Hong Kong Disneyland: The Glutinous Pancake Returns

So, look: I just gave hullabaloo to HKDisneylandReview and in the course of that hullabaloo mentioned an item called Mickey's Seafood Glutinous Pancake. After a lame Godzilla joke, I thought I'd heard the last of the Glutinous Pancake.

But it stuck with me (as likely it would were I to eat one) and so I used the excuse of a slow Disney news day to learn more about the 'GlutCake'. My quest took me to MsPamCake (no relation), a foodie blog with a recent post by the owner, P. Lee, who just returned from Hong Kong Disneyland and a memorable encounter with the GlutCake at the park's Crystal Lotus restaurant.

The GlutCake looks almost exactly like the famed Mickey waffle, except that you wouldn't want to put syrup on it (they come with hot sauce, instead) and you ought to let small children know the difference. Lee decrees the GlutCake hard but cute.

In the remainder of her Crystal Lotus review ("Dim Sum Disney Style"), Lee comments on the other dishes she ate there and illustrates her points with pictures, including an interior shot of the Little Pigs Barbecued Pork Buns (the exterior of which is shown in the picture below this hullabaloo). For dessert Lee has a candid shot of the Creamy Custard Glutinous Ball, which she calls satisfying.

There's not much else on MsPamCake about Disney, but the Crystal Lotus review is worth the visit - and her other reviews are pretty good, too.
