Favorite Dessert or Main entree

[gigi65]

While reviewing the sample menus that were posted for the MDR, Just curious, what others "seasoned" cruisers would suggest. I love Creme Brulee and I see that is a regular item. Is it any good? I have seen many reviews of the speciality restaurants but wondering what recommendations you have for the MDR entrees and desserts.

Rosemary Lamb Shank

 

Key Lime Pie

[Klstaack]

I'm very interested in hearing about this too.

Key Lime Pie always as long as it is not the sugar free one.

[raytownlady]

I love creme brulee too and I thought it was very good on RCI. I especially like the burnt crust on top; its my favorite part!

Grand Marnier Souffle

[nelly55]

Another vote for grand marnier soufflé, for main the trout was really good and available most nights on Indy in May.

I grew up on homemade desserts, so creme brulee doesn't even tempt me.

 

Key lime pie is good though.

The Key Lime pie is indeed outstanding. Got the recipe many years ago when on Nordic Empress so my wife makes it at home special times throughout the year. Can't live without it!

Okay, not to be Debbie Downer, but I reallllly didn't like the BBB creme brulee on the every night dessert menu. I am a big fan normally but the sugared top wasn't hard at all, and the custard was liquid-y and didn't seem to be fully set. It was almost like a flan. Not my favorite :( Maybe just a bad night/batch?

 

BUT I absolutely loved the filet of beef on formal night #1 and the braised beef duo later in the week! (Can you tell I love beef?) The lamb was also really good and came out nice and medium rare (as I ordered) :) I also love the souffles and the bread and butter pudding!

From the old menu the sugar free coconut vanilla cake!

Grand Marnier Souffle

 

This was delish, but on our last cruise we also had a chocolate coffee souffle that blew everything else out of the water.

[ReneeFLL]

I vote for Creme Brulee. It is equally as good on RCCL as on Celebrity.

Chicken Vindaloo Curry- not on any menu in MDR

Filet Mignon in Giovanni's

Creme Brûlée

[Goes Cruising]

I always look forward to the roast duck. Cruising is the only time I really order/eat duck, but it's my favorite!

 

I second the scallop risotto, and have successfully ordered it as an entree rather than an appetizer.

[dcward89]

I loved the bread & butter sticky pudding (I think that's the name of it) on our last cruise. I didn't try it until the 2nd to last night and I could have eaten it every night of our cruise if I'd have known how good it was!

[celly]

Filet of beef

Rosemary lamb shank

Coffee Icecream

 

and Indonesian nasi goreng with sate(chicken skewers) at lunch time, this was a nice surprise on the Liberty TA in may this year.

We always used to order a duck entrée to split, but the last two times have found that it was dry and stringy. We still like the potato croquettes and red cabbage that accompany it, though.

Key Lime Pie! Also read about the key lime pie martini on these boards...definitely going to have to try that!!

[cruisehabits]

Thai chicken breast red curry......excellent!! :):D

[A Pisces]

Wasabi encrusted fish fillet, scallops risotto, turkey dinner, also I thought that the fisherman's platter was very good! I love the fruit flavored cold soups! For desserts, BBB creme brulee, sticky bread pudding, and anything fruity!

[ryano]

Loved the lamb shank

 

All desserts are "meh". If I had to pick one, I thought the sugar free key lime pie was pretty good.

Grand Marnier Souffle

[debshomespun]

RCI creme brulee is not very good. It is a heavier type. Celebrity makes the very best!! My favorite is also the Grand Marinier Souffle. Yummy!
