Over at Golden Dreams, this booth is serving up snacks, bites, and drinks that have been dreamed up in the odd catacombs of your wildest imagination.

Clustering these three delicious yet random items on the same menu was not on our bingo card this year, but we’re here for it. Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed Musubi Fried Rice for $8.50This new festival item is an Aulani Resort-inspired steamed rice with egg, glazed spiced ham, umami mayo, and furikake. We loved all the different textures and flavors of this rice. The ham has a little bit of a kick, but it’s not super spicy. You also get a hint of seaweed flavor with the rice. The umami mayo has a rich flavor and combines all the flavors together. The rice and egg were cooked perfectly.

Wrapping the nosh on this menu, we grabbed the Cherry Cobbler Pot de Creme for $7.50.  This plant-based festival item is Vanilla custard, cherry filling, and oat crumble. This basically tasted like a vanilla pudding topped with a sweet and tart cherry compote. It’s comforting, though, simple and tasty. There’s also plenty of oat crumble topping.

Okay, now that we’ve had some eats…let’s get to drinks!

Drinks

Returning to this booth this year is the tasty little beverage that we’ve seen at this festival for a few years now. This is the Blueberry Pancake Cold Brew for $7.25. This drink is a Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Mexico Origin Coffee, with maple, brown butter & demerara syrup, oat milk, and a blueberry sweet cream (made with cream, oat milk, vanilla syrup, blueberry syrup, and purée). This coffee is garnished with cinnamon-flavored cereal crumble.

Blueberry Pancake Cold Brew

When we tried it in the past, we thought it was a smidge underwhelming. This year, we really didn’t get much blueberry flavor until we mixed the drink up, but the main flavor is still just the cold brew. Although it’s Mexico-origin coffee, we thought it tasted about the same as Joffrey’s other cold brew options across the parks. Although the drink is sweet, we also didn’t get a strong maple flavor from it.

OVERALL

Overall, we’d come to this booth again for the two food items, but maybe not the drink, as it really didn’t wow us. However, both the fried rice and Pot de Creme are worth visiting this food booth for, so keep that in mind.
