They hand out free Ghirardelli chocolate squares (we’ve had the caramel, the peppermint bark, and the Intense Dark 86% cacao – which we didn’t like, nick

October 13th, 2012 Spicy Hand Roll – large enough to share
SPICY HAND ROLL – Tuna and salmon with chili pepper, soy sauce & sesame oil topped with kazan volcano sauce.

October 10th, 2012 A nice mix of textures
Mongolian Beef with Chinese Steamed Bun
The steamed bun was soft and slightly sweet. There wasn’t as much beef or sauce as we expected (based on Eating WDW review here), but what was there tasted nice. The onions and the grilled green onion added some needed texture.
