We are about to head to one of the key meals of the week - the "Equadorian Feast." We have been advised to bring cameras as it is a beautiful meal. And yes, this is the way we dine. The food has been incredible.
Breakfast begins with an array of fruit and generally a local fruit that we have never tried before. There is then a choice of Equadorian breakfast dished. Today, I had "Tigrolles" which is a scrambled egg with plantians and peanut sauce. Quite good! If you are not feeling adventurous, there is always a platter of scrambled eggs and bacon, and an omelette station as well. Finally, there is a station of toast, rolls, and pastries. After you collect food from the buffet, you choose a table in dining room with white table clothes, 5 pieces of silverware, coffee cups, and water glasses. A server comes over to offer a fresh juice every morning (Starwberry today!) and fresh coffee.
Lunch is buffet style as well. Always a plate of cheeses, fruits, and salad bar. Then a series of choices that range from root veggies to a grilled fish. Great flavor.
Dinner is a bit different. You order a fish, meat, veggie, or combo order during the day. (For example, today we need to select Lamb, Amerjack, or Risotta.) At dinnertime, dinner is served and always includes a soup first, followed by salad, entree, and dessert.
And one of my favorite parts of all three meals is the announcement that precedes the meal. Sebastian, the Cruise manager has a meodious voice and he says,
"My friends, Lunch is ready. Please join us in the dining room for some fresh Equadorian food." I am reminded of this lovely moment as Sebastian is calling us now. Must run!
Love to all and more photos soon.
Kirsten I think you were meant to be a blogger. Your attention to detail creates wonderful imagery. It’s as if Sebastian is calling for me now!!
