. Well, I just made my first batch and if I close my eyes I can easily pretend I'm sitting in Boma! The recipe was so easy to follow and is absolutely delicious. We'll be at AKL again in a few days but for that long time in between trips, this is the next best thing!

Wow! Sounds interesting. Thanks! I can't remember if I ever had this or not, but I'm going to try it.

PS. Just made 2 reservations for Boma's in November.

They didn't have this soup last night.
I sampled the Bacon and Potato Soup and also some sort of Chicken Soup (tasted spicy and had the texture of Chinese Sweet & Sour soup).

Now, have the Zebra Domes gotten smaller? I remember them being the size of a Hockey Puck, now they are the size of a silver dollar?

Crazy Hakim,
Yes, you're right, we noticed that the Zebra Domes have gotten smaller too. Same great taste though! Hope you enjoyed your dinner!

Mmmmm I liked that soup. My favorite, which I tasted on the cullinary tour but they didn't have the night we dined here, was the mulligatawny.

I want to go back!

We just loved Boma, and that Mulligatawny soup - I could have eaten a gallon of it!! Dinner there was definitely our favorite meal of the whole week. I tried one of the African white wines, and it was wonderful. My DS (14) wants to be a chef, and he was just fascinated by the entire experience we had at Boma.

The carrot ginger soup was my favorite when I was there in April. Having read the ingredients, I know why!!!!

Going back to WDW in September, we already have 2 PSs for our week long stay!!! I'll report back.....
