Your favorite buffet items

[KenNBarbie]

We all love the bread pudding, but what else is your go-to, must have item... breakfast, lunch, entrees or deserts.

 

love, eat, cruise

[mrspeck]

Many times I order pecan danishes only for breakfast...love ‘em!

I have always enjoyed the Egg Benedict station since everything is made to order and you actually get real eggs (which you do not get in scrambled eggs or omelets).

My custom made omelet and english muffin for breakfast.

 

Lunch - burger and fries at the Dive In

[VennDiagram]

The roast turkey that is sometimes offered at lunch at the carving station. WITH cranberry sauce (y)

 

 

Second would be the Eggs Benedict at breakfast.

Salad Bar in the Lido

[fatcat04]

Another make me hungry thread. :p

 

One evening I think we ate our weight in lamb chops in the lido :D They are not always stellar in the lido but that night.. wow.

 

I second the bread pudding. It is dreamy.

The last time we were on HAL (Rotterdam) I asked the Omelet cook if he could make me a 3 egg omelet with real eggs (the kind you actually crack). He quietly told me "no" and that he would get in trouble if he used real eggs (which he had). The real eggs were only used for things like over easy and eggs, soft boiled, and eggs Benedict..where they cannot possibly use the homogenized pasteurized goo out of a box. In fairness to HAL it is not just them...but quite a few of the mass market lines are now using commercialized and treated boxed eggs..because they are less expensive and easier to store then crates of real eggs.

Salad bar. I could have that for lunch every day.

I may be in the minority, but not a fan of the bread pudding.

Lox on an English muffin for breakfast & whatever Indonesian food is for lunch. So looking forward to this!!

[ellieanne]

I never miss schnitzel day in the Lido. It's one of my favorite things. I also like the omelette station at breakfast and the pasta station at lunch because you can customize your dish. Some of the individual plated salads this last cruise were really good, especially the ones with chickpeas. I tend to have a bit of this and a bit of that for lunch, so my lunches end up being things like an individual plated salad, a schnitzel, and then rice & beans from the taco bar. Or a hot dog from the Dive In with the side vegetables from the Lido. I love being able to mix and match what I'm feeling each day.

Lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion and capers on a squishy, white bread poppy seed roll.

Crepe with butter, lemon and sugar.

Peanutbutter pie.

Banoffee Pie.

Grab and go sandwiches -esp. egg salad with bacon, and just about anything in the small narrow baguettes.

Bummer Hank, I hate that goo too. I had no problem getting real cracked eggs in the PG and in the Lido on the P'dam. but she's a special ship ;)

 

OP - I love the "sticky buns" at beakfast in the Lido

 

And I LOVE the lunch in the PG. Well worth the small charge ;)

Neither of us like the bread pudding -- sauce is way too watery. Bread is over cooked.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Breakfast -- have them bring me sticky buns once in a while from the Lido -- we eat in the Pinnacle Grill.

Lunch -- Rotisorre chicken in the Lido.

Dinner is either in the Pinnacle or Tamarind on ships that have this restaurant. Filet in both places.

Desserts -- fortune cookie (Tamarind), Thai donuts (Tamarind), Chocolate Volcano Cake (Pinnacle Grill), souffles -- anywhere.

Sate Ayam with Bami Goreng at the Asian Wok station

[RJ2002]

We also enjoy most of the Asian offerings in the Lido.

 

During our most recent cruise on the Prinsendam, I asked the sandwich guy if he could make me a club sandwich similar to the one they serve through room service. He did a great job!

Not a fan of bread pudding.

 

Love the cookies in the Lido. Never met a cookie I didn't like.

[SetAnOpenCourse]

I like the wide choice of rolls and bread - add butter, and a cup of good tea, I’m happy...

Mashed potatoes.

 

DW always looks for Lugaw (rice soup) at the Asian station for breakfast.

[SilvertoGold]

Sate Ayam with Bami Goreng at the Asian Wok station

 

Finally, another fan of bami goreng, instead of the more common nasi goreng!

Plus those excellent, huge rice crackers (krupuk?)

 

Enak sekali!

[Saphire]

--Omelette station, love that they have goat cheese and so many other things to add to your omelette.

 

--Salad bar, especially love the fresh tuna. Add sesame dressing and it truly is amazing!

 

--Sushi, incredible variety.

 

--Eggs benedict. They used to offer 6 different kinds but now only seem to highlight one each day. They are all good!

. . . what else is your go-to, must have item... breakfast, lunch, entrees or deserts.

 

Must have --- The raisin rolls on the Lido breakfast buffet.

[Wehwalt]

I prefer the little chocolate croissants on the Lido line, assuming they've been made flaky (some of the bakers seem to make them big, flat and not very good). If you get there early, sometimes they are still a little warm.

[Click.Write.Post.]

I loved the fantail rolls in the ms Amsterdam’s Lido Marketplace that were served on my last cruise. So good, in fact, I had two each day. It was an over indulgence, I’ll admit-but dang they were good!
