We had a nice meal at Kona Cafe a week ago, on our last night at WDW. Wanted to let you all know about the wonderful new entree I tried. I loved the roast chicken but they had coconut chicken instead. It was a nice chicken breast that was dipped in coconut milk and coated in coconut then pan fried. Mine was cooked perfectly, sweet and juicy inside. You could definitely taste all the coconut. YUM. It was served witha wonderful salad made of delicious mixed greens. Every now and then I would get a bite of mint leaves which were mixed in with the greens! The salad had some strawberry bits in it, as well as some pineapple chunks and slivered almonds. I think the dressing was honey lime. The salad was even better than the chicken! I will order this yummy selection again and saw lots of folks at tables around ours, trying it.
The bread was delicious as always. I even had dessert! Usually I don't have room but my son mooched a good part of my chicken... The new dessert is a chocolate macadamia pie with ice cream. The pie had a filling rather like pecan pie, sweet and gooey. I didn't care overly much for the filling but the top of the pie was a crust of macadamias (toasted, I think) and chocolate. Yum. As the dessert was too big to finish anyhow, I was happy to just eat that topping! It came with a big scoop of coconut ice cream, also very coconut-y and delicious. When I go back next I will request just the ice cream as it was the best part!
If you like coconut, these new goodies will thrill you. I will miss the roast chicken but the new dish was a real "treat," something you would definitely not get at home. Very "Polynesian!"
