Compressed Watermelon Tataki

This plant-based watermelon dish includes pickled watermelon rind, yuzu pearls, watermelon foam, and wasabi. What did we think? Here’s a review from WDW Magazine Communications Director Tatjana Lazar: “This watermelon – as opposed to the watermelon Fruit Pizza at the Odyssey Booth – was good. It’s very fresh and very juicy. It has a salty topping and a little bit of crunch from the sesame seeds, and a hint of spiciness that gives a punch at the end. A delicious, refreshing dish!”

Angry Crab

This seafood dish features whole crispy soft-shell crab with green papaya salad, mango-sriracha fluid gel, and coconut-lime foam with pomegranate and mango crush pearls. What did we think? Here’s a review from WDW Magazine Communications Director Tatjana Lazar: “Honestly, I’m impressed with the portion. It’s very meaty, [with] good crunch on the fried batter on the crab. Make sure that when you’re eating it, you dip your crab in the sweet sauce that’s drizzled around the outside of the plate. It is just perfection! A little tangy and sweet with the saltiness of the crab.”

Watermelon Mary

A spin on your typical tomato-based Bloody Mary, this cocktail features watermelon paired with potato vodka. What did we think? Here’s a review from WDW Magazine Communications Director Tatjana Lazar: “This drink is so syrupy, I can’t drink it! It’s like drinking some kind of crazy, sugary syrup. There are these popping things in there – it’s a weird texture to have with this very sweet drink.”
