I'll be OK with that. In restaurants I never eat dessert unless I order it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovesthebeach2 Posted February 3, 2023 #28 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I’m excited to try butter chicken. I’ve heard so many positive reviews of this dish but I’ve never seen it in the windjammer which is where I’ve read that it’s usually the first day of a cruise. I may try a few Indian dishes! I do need to watch out for onions and garlic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like mushrooms & could easily pick them out. Curried Lamb Rogan Josh Delicious & very tender meat. Roti & Crispy Poppadum Crispy Parmesan Arancini Golden Polenta Fries with Spicy Dip These were pretty bland. Lasagna Al Forno Creamy Mushroom Risotto My Husband’s favorite dish of the week. Grilled Sweet Corn Cakes Tasty. Carne Asada Flavorful & tender Butter Chicken Delicious Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie I think this is our favorite RCCL dessert ever!!! Wish they had it every night. Vidalia Onion Tart NY Strip Steak with Maine Lobster Tail Not a new dish but wanted to show the lobster tail they have on lobster night. Warm Chocolate Cake Yummy but so sweet as are most desserts we had. Mediterranean Tapas Medley Chicken Chettinad My favorite dish of the week. I’ve never tried Indian food before but so glad I did. Thanks -- I enjoyed those pictures. I'd love to hear how you liked: - The Polenta fries with spicy dip - Sweet Corn Cakes -- did this come with a sauce? - Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie -- that does not look like a cookie! - Vidalia Onion Tart -- is this something of a quiche? - NY Strip Steak -- how does it stack up against the Steak Diane from the old menu? 21 hours ago, HappyTexan44 said: Is there anything cheaper than rice? Water. Seriously, if you've ever worked in a kitchen you maybe familiar with those giant rice cookers that can put out 30 gallons or so at a time. If, indeed, Royal's goal has been to streamline their menus, using the same grain side dish is a smart move because preparing a giant batch of rice takes little more time than cooking a moderate amount -- and considerably less time than providing both rice and potatoes. 18 hours ago, time4u2go said: Thanks for the pictures. I see what people are talking about regarding the small portions. The first time we cruised, we were surprised at the small portions -- but we realized pretty quickly that they were perfectly adequate. At home when we eat out, we typically take home enough for the next day's lunch, but -- obviously -- we don't do this during a cruise. We also don't typically have an appetizer and dessert when we eat out. On a cruise, we pretty often order two appetizers -- come on, four shrimp in a shrimp cocktail? And I'd definitely do what the above poster did on lobster night: I'd rather have two lobster tails, but I'm not paying $16 for a second one, so I'll order the steak and one lobster tail. 39 minutes ago, lovesthebeach2 said: I’m excited to try butter chicken.

I hope it improved, but not holding out too much hope... I had it on oasis in November and really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s rogan josh 😉 the Vidalia onion tart is off the old menu, it’s like a quiche but with lots more onion. Onion tart with bacon is a traditional dish from Alsace, in France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted February 8, 2023 #32 Share Posted February 8, 2023 My only concern about the Indian entrees is the spice level. I like flavor in my food, but can’t do heat. I love curry, but only mild curry. We’re the chicken dishes spicy hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseMomTX Posted February 8, 2023 #34 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thanks -- I enjoyed those pictures. I'd love to hear how you liked: - The Polenta fries with spicy dip. Very bland, no flavor except for the sauce, would not order again - Sweet Corn Cakes -- did this come with a sauce? corn cakes were good, I don't think there was a sauce - Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie -- that does not look like a cookie! Literally the best dessert I have ever had on a ship!! It's more like they took cookie dough and stuffed in a ramekin then underbaked. We were very surprised how much we liked it. - Vidalia Onion Tart -- is this something of a quiche? I forgot this is actually and old dish brought back and I liked it better before. Yes pretty much a quiche. It was ok. - NY Strip Steak -- how does it stack up against the Steak Diane from the old menu? Hubby said he can't remember if he's ever tried the Steak Diane but did not care for the NY Strip. However he Loved the new Carne Asada on Mexican Night.
