Disney Food and Wine Festival 2012, Epcot Center

Welcome to Go Gin Chow restaurant reviews. This is the food ninja. I have a great nice little number that is great for the whole family. Not only does it provide great food but it will keep the kids entertained as well and it is called the Food and Wine Festival in Epcot in Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. This event has many attractions and little shows that will peek your interest and make you begging for more. Especially some of the food, not all, but most. You also have to be careful. They can be pretty pricey, so budget correctly this way you can enjoy  the park and the little events that go on during this day. Each country offers some home-style comfort food that will grab your attention for sure and make sure you show up early cause these lines could be long. So if you want to try  most of these tasty little dishes, you have to be early, just a heads up ok? Anyways, this a hit and not a miss, so definitely try to schedule in this grand event and prepare financially and plan the day, then for sure you will have a perfect day of good food, good spirits and good memories to tell your friends. So take it from the food ninja please enjoy.

Taste of Thailand Festival 2012, Wat Florida Dhammaram, Kissimmee, October 14th, 2012

Hello fellow bloggers this is the food ninja with an update. This will be a nice insider on the taste  of Thailand Festival. All I can say is wow! What an inviting and wonderful time. I really enjoyed the authenticity and traditional look that the Thai temple grounds in Kissimmee had presented. Upon visiting this temple I felt like I was in Thailand. I was amongst the great smells of the beautiful and very delicious looking foods that gave off vibrant colors and had great looking textures as well. Each stand presented a tasteful dish that nobody could refuse with a side of home town hospitality. The shrines within the temple grounds were as beautiful as they were magnificent. The shrines were hypnotizing and also peaceful. My brother and I walked around to see some of the other stands of food while working off the great food that we had just eaten.   Along the way we met some nice people it seemed like the people treated you like family. This is an experience I feel everyone should be a part of. They showcased some displays of the traditional martial arts of Muay Thai or popularly known as kick boxing, and also they showed traditional  dances from across Asia. The only down fall about this festival is that it is only once a year. So keep your ears open for it next mid October cause you really do not want to miss out. Take it from me, the food ninja, you will enjoy.
