Mythos Restaurant- Universal Studios Orlando

Mythos was the best meal we had at Universal Studios. The pork chop was so amazing. Cooked sous vide then seared. So tender and juicy. The aioli on my daughter's already delicious lamb burger was so good. My youngest ordered the grilled cheese and finished it. The cheeses were so gooey and yummy. She isn't a big eater so we were surprised. 
The restaurant itself is so beautiful. It's bright and so pretty inside. The service was great, the chef and server were very attentive and assured us that our food would be allergy friendly for my but nut free child.
I would absolutely eat here again. 


"Featuring a mix of Mediterranean, Asian and American fare, Mythos' casually elegant menu includes options like Greek salad, pad Thai, wraps, burgers, and more. There's also a separate children's menu for little ones. Indulge in an outstanding dessert or selection from the full wine list to make your time spent in this mythical space even more sublime."

Three Broomsticks- Universal Studios Orlando

Image

One of my favorite places is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. It's absolutely magical. I could spend so much time just walking around and soaking it all in. There's so much to see and do. I'll admit food inside Universal isn't as great as Disney food but the foods I do enjoy are in the Wizarding World.

Kakigori at the Kabuki Cafe- Epcot

Image

Kakigori, a Japanese shaved ice was on my top three to you have as far as snacks this trip. For one you can get sweetened condensed milk on top, two you can get sweetened condensed milk on top. It's also Florida, it's hot.

(Cheeseburger in Paradise) Fry it and they will come...

ImageWhen MIL comes out to Florida to visit us we (MIL and I) always look forward to Fried Dill Pickles. They are so very good. These are from Cheeseburger in Paradise, in Destin. They come with a Horseradish dipping sauce that give them a nice kick. ImageTheir Chicken Gumbo is pretty good...ImageThe sweet potato chips make me feel like I've made a "healthy" choice instead of say... fries, LOL.

Orchid House Thai Restaurant

ImageOrchid House Thai Restaurant
This place pretty much sealed the deal for me. It's the place to go for Thai food in the FWB/DESTIN area. The food is authentic, the service is good and the place is clean. They have the popular curries, Pad Thai, Thai Beef Salad, and Tom Yum on the lunch buffet. But they also have Thai desserts, coffee, papaya salad, Larrb and other specialties. The great thing is, it's a buffet so if you aren't sure about trying something different you don't have to pay for a one meal. You can sample everything. My friend loves their donuts, not Thai but they are good. The donuts are made at the Orchids sister store Rosa's. For $7.95 this is a great lunch place. I haven't been for dinner.
If you're Thai or Lao... the staff is friendly and once they know you speak Thai/Lao just about everyone will come by and say hi. Or maybe it's because I have cute kids? Who knows. Who cares, my friend and I have made it a set lunch date every week.

Panda Buffet

ImagePanda Buffet. Diva loves this place. It's one of her favorite restaurants. She asks to go almost every Sunday after church and DH and I usually groan and say no. It's a buffet, some Chinese American food, Mongolian Grill, Sushi bar... DH and I don't mind it but we don't prefer it. We certainly don't want to eat there every weekend. We usually tell her to wait for Papa and Po Tu to come because they love it there. So we go a few times when we have company. Luckily on weekends they have a fairly good spread. I took the girls on Easter Sunday, I couldn't find a tea room that was open. I was pleasantly surprised. The oysters on the half shell looked freshly shucked- generally I would warn anyone to stay away from oysters at a buffet but they have a great turnover. The sushi was good, I mean there was no fatty tuna or anything but it was good. Diva had THREE, I kid you not three bowls of clams the girl loves clams. Image

Reeeeddd Robin... YUM

ImageMy eldest DD loves to say that, "Reeeeddd Robbbiin, YUM", she's four, it's catchy. That and the fact that she's got a mind like a steel trap that doesn't forget anything, except where she left her shoes. She's also an advertisers dream like her mom. I'll admit it, catch phrases, jingles and nice ads will get me in the door looking at your product. Moving on, this is a good start isn't it? An all American Restaurant chain. How's that for gourmet, makes you want to make a reservation food? Diva- the four year old, picked it. I gave her a choice on Good Friday. The place was packed, I thought arriving for lunch would be a good idea. We were seated an hour after we got there because, "the kitchen was behind". The girls were fine, they had balloons and a basket of hot fries that were being passed out, that and I truly have good kids, in spite of who their mother is.
So Red Robin, what do people go there for? DH says not the shakes, don't get the shakes. (He warned us a couple weeks before when we thought we would go there for dinner, place wasn't opened yet, the nearest Red Robin after that? a 400+ mile trip out of state, I kid you not, Greg told me. Greg is my GPS. We're close.)
If you like potatoes, the steak fries are good. I am OK with potatoes I can take them or leave them but these fries are good especially with the Red Robin seasoned salt. The girls had Grilled chicken with pasta and mandarin oranges. The pasta was slightly over cooked, tossed with Parmesan cheese and chicken. Eh, it was OK. I generally don't give my kids "kid version" of things. They have a wide palate and I think that's why.
I had that monstrosity of a burger you see. It's the Santa Fe, roasted Poblano pepper, guacamole, sauteed onions, crisp tortilla strips, pepper jack cheese and an ancho chili mayonnaise that I asked for on the side. I also asked for a fried egg to top it all off. As far as burgers go, it was good. I ate it all, except a few bites.
ImageSeasoned Salt. I bet it has MSG in it, I bet that's why it's so good. If you know it has MSG in it do not post to tell me. Image
