Figment’s 2018 Holiday Celebration (November-December 2018), Continued...
I just realized that I never finished posting the photos from the holiday trip!
Alien's Pizza Planet, Dinner
Cosmic Chili Pasta - Chef's Choice of Pasta Topped with Chili, Jalapeno Cheese Sauce, and Corn Chips. This was introduced as the seasonal offering during the later half of HalloweenTime. Figment had hoped to try it then, but it wasn't offered yet. The Aliens still had it on the menu during the Holidays! It was pretty good; the chili had a nice robust flavor, but not too spicy.
Nebula Noodle Salad - Grilled Chicken Breast atop Edamame, Sweet Green Beans, Mint, Cilantro, Red Cabbage, shredded Carrot, and Cold Soba Noodles in a Ginger-Lime Vinaigrette. This is still Figment's favorite salad at Alien's Pizza Planet.
Green Alien Holiday Macaron - Still very cute and very yummy!
Award Wieners, Snack
Award Wiener always has a number of seasonal offerings!
Holiday Beer Cheese Dog - Kielbasa Sausage topped with Caramelized Onions, Sauerkraut, Beer Cheese, and Green Onions served with Filmstrip Fries. This was surprisingly spicy. Nothing in the description indicated it would be hot, but the beer cheese sauce was quite spicy.
Gingerbread Funnel Cake Fries - Churro Funnel Cake Fries topped with Crumbled Gingerbread, Caramel, Icing, and Whipped Topping. These were so good!
Stocking Stuffer Funnel Cake Fries - Churro Funnel Cake Fries topped with Peppermint Icing, Crushed Chocolate Cream Cookies, Candy-coated Chocolates, Crushed Peppermint, and Whipped Topping. These were a bit hard to eat (the M&M's kept falling off), but they were still very yummy.
Bengal Barbeque, Snack
Pork Belly Skewer - Grilled Pork Belly with Hoisin Sauce, Pickled Carrots and Daikon topped with Cilantro.
Jungle Julep - Refreshing Slush of Pineapple, Orange, Grape, and Lemon Juices. Still good, even when it's chilly outside!
Carthay Circle Restaurant, Lunch
Figment really enjoyed his lunch at Carthay Circle during HalloweenTime, so he decided to go back again during the holiday season.
Carthay Signature Fried Biscuits - Stuffed with White Cheddar, Bacon, and Jalapeño with Apricot-Honey Butter. This is still Figment's favorite appetizer at Carthay! So yummy!
Cuban Braised Pork - Grilled Pineapple Salsa, Lime Vinaigrette. This was something new for Figment! The pork was juicy and tender, and wrapped in a filo dough packet. The salsa added a nice brightness and slightly sweet note.
Korean Chili Glazed Angus Sirloin - Cashew Fried Rice, Tropical Pineapple Red Bell Pepper Sauce. Figment really liked this steak last time, so he was very happy to see that it was still on the menu. Still very tender and had lots of good flavor.
Roulade - Alas, Figment forgot to take a picture of the menu and he couldn't find this item on the online menus. It was a rolled steak filled with mushrooms, onions, and a chimichurri sauce. The meat was very tender and the filling was very tasty. The salad was a bit to salty, but it went well with the meat.
Snowflake Glow "Cube" - The Carthay had another exclusive glow cube; this time it was a snowflake!
