It wasn’t horribly sour like some white wines seem to be, but after the sweeter Rosemont Estate Traminer Riesling from the Australia booth, it wasn’t to our liking. 1-10 (1=never ever continue reading China Booth – Wine – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012 … Mango Tapioca Pudding First off, please remember two things… we don’t eat sweets very often and when nora used to cook a lot (a.k.a. when we were both heavier), nick LOVED her tapioca pudding… but we didn’t remember how much he liked tapioca pudding until he tasted this. In fact, when nick took continue reading China Booth – Mango Tapioca Pudding – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012 … The last weekend of the Food & Wine Festival coincided with A LOT of stuff going on at Walt Disney World… the Wine & Dine Half Marathon (beginning at ESPN Wide World of Sports and ending at Epcot) the Festival of the Masters (at Downtown Disney) the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic golf tournament (at continue reading Last Weekend of Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2012 … Chicken Satay Chicken Satay with Spiced Peanut Sauce and Pickled Vegetables This wasn’t bad but it was still a bit disappointing.

And, here’s a nice post from David Lebovitz about lamingtons. We thought that the cake looked very dry when we saw the interior, as a pleasant surprise, it wasn’t dry. It was a dense sponge cake with a large continue reading Australia Booth – Lamington – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012 … Shrimp on the Barbie Shrimp on the Barbie with Pepper Berry Citrus Glaze The “pepper berry citrus glaze” was surprisingly good!

The shrimp themselves were overcooked and rubbery (what continue reading Australia Booth – Shrimp on the Barbie – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2012 … Grilled Lamb Chop Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies We stopped at the Australia booth right at 11:00 as they opened.
