Tusker House Dinner Buffet Favorites
A few weeks back my family did the insane: we went to all four parks in one day. We started at Hollywood Studios for a WDW Meet and Greet. Then we went to Epcot for lunch (we ate at the Sunshine Seasons). After that was the monorail to the Magic Kingdom where we had Citrus Swirls. Finally we completed the circle by heading over to Animal Kingdom for dinner at Tusker House.
The food was fantastic and, because we had one of the last reservations of the day, the restaurant wasn’t too busy. I think the favorites in my family were the Israeli couscous with basil and the entire dessert table. But then, who doesn’t love a good dessert table?
40Turtle Brownies
While I suppose turtle brownies aren't too uncommon, these brownies were great. They were moist and a little gooey from the caramel. As far as turtle brownies go, these were some good ones.
40Israeli Couscous with Basil
This dish was super simple, but probably one of the best things I had in a week or more surrounding this meal. The basil was just lightly wilted by the heat of the cooked couscous, and while the couscous was clearly dressed with a little oil, it was not oily or greasy. It was simple without being bland or flavorless. I went back for seconds, and I think my mom went back for thirds.
30Herb Bread
The bread was incredibly flavorful, but a tad dry. It wasn't inedible or stale, just really full of herbs which dried out the bread just a little bit. It was delicious, but I recommend eating it with a salsa, hummus, or something along those lines.
40Strawberry Mousse in Chocolate Cups.
These little cups are just as good as they look. The chocolate was a bit semi-sweet, but the strawberry mousse was definitely sweet enough, even for those who dislike the semi-sweet. Just a warning: those cups are pure chocolate, so beware of just out of the dishwasher hot plates. Mine melted all over the place. They were still amazing, but they made a bit of a mess.
