Beware The Snack Police - Day 5 - Panda Express, 3 Broomsticks And Lots Of Donuts!

[Dennys]

Today was a double park day - Universal Studios in the morning, then IoA / Universal in the evening to see the light show.

We started with breakfast in the room as usual, then stopped mid-morning to use some of our snack credits on a Big Pink and some popcorn, which we all shared...

The donut was ace and as big as my head!

Popcorn was standard popcorn, no body could work out if it had a flavour, which probably tells you something about it! It was quickly inhaled...!

At lunchtime the parks seemed to be heaving and they had just about started queuing out of the door for the Simpson's food court, so we decided to take our leave and head to Anyojitos for lunch - our 3rd try as it had been rained off and closed for a private party when we had tried to go here earlier in the week...

We were thwarted once again - it doesn't open until 4 - and no one was prepared to wait that long for lunch!

Quick change of plan - we went to the Citywalk food court, where I had my very first Panda Express! I had Orange Chicken, Beijing beef and steamed veg - and loved it!

N had the Orange Chicken, Beijing beef and Chicken Kung-Po with fried rice.

L & J went Moe's - L did the ordering and said it was one of the most stressful experiences of her life and she never wants to do it again! She ended up with chicken quesadillas.

And J had Nachos- surprise surprise!

We then went to Voodoo donut as there was no queue, and we had all conveniently forgotten that we had already eaten the worlds largest donut only a couple of hours beforehand...

We ordered The Voodoo Doll, the Grape Ape, Raspberry Romeo and a little pink. They were all amazing... and huge!

In the evening we were in IoA so went to the Three Broomsticks for tea. I apologise now for the photos - it was late, we were hungry and we all momentarily forgot to think about pictures, so had already started digging in before photos were taken - sorry!

I had the rib platter - despite the slightly congealed look of the photo which makes it look horrendous- this actually tasted ok! I used our last Universal meal
Plan, meal credit to pay for this.

N had 3 beef patties with a portion of wedges. He says that these were Ok too...

L had shepherds pie again and said that this wasn't as good as the one in the Leaky Cauldron...

J had a children's meal of chicken fingers, plus an order of wedges. He didn't fancy anything from the normal menu but it took some persuading to make him realise that they really weren't bothered that he wasn't under 9 and that they wouldn't come and tell him off for ordering a child's meal!

This does come with 3 fingers - he was hungry, sorry!

I really enjoyed Moe’s but I agree it was so stressful to order as I just didn’t have a clue either. I wish I had asked for more cheese in mine, I think I will do it again but just pretend I’m putting the food I like in some kind of toastie or pitta bread so I sound like I know what I’m doing!
It’s the law that you must buy Voodoo doughnuts if there isn’t a queue even if you have already had doughnuts 😊
