suse Posted May 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I was wondering what everyone's favorite meal is on board. Just curious, I guess. Plus, I just booked a HAL cruise again and don't want to miss something special. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovhywd Posted May 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2009 1. If I'm on the Eurodam, anything in Tamarind! Even lunch is the BEST! 2. Pinnacle - with that awesome chocolate dessert! 3. The Indonesian stir-fry dishes with noodles and chicken! Only 15 more days! Ilene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare foodsvcmgr Posted May 8, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think the combination of shrimp cocktail (with decent sized shrimp), Beef Wellington, and a souffle for dessert that HAL offers on one of their "formal" nights is the best I've seen lately.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedmondCruiser Posted May 8, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Rack of Lamb comes in first followed by Beef Wellington. Honorable mention goes to the HAL Meat Loaf (which I had not tried in numerous prior cruises) It was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willsot Posted May 8, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I enjoy the lamb dishes. My favorite was when I had the Vietnamese lamb dish off the fire section of the menu in the Tamarind (Eurodam). Chilled soups are another favorite and favorite appetizers are the baked brie and the escargot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted May 8, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Onion Soup, grilled salmon, steamed assorted veggies and coffee. If they offer a whole wheat roll, I'm Really happy. :) Ahhh, that makes me a happy cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakalina Posted May 8, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The baked brie appetizer, the lobster bisque or 5 mushroom soup, the beef wellington or the lobster tails. The chocolate souffle with the Grand Marnier sauce for dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmaPajama Posted May 8, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Bami Goreng. I'd be crushed if I didn't have an opportunity to order that. It's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larsenbiz Posted May 8, 2009 #15 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've gotta go with Prime Rib. YUMM-O! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innlady1 Posted May 8, 2009 #16 Share Posted May 8, 2009 My Number One choice is the escargot. Even the low sodium escargot I opted for on our most recent cruise was year was divine. I also enjoy most of the soups (hot and cold), the beef wellington, rack of lamb, parmesan encrusted chicken and anything I've tried in the Pinnacle Grille. For dessert, creme brulee.

Cruising-along Posted May 8, 2009 #17 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast is my favorite. I had this for the first time our last cruise, and it was very good! But my all-time favorite is the prime rib medium rare, shrimp cocktail, and almost anything chocolate for dessert. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjm1cc Posted May 8, 2009 #18 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Something I would not get at home. Sometimes something I am not sure if I would like but since it is "free" I am not disapointed as I would be if I had to pay for the meal. In short try something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoconutFish Posted May 8, 2009 #19 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Any chilled fruit soup, if I had to pick, the pear with ginger; chicken quaesadilla; vegetarian cutlet with garbanzo beans and bok choy; chocolate or Grand Marnier soufle with lots of sauce. This vegetarian cutlet was so good that I emailed Guest Relations back in February asking for a the recipe. Hope they can find it still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prescottbob Posted May 9, 2009 #23 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Ahoy! Any "meal" that I do not have to evaluate and purchase the ingredients at the local market (nor prepare daily in a timely manner) is a "favorite" meal for us aboard a cruise ship. As mentioned, a well-prepared & presented fish/shellfish, or beef/lamb dishes are universal "favorites". I prefer fish (off menu) or a well-prepared beef or lamb dish, if available, while aboard. We consume plenty of chicken / turkey at home so unless it's a special recipe on the menu (parmesian, stir fry, smoked, ginger-roasted, etc.) we stick with the aforementioned 'essentials' or a 'trusted' recomendation by our server. Serving temperatures and utilizing appropriate sauces is more important to us then the presentation really. Color us crazy. Chilled and warmed soups and salads (I'm talking chilled salads with warmed dressings here) are often excellent if served indeed chilled / hot at the time of serving. Overuse of corn starch or Arrowroot as thickners can be an issue with the soups IMO on most cruise ships (we're talking a cut above typical institutional cooking here folks). Deserts, IMO, are outstanding (but then again I usually only share an order & a nibble or two with my DW.) Bon Appetit! Bon Voyage & Good Health!

cccole Posted May 9, 2009 #24 Share Posted May 9, 2009 The room service breakfasts, anything we wanted. The room service club sandwich. Lobster night in the dining room. And everything I did not have to plan for, shop for, cook, and clean up.!!!!! Cherie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penetangjudy Posted May 9, 2009 #25 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I'm not a fish person and I loved the Mahi Mahi, and for me I went out on a limb to try it. The chocolate souffle was wonderful, I had 2 :o There were these doughnuts in the Lido, like bavarian cream filled and chocolate topped, it was huge and so fresh.....need I say more!!!!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
