food IS a theme park
We’re heading into the World Showcase at EPCOT today to try out the newly reopened Nine Dragons Restaurant!
Nine Dragons Restaurant
Despite being the main sit-down dining option in the China Pavilion, Nine Dragons is a lesser-known dining spot in EPCOT. Now that it’s back open, we’re checking out the food to see if you should take time out of your EPCOT day for a meal here or just wait to get your Chinese Food fix with takeout at home!
Nine Dragons in the China Pavilion of EPCOT is a table-service offering that features a wide range of cuisines, serving up Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan, and Kiangche-style dishes. It’s not exactly a fan favorite, but we’ve enjoyed some of their offerings in the past!

Nine Dragons reopened in EPCOT today, and we stopped by and checked it out!
Summer’s coming! And we know that you’ll be looking to stay cool at Disney. And I can’t think of a much better way than by enjoying some terrific soft serve treats!
And when it comes to soft serve at Disney, you certainly have options! From Dole Whip to Root Beer Floats made with the creamy stuff, there’s no end to the variety you’ll find.

So we weren’t too surprised when we checked out pics that our members have posted on Disney Food Blog Photo Extravaganza, our Flickr group. We came away with all sorts of soft serve inspiration!
If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, head over there! But before you do, let’s take a look at some of the goodies we found while we were surfin’.

What makes a Soft Serve Ice Cream Cone even more delish? How about enjoying it with an awesome background, like Paradise Pier! I can almost feel that beautiful California sunshine coming through the pic, can’t you??

We love that Pineapple Soft Serve has become a mainstay at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. We expect to see the popular treat back again at the 2015 Epcot Food and Wine Festival as well!
This great pic features treats from Pineapple Promenade at this year’s Flower and Garden Festival. It really captures the contrast between the soft serve and the Sammy’s Beach Bar Red Head Macadamia Nut Flavored Rum!

Ya know those times when you’re just strolling through Epcot and you really need some Miso soup…like, stat?
No?
Well, if you did, this would be the place for you, my friend.
Epcot's Kabuki Cafe
Epcot’s Kabuki Cafe is a quick service kiosk offering varied menu items, from sweet to savory. Located in the Japan pavilion, it replaced the wildly popular Kaki-Gori Stand when it opened. But Kaki-Gori fans can be assured that the sweet, chilly treat is still available here.
The menu varies based on the season — when it’s busy in Walt Disney World, you’ll find a larger variety of savory food offerings. Otherwise, there are just a few items to choose from…

As you probably know, I love Kaki-Gori, the shave-ice-and-fruit-syrup treat that resembles a sno-cone…without the cone part.
All of the flavors are still here, and so are the [Read more…]
Reader Venessa H. recently sampled some of the Green Tea Ice Cream at the brand new Kabuki Cafe in Epcot’s Japan pavilion and sent us a mini-review.
Green Tea Ice Cream
When I thought “green tea ice cream,” I thought it would be creamy and scooped out onto a little bowl — it’s texture would just melt in your mouth. Yet, it was packaged and hard and kind of like the Gelato you get over in the Italy stand (which isn’t even Gelato anymore).
Even when I let it melt a little, it just didn’t feel right. It was somewhat refreshing and it had that artificial green tea flavor. By all means people should [Read more…]
