Japan 2018: Disneysea Food Compilation – Nautilus Galley, Sultan’s Oasis, Bayside Takeout, Restaurant Sakura

Important! Munch on goodies through out the day to keep up with the theme park activities 🍱. Numerous options are available and these are what we got.

Nautilus Galley

Location: Mysterious Island
What we ate: Limited Edition Queen of Hearts Gyoza Dog Halloween Snack

Halloween season also means that there will be limited edition food items aside from souvenirs, special attractions, and park decor. The gyoza dog is dressed up for the occasion in black and red, inspired by the Queen of Hearts attire. In essence, this snack is like a hotdog bun version of the local siopao (Philippine version of the Chinese dimsum). Minced pork and veggies filled up the mantou bun. Though colored, the mantou bun tastes the same as regular white ones.

Sultan’s Oasis

Location: Arabian Coast
What we ate: Curry Bun Chandu Tail – it wasn’t a Chandu tail anymore, it was a Chandu face 🙂

The texture of the filling is different from the dimsum earlier. Again, the bun itself tastes the same. For the filling, you can taste the curry chicken flavor, but do not expect a strong curry flavor. Just enough to let you know it has curry. Plus points for the packaging – the bun itself forms the silhouette and color of the face and Chandu’s hat while the plastic package overlays the eyes, nose, and whiskers of the adorable tiger cub of Sinbad.

Bayside Takeout

Location: Port Discovery
What we ate: Sushi Roll – Chicken Shrimp Katsu

In celebration of the 35th Anniversary of Tokyo Disney resort, this Chicken Shrimp Katsu roll is packaged in the limited edition snack wrap (as I call it). The sticky rice used is similar to maki rolls. This is actually quite filling and among the snacks, I liked this the most. Beer is actually sold at this store. You could take your time and hang out here, chillin with a beer in you hand as the sun goes down, or you can go explore the rest of the park like we did after a snack. Maybe that’s for another trip. Ride attractions are priority for this trip!

Restaurant Sakura

Location: American Waterfront
What we ate: Tempura meal and Udon meal

After having quick bites for a good part of the day, we decided to have a full meal at around 4:00 in the afternoon. We ordered two set meals – udon for the noodle lover, and tempura meal for the rice eater.

Never lacking a mickey touch, notice the mickey shaped carrot in the udon and the mickey in the tempura set. What you are really paying for in most theme park meals is the ambiance and presentation of it all. The food here isn’t bad at all though. The udon had the taste of mushroom while every piece of tempura was crunchy and freshly cooked.

The meals don’t leave you half hungry – it does a good job satisfying your refueling needs. But of course it is more expensive at around 2,000 Yen compared to the snacks a while ago ranging from 500 Yen to 600 Yen. After the meal, you have to spend some time walking around or take a break from attractions that speed up, twist and turn, or drop you. Get those souvenirs or take those Instagram shots while the digestion is going on.

There’s something about the items they sell in theme parks that make you want to take all of them home if not for the price tag that comes with it. I almost bought a sakura-shaped chopstick holder sold together with the tempura meal – which I would never use because we use spoon and fork as utensils back home. Speaking of shopping, here are some of my Disneysea souvenirs. The coin purse is really nice! Limited edition, and very functional for everday use 👌
