Volcano Bay Food & Drink Discussion

[Alicia]

Anyone else find it interesting that both Pandora and VB's food reveals both include root vegetable chips as a side dish?

Everyone needs to invest in Terra Chips stock:

The first thing on TL menu was a pork sandwich and it's the first thing on VB's. A bunch of fried shrimp options also on both. Pork sandwich's, fried shrimps, tropical salads, plantain chips etc..

How is it not close? It's "island" food. The presentation may be different, but it's all the same idea.

Is this really a discussion?

Experience has taught me that those root veg chips look a lot better than they taste.

Also, the side by side makes the thought i had earlier pretty painfully obvious.. The food stylists at Disney need to up their game.

The Disney food looks bland.

Does anyone have any idea where this yummy appetizer sampler will be available? I assume "Kohola Reef Restaurant & Social Club" but it's not on the menu (or any menu for that matter.)

There a block of Asian restaurants near SeaWorld that I'm pretty sure has that.

It looks like a Pu Pu platter

Pearl's is the best. And every Twistee Treat/Menchies sells Dole Whip. But Pixie Dust is a hell of a drug--apparently the Universal strain even more virulent.

(For the record, as someone who is a regular at Typhoon, first thought was VB menu very similar--both are going for that
"Polynesian take on fast food vibe" that Adventureland Verandah did better back in the 70s.)

Goodness, I could go for a pu pu platter right now... what are those round ball things? Crab rangoons?

I had my first junk food thing for the first time in 3 months yesterday and I thought I had died and gone to a happy place. :saywhat:

More more more!

Looks like Conch Fritters to me.

 

[Alicia]

Since it's not on the menus, I've dubbed it the "Island Appetizer Sampler."

Looks like Coconut Shrimp, Conch Fritters (or crab,) and some type of Spring Rolls. Sauces on the side include Pina Colada sauce for shrimp and Sweet & Sour Sauce for spring rolls.

We'll see if that lines up with reality if they ever update the menu details.

They accidentally took a photo of someone's plate from craft services that they left on the prop table. No one had the heart to tell them it's not going to be in the park.

Sometimes the food that's not supposed to be good for you is actually the best food for you. :thumbsup:

I could, but it's not my place to tap that source yet.

Actually, @Teebin could use his knowledge of arecaceae to speculate on barware for one of the cocktails.

 

[Frank Drackman]

The mysteries of life..are they conch fritters, crab thingies, hush puppies, gator, or just bland tater tots?

 

[Skipper Justin]

If those end up being lumpia, that would be hilarious. A kick in the ole really tall blue knee.

Sushi at a theme park restaurant? Daddy is happy
