So I am down to my final review. I always hate the last day at Disney. I hate packing. I hate leaving the resort. I hate the 18 hour drive home. But alas, all good things must come to an end. Some of us have to work you know.
Our last meal was set at Morimoto Asia. We really like this place, and couldn't wait to share it with our friends. First order, a big carafe of sangria. This sangria is orange juice based, has a bit of sake in it, and your typical sangria fruits. I used to say this was the best deal on property when it opened at $18 a carafe. Now it is $35. The serving is a little larger, but not that much larger. This is still worth every penny in my opinion. You can taste both the white wine and the sake. It is perfectly refreshing on a hot hot hot day.
This is a very beautiful restaurant. I wish I had taken photographs of the inside. Even the place settings are pretty.
Mike and I started out with
Spider Roll - tempura soft shell crab, spicy mayo, cucumber, asparagus. We love soft shell crab in any form. The spider roll is almost always our favorite. This was really good, although a couple of sushi places near home have better Spider Roll
A tried the
Miso Soup - miso broth, silken tofu. I am not a miso soup fan, so I didn't try it. A said it was really good.
For entrees, I went with my tried-and-true favorite. I am a Ramen Girl. I swear that's all I ate from the time I was a baby until I graduated from college. Who knew that Ramen could be so good? I now eat ramen various different ways, and have learned that spicy Korean Ramen is the best. Chicago is full of really great Ramen noodle restaurants, but the noodles here are really excellent.
Duck Ramen - egg noodle, duck meat, scallion, boiled egg. This dish incorporates two of my favorite foods, Peking Duck and ramen noodles. I can't tell you how much I love this Slurpee goodness. Best ramen from a restaurant ever. The Peking duck is so succulent. It makes me want to order the Peking duck, but this bowl is filled with it and is under $20.
Michael also ate this and loved it. Z got a noodle bowl of ramen, but made with vegetable broth and lots of vegetables if I remember correctly. I don't have a photo.
Ray got
Kung Pao Chicken - carrots, shimeji, mushrooms, bell peppers, bamboo shoots, cashew nuts, stir-fried with spicy Szechuan sauce. I tried it. This was good, but again I prefer my local Chinese place better.
Sandra had
Beef Lo Mein Noodles - stir-fried noodles, Napa cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, mushroom, scallions. She really liked this. I was torn. I liked the noodles and beef a lot, but the sauce was sweeter than I like.
A had
Spicy Tuna - tuna, spicy mayo, scallion. He said he liked it. I can't find my picture, but it looked like the Disney Food Blog photo.
We love Morimoto Asia. This is another must do for us for the Ramen noodles and awesome Sangria.
We weren't ready to leave without a sweet treat, so we got Gelato at Vivoli Gelateria. This was creamy and super rich. I got dark chocolate.
So there you have it. We had a wonderful trip to Pandora, and plenty of great food.
Next stop Food & Wine Festival October 21 through 28. I'll be back with more great food and even more wine and cocktails.
