Ohana menu changes

[fizzle75]

I see your a fan of creme brulee, if you haven't had it yet, get over to coral reef for their butterscotch creme brulee...:slurp:

It's amazing.

I had never had creme brulee prior to WDW...I always thought it was high falutin', hoity toity, fancy schmancy food. lol

As soon as I tasted it at Le Cellier I loved it and I've been hooked ever since.
I really enjoyed Coral Reef when we went there in December of '06 but my wife didn't so I don't know if I'll ever get her to go back, thanks for the tip though. :wave:

Thank you so much. This site does not have the waffles or pancakes and my book has waffles. I have a very picky 4 year old. Did you see Mickey and I believe Pluto? It says they are there for pictures and autographs.

When we were there in April we saw Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and Mickey.

The character interaction was great, they each came over several times. Stitch sat at our table and pretended to drink my son's juice, Pluto took my son's hat off and put it on his own head etc.

Even though the selections were more limited than a buffet, I felt the quality to be much better. And our server brought out more as needed, and even brought out fresh eggs stating that the ones we had might be getting cooled. I have a very picky eater as well but he just loves those Mickey waffles!

Have a great time! :wave:

Thank god for the return of the shrimp and the return of the fruity bread!

We haven't been to Ohana since they made those (imo) awful menu changes back in 2005. We were really put off by the fried wontons, the decrease in the number of appetizers, the cheesy potatoes, the pork sausage replacing shrimp, and the new dessert. This upcoming trip, we'll be dining there on January 20th. If these menu changes are true, I will be so happy!

No if only they would bring back all the previous appetizers, the stir-fried rice and the pineapple dessert. After such a filling meal, I thought the pineapple was a perfect ending because it was really light (and low calorie without the caramel). I think the bread pudding could be an option that you pay extra for, but I don't feel it's necessary after such a huge meal.

I totally agree. The original menu was the best. Remember, they brought out a lazy susan with wings, fried won tons, fried rice and green beans (i think). That was the best. Then, of course, the pinapple with carmel sauce came for dessert.

Coconut/pineapple bread receipe

Does anyone have the link for the coconut/pineapple bread receipe? I did a search on the receipe thread and I found the Bananas Foster and the maui potatoes and some other things but not this bread receipe. If anyone can find it and post I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Anytime. :wave: This last week was my first time back to Coral Reef since they changed the menu's. There was a collective jaw drop from everyone that got the creme brulee there. :lol:

I definitely remember. In August 2005, they made a bunch of horrible changes all at once.

1. No more bread - replaced with wontons
2. Less appetizers - No more shrimp wontons/1000 other things
3. Cheesy potatoes replaced the rice (I still think the rice went better with the theming)
4. Pork sausage replaced grilled shrimp - Big mistake, some people don't actually like pork that much but really love shrimp
5. New sauces - I really miss the fruit sauce (the one that was like tropical apple sauce)
6. Dessert - the pineapple is replaced with bread pudding (the pineapple was perfect, if I really wanted to I would pay extra for bread pudding)

At least the bread and the shrimp are back. I'll give the other new stuff a try, but I still miss the old Ohana.

THANK YOU BABY JESUS:sohappy:, that sausage was the WORST EVER!!!!!!!! TO bad its not the old Shrimp but its at least a move in a better direction.

 

[rainfully]

I LOVE the wonton chips....Wonder if I can ask for them still?

I also liked the sausage but the shrimp is really good also..

You can get them downstairs at Cap't Cook's!

Ohanas

:ROFLOL:18 more days:ROFLOL:

2 thumbs up for adding the bread. LOVE it at breakfast. Hate Pineapple. Hate Coconut. LOVE the Pineapple/Coconut bread!

Will miss the sausage. So, the pork and Turky both stay as white meats... And there is 2x the shrimp?? Why not the sausage. If not, get a better sausage. Maybe a glazed sausage??? Weird.

Yea, I found it weird too. At first I thought they got rid of the steamed shrimp when they said they switched the sausage back to shrimp skewers. Then when we got the plate of steamed shrimp I was needless to say suprised, cause really, as good as shrimp is, no one eats that much of it, seems like a waste to me.

I was told the shrimp was going to be replaced by dumplings, although not the same ones that were around a few years back. The completed changes are supposed to be done by the end of this month. And I certainly won't be missing the potatoes.

Really? Cause the potatoes haven't gone anywhere yet. So that would put two starches on the appetizers. Unless they plan on dropping the potatoes all together? Hopefully not cause they are delicious.

 

[ectomstr]

CRT will have menu changes sometime this year. that is all. cannot go into details. look for quite a few changes.

 

[HoneyMnShawnee]

I liked the sausage!

As long as they don't get rid of the potatoes... mmmmmmmmmmmmm...

That is exactly what I was thinking!! Those potatoes are the best I've ever had :sohappy:

 

[Horizonstta]

I was told the potatoes will no longer be offered (sometime by the end of the month).
