I had a day off on Friday so like a couple of grown ups my wife and I went to Disneyland for pretty much the whole day and some of the evening.
After a taking in two rides we decided to find somewhere to eat, of which there is plenty of choice in the park.
We chose Tahitian Terrace, which is in the Adventureland section of the park. It served an array of South and Southeast Asian food.
The park was really busy even though it was a Friday but school holidays have started here so that would be the reason. Nevertheless the queues were not that long in the cafeteria style counters. Depending on the type of cuisine you queue at a different counter. My wife wanted noodles and I went for Indian food.
For the Indian food what you do is select three curries out of a choice of six. I chose Daal Tadka, Aloo Jeera and Aloo Mutter (which are shown left to right in the picture above). Rice and roti is served, along with a poppadom. Everything is served in individual compartments in the pre-moulded tray, giving it a very canteen feel about it. You then take your tray to the separate cashier counter to pay for it. As I was buying my wife's noodles as well, the staff were very friendly in offering me help to carry the second tray to the payment counter and to where we were sat.
So after choosing what to have and completing financial transactions we sat down on the food court styled tables and chairs and proceeded to eat. The dining area is just roof-sheltered only so we kind of went al fresco, with little sparrows joining us on the next table (which had yet to be cleared) to pick out any remnants of food for themselves.
The daal had a nice texture and creamy, not too spicy but not that warm either. The potatoes with cumin were nice, soft and coated in a flavoursome sauce. It was probably the spiciest of the three but not too hot. The potatoes and pea curry was fine as well. There was enough rice served with the curries and the roti, which was soft and not too oily, was in hand to soak up the remaining sauce. The spiciest element of the whole meal was the chilli dip for my poppadom. There was a salad accompaniment of three slices of tomatoes as well, which I finished off also.
My wife chose to have Laksa, which she was not that impressed with as it was not that hot (in the temperature sense) and the noodles should have been a bit thinner, i.e. more vermicelli like than spaghetti. I think lacking temperature in the food could be attributed to us eating slightly later than normal lunching times.
Our food was washed down with Fanta and Ice Lemon tea drinks purchased by the bottle.
Overall Tahitian Terrace does the job and is there to cater for the regional Asian tourists they want to attract. It's not cheap compared to other restaurants of this type in Hong Kong but you are almost held to ransom when you enter this amusement park, as security will check your bags not only for dangerous items but for food as well.
