Disney4me Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 The arrival of Pandora – The World of AVATAR to Disney’s Animal Kingdom gets closer every day! And more and more details are starting to emerge about this new land opening on May 27th. Pandora Concept Art ©Disney Just a few days ago, in fact, we learned more about Pandora’s dining options, which include Satu’li Canteen, the restaurant’s main dining establishment, and Pongu Pongu, a drink station run by an expat who visited Pandora and decided to stay and set up shop for the long-term. Pongu Pongu Concept Art ©Disney Pongu Pongu will be home to an exclusive Pandora snack — Lumpia! The cast of the ABC daytime cooking show, The Chew, offered a sneak preview on today’s episode! The Cast of The Chew at the 2015 Rockin’ Burger Block Party Lumpia is a popular street food in the Philippines and Indonesia. It’s of Chinese origin and can be compared to egg rolls. Though typically filled with savory veggies and meat filling, Disney has created a sweet take on the snack. At Pongu Pongu, the rolls will be filled with pineapple cream cheese.

(Not that they’d be allowed to say anything else, but…whatever.) Television Shot of ABC’s The Chew To summarize the tasting, Clinton Kelly said they taste exactly like “pineapple cream pie in an egg roll.” Television Shot of Lumpia on ABC’s The Chew So, there it is… the very first taste of Pandora!
