Sunday’s adventure

Today I ventured down to Disney Springs for brunch with Julie and then we took a walk around the shops.

After brunch we took a walk around and it was so nice to be out around people. It wasn’t busy and everyone wore a mask. It was nice.

The Foreign Experience

Last night I went to Melts on Main for a pop up restaurant with Chef Bruno Fonsca. He is originally from Brazil but has been in the US for about 20 years. Typically it is an interactive dinner sitting at the bar watching him prepare the food, but due to Covid we had to sit at tables. It happens once a month, so I will definitely make it a habit to going!

It was a bit odd going on my own as it was a date night for everyone else there, but the food was amazing so definitely worth it!

Tiffin Lunch

So I decided to go to Tiffin for an early birthday lunch. It gets reviews as one of the best restaurants in the parks and I have to say I would agree.

I started with a duo of appetizers (and forgot to take a photo). It consisted of charred octopus and a spiced falafel. The falafel was served with a mint-pistachio pesto and some pickled vegetables. Both were really good!

For my main I had a crispy corn cake with chermoula- infused vegetables and a corn emulsion. It was even better than the starter! I finished the meal off with a cheese plate and a nice cup of tea.

A nice birthday treat!

Diner at Temporis

We got a table at Temporis for dinner last night. They only have 20 seatings a night so I was really excited! They don’t have a menu just a 10 course meal and We went for the reserve wine pairings.

First off was a 2006 Andre Jacquart Champagne, which we really enjoyed

The first course was called Watermelon. Two this slices of watermelon with a feta ice cream and a mint cake.

This next one was one of my favorites. Fluke. Strawberry, Finger Lime, Tangerine Lace

Third was Crab. Avocado on the bottom. Grapefruit3 ways pumpernickel toast.

Next we switched over to a 2017 Alphonse Dolly. Which we also enjoyed.

This was one of Richards favorites. Tomato. A twist on a tomato gazpacho soup.

Corn was one of both our favorites. It was baby corn grilled with coriander and espelette with fresh truffles.

Next came Lobster. Lobster in a vanilla pasta with black truffles and tarragon

We switched over to 1999 Pelissero for the next few courses.

Sunchoke was next. It had Parmesan, gooseberry and sunflowers.

A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. Another one one of our favorites. Served with broccoli, orange and cashew.

The chefs take on a Mojito to cleanse your palate.

We didn’t care for the desert wine. A 1997 Moulin Touchais.

Lemongrass with Masago Arare, Yusuf and Shiso

We ended with Pistachio. It was a white chocolate cream with a cherry sorbet and a lemon balm cake.

It was an amazing meal and the service was outstanding!
