Tonga Toast?

I think that server was grossly exaggerating the calorie count there. I agree it's a sugar shock, tastewise, but it can't be 3000 calories, if it's made like the recipe posted previously. Would have a hard time getting to be much more than 1000 calories: 1/3 cup of sugar is only 258 calories, couple of slices of bread=200 cals., banana=150 at most for a large, egg =100, milk=40...all that adds up to about 700 calories. Then of course you fry it, but it won't absorb 2000 calories of oil...maybe 250 more. Then sprinkle with sugar for a few more calories.

Even if you dump 1/4 cup of maple syrup on it, you're still going to max out at around 1200 calories.

So, bon appetit ~ whatever the calorie count, it's too sweet for me but it's not really like eating more than a full day's calories at breakfast

Same here, I recommend the shrimp omelette - not on the menu but if you ask for it they'll usually make it.

Tonga Toast is delicious! I think about it often! Dh and I like to order an egg platter and a Tonga toast from Captain Cook's and share. I like a little eggs with my Tonga Toast. mmm mmm good!!

Everyone knows Disney calories don't count anyway...at least not while you're on WDW property, hehehe

FYI - I was told by a Kona server that Tonga Toast is 3,000 calories (without the syrup)...a total sugar shock!

Love me some tonga toast! it is worth it! will regret it later, but at that time it is worth it

I love Kona for breakfast, but it's good to know that TT could be had as a sweet treat. I would assume at Capt. Cook's they only have it in the morning?
I know it's a breakfast item at Kona, but I have a feeling they'd cook it for you just about anytime.
