Food Porn: Platinum Plan dining - breakfast

After posting a non-TR post and scoring only 1 hit for the day, that was evidence enough that you sick people  come here only for the food porn.

As I am now an attention hound (think more pudgy bulldog than whippet) I shall quickly resort to playing my ace card - Platnium Plan dining - in a desperate attempt to woo you all back.

After checking in at Disney's Polynesian Resort at 7am, it was still breakfast time and I went upstairs to the Kona Cafe. And  I am thankful I made the booking for there - look at the crowd of people waiting to get into the other breakfast restaurant 'Ohana.

7:45 am! Look at them all - swarming like ants, waiting for a table. Why is it so?

The breakfast at Kona Cafe is an a la carte cafe menu that contains vast amounts of sugary, sticky, fruity, gooey, ribsticking pleasure. You try and choose one dish off this menu.

I can hear the almost universal cry: Tonga Toast!

of course, as this was my first visit, I had TT.

I have no idea if any component of this recipe has anything to do with Tonga

Ok - so I eschewed the side of either ham, sausage or the bacon thingy that shall not be named and they let me substitute with a fruit cup. Also the meal came with a jug of strawberry soup ( and I also got some maple syrup) to pour over.

 I really enjoyed this. Esp. with the fresh strawberry sauceyness. It was fruity and sweet and moist all at the same time. My improvements would be to add vanilla extract to the french toast batter in which it is soaked. I love vanilla and really wanted to add that flavour dimension to this dish. And probably like everyone - would increase the banana: bread ratio.

In usual Mrs Banks style, that's a pot Twinings English Breakfast tea in the background. After 4 tea-less days it was highly desirable.

I recommend this restaurant for anyone who is NOT on a gluten free/sugar free diet (they will accommodate all dietary needs - but honestly this place shines in its sugary glow), wanting dishes away from the standard buffet fare, and something more adult and innovative ( and way less crowded and noisy than 'Ohana).

You can find several reviews and lots of photos of the cafe and other dishes at one of my favourite blogs: The Disney Food Blog 

Extreme yumminess factor

Extreme stodginess potential - but picking one dish off a menu limited the all out pig out

Next meal up is Victoria and Alberts - stay tuned
