Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that despite not making any PS before my trip, we still got to eat everywhere we wanted on this trip.
We made it to
Jiko dinner (we made a PS at guest relations 5 minutes before our PS time!)
Boma dinner (we made a PS 12 hours before our PS time)
Marakesh dinner (made a PS 3 hours before PS time)
Teppanyaki lunch (made a PS less than 24 hours before PS time)
Sci Fi Dine In lunch(made PS 3 hours before PS time)
Liberty Tree Tavern dinner(made a PS 6 hours before PS time)
The rest were all counter service (because that's what we wanted, and we also did resort room service for breakfast one day).
All meals were delicious, the best was Jiko followed by Marakesh and Tappanyaki. I can not even say enough good about these places.
Jiko we practically walked into on our first night at AKL. It was the best food I've ever had. I had the roasted chicken and Chris (my SO) had one of the beef dishes. I can not recall which though, but we each sampled each others food and I think I can safely say there is not a bad thing on the menu. Tamarind sauce is scrumptious (as anyone reading my trip report knows, I now am a very big fan of the Tamarind sauce!). My only regret was that I didn't get wine with my dinner. I had just gotten off a plane and really wanted some soda. Next time!
Our waiter was okay, a little slow towards the end bringing us the bill so we could head out but we did not mind.
Marakesh is one of our classic faves. I get the chicken kebobs and rice and Chris gets the shish kabobs and they were even better this time than the last. We usually get sodas with our meals and end the night with a couple of Marakesh expresses (very yummy tropical drink). The bread they serve is great and our waiter was excellent and even brought me extra rice and bread after I said how much I loved it.
Teppanyaki was another first for us this trip. I had the steak and chicken combo and Chris had the filet minion. I loved the way they cook at the table, and we were seated next to some really nice people. We ate with our chopstick. The food was perfect, and filling and I'll definately eat there again.
Boma was terrific. The only problem I had with Boma was our waitress, who at one point actually removed my plate that still had food on it. I told her I was still eating and she ignored me and walked away with my plate. I mean, it is a buffet so I could get more, but still, I hate wasting food so that annoyed me. The food itself was great though, everything was hot and the buffet lines were not bad. I think I sampled a little of everything and it was all good. I really loved that they had Tamarind sauce which I think I added to everything... the rice with coconut in it is awesome. We were also seated next to the most miserable family on the planet so that did take from our enjoyment of the meal also. They did nothing but complain about everything and the woman kept sliding over and was practically on Chris' lap at one point (bench style seating). We'd eat here again, but Jiko would be our first choice.
We like diner food so we love the Sci Fi and go here every trip. I think the burgers there are great and the fries are my favorite kind. Chris likes the shakes there. Service was great and food came out quickly and hot.
LTT is always very tasty, but we found that since we have no childrem the characters were ignoring us this time, for the most part and the service is awful. We had the same waitress this time as we did in Dec. and she is horrendous. I'm not one to complain about service, but it took us over 2 hours to get out of LTT. We'll go back for the food but I really hope we don't get this waitress again.
In room dining for breakfast was wonderful. It arrived on time and was very good. It's a lot of food though, so be prepared to be stuffed!
The rest of our food was counter service which, although it took an insane amount of time between ordering and actually getting the food, was all okay. We ate at Electric Umbrella, Cosmic Rays, Pizzafari and Backlot Express. They were what they were.
Now my goal is to find somewhere to order Tamarind sauce so I can use it at home.

The bellydancer is very entertaining. It's adorable when she has the little girls in the audience come up and dance with her. There was this little girl, she must have been about 2 years old, who went up and started just sort of jumping around dancing. It was too cute. There was another little girl dressed like jasmine who went up. Everyone in the restaurant went "Awwww".
