So if you haven't have figured it out by now. I LOVE FOOD. Especially when I'm on vacation at Walt Disney World. I pretty much started running there so I could eat more! (Okay not 100% true but kinda.)
This past runDisney weekend, Princess Half Weekend, my BRF (Best Running Friend) Kristy over at Kristy Runs Kato made reservations at Yak and Yeti at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Yack and Yeti was always a building I'd pass when visiting the Animal Kingdom but never made the effort to look more into it.
The decor when you walk in where the hostess stand is located is still light and airy with a hit of what's to come. You can see the way it works with the rest of the Animal Kingdom Park.
And then you walk into the actual restaurant, its jaw dropping. It's almost like you are transported to Anandapur.
Although I did not take part in any specialty drinks they sure have some fun sounding ones!
There are so many different options I wasn't sure what I was going to choose.
I chose to go with the Crispy Honey Chicken (in the wok section of the menu). As I type this I am still salivating over it. You are given the choice of white rice, brown rice or fried rice....well of course I went with fried rice. When in Anandapur... Oh that's not the saying is it... The chicken was so moist and flavorful. The honey on the actual chicken was also on the vegetables so it was a nice compliment. The veggies were warm and still had a crunch to them. The only thing it needed was a little heat so Anne (Kristy's sister) and I asked for sriracha sauce. Mmm mmm mmm.
Kristy had told me about the fried wontons and told me it was supposedly heaven on a stick. The waiter also told me if I wasn't interested in getting them he would buy them for me they were THAT good. There were about 6 in total including pineapple slices and strawberries as well as a side of vanilla ice cream. I cannot actually put into words how amazing this dessert was. The wontons were filled with warm cream cheese and the cold vanilla ice cream against that is like a party in your mouth. Yes. I said it. A party. In your mouth.
I recommend Yak and Yeti to anyone and everyone going to Disney. It's become of my my new favorites.
