Oasis: Must try foods

[sparelink]

What do you all recommend as a Must try food on the Oasis. Lets get specific here. list what you had, how it was cooked and any toppings you had with it. I keep reading all of these review and they talk about the good the bad and the ugly, lets list all the good here. I am no foodie my any means but I feel I usually get the same thing over and over because I dont know what else to try. Hoping this list would give me option when I fell myself in the rut.

 

I feel that you can break it down into 4 sections. MDR, Windjammer, Specialty dining, and complimentary dining. we can have more than 3 favorites in each category but lets make a running list for people to take with them and try

I can remember being on the Oasis and found the desserts in the Windjammer better than the main dining room. That's the only food I can think of now.

Great post, I hope more people will chime in - I love the banana muffins in the park cafe, sorry can't think of any other food.

For specialty, go to Johnny Rockets. The milk shakes are very good and so are the onion rings, fries, and burgers.

For complimentary food try Roast beef sandwich at Park Cafe. Mmmmmm delicious!

150 Central Park for entire menu (it changes during week)

Duet of Oyster at Chops.

Give the Artichoke Filled Crepe a try at the MDR. Just get it to taste. Very good and rich.

I devised my own 'Thai beef salad' at Park cafe. Asked for the roast beef (minus the roll) slices on their own, then combine with various salad items and top with balsamic vinegar. Yummy, especially in hot weather IMHO. The variations of salads I managed to concoct didnt end there ie....shrimp and buffalo mozarella.

 

Enjoyed the Escargot and Lobster in the MDR.

Various breakfast items at Johnny Rockets.

Any tapas plate at Vintages.

 

Bon appetit!

Windjammer: bread pudding with vanilla sauce. Available every day (assume they were putting the day before's left over bread to good use). But they had it in a kind of strange place, beside some of the savoury dishes instead of with the desserts.

 

MDR: chocolate sensation. Velvety, seriously chocolatey dessert on the always-available dessert menu.

I'm a big fan of Johnny Rocket's butter. It's something else.

 

No, it really is something else.

What a fun thread!

 

My only contribution to add is the banana pancakes in the Windjammer.

I'm not sure if they had them everyday, since we only ate breakfast there the last day. I ate mine with a little peanut butter on top. AMAZING!

[lglancy]

Main Dining Room: the fillet of beef served on the first formal night is the best meal all week. The Scallops au Gratin is delicious, served on the second formal night. Also, the Scallops Chorizo on night 7. Banana crème brulee, when cooked till done and carmelized, is very good, and I'm not a banana fan. The Garlic Tiger Shrimp is also a favorite.

 

In Windjammer, of course the famous Honey Stung Chicken, with its remoulade sauce, is awesome when it's fresh. There is also a cold pasta salad at the salad bar portion on embarkation day that I love. All the cream soups are great. The white chocolate mousse dessert (cut into squares, topped with a milk chocolate layer) is the best WJ dessert, and tastes like a homemade marshmallow. I love the tuna salad, but it's only put out later in the afternoon.

 

At Johnny Rockets, we love the bacon cheese fries with ranch. And one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken on a cruise is of me and my daughter eating the Oreo Sundae. It's a great setting, and just looks nice with the sundaes in the pic.

 

In Chops, of course the whole meal is delicious, but that Mud Pie is to die for.

 

Promenade Café sandwiches are great. The egg salad on embarkation day is always our go to snack after muster, to get us through to dinner. The little fruit cups are a great way to push something healthy at my daughter, and because it's in the little clear cup, it's fun for her. I love the Ranger cookies. We enjoy bringing a few small bags of chips on board with us, and taking a plate of those tiny sandwiches back to the cabin for lunch when we've tired of WJ food, or just want to lounge in the cabin. The ham and cheese are great to put in a ziplock bag and store on ice for a quick breakfast when you have an early excursion.
