It’s been a good year and a half since I last visited Whispering Canyon Cafe for dinner, so after a day at the Magic Kingdom, we were looking for somewhere to go for dinner. I was able to get a last minute reservation for four at the nearby Whispering Canyon Cafe located in the Wilderness Lodge. My family hadn’t been there in ages, and my youngest sister, from what we could recall, had never been. I warned her about the shenanigans that occur at the restaurant, and our server could read we were just there to be spectators.
My sister and I weren’t very hungry, so we stuck to the appetizer menu. We started with the Flash Fried Navajo Bread, a dish I wanted to try on my last visit with Matt. The crisp yet chewy dough is served with Citrus-Honey and Tomato Jam, which bring a nice sweet and slightly acidic bite to the bread. My sister and I both liked it, but my mom tried a piece and wasn’t a fan of it’s chewiness. Although, I think because it had been sitting by the time she tried a piece, it was a bit chewier than when it was fresh.
My sister ordered the Slow-smoked Pulled Pork Spring Rolls which come with a Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce. For $12.49, the portion seems a bit skimpy, but she thought they were good. She offered me a bite to try, and the pork was really smoky. I might have to give these a try at home with some leftover smoked pork we have in the freezer.
