Day 6 Dinner in Taste Dining Room on the Norwegian Getaway

For our second last night of dinner on board the Norwegian Getaway cruise, we returned back to one of the main dining rooms to eat.  For this night, they had a chocolate special during the dessert course where every single one of the desserts were chocolate-related!  We definitely wanted to be there for that! 😛

Again, we were smart and knew to arrive at dinner early.  We ate at Taste Dining Room (Taste and Savor looked exactly the same inside).  Thus, our usual crew of eight was seated by 5:30 p.m., ready to order, and eat!

Still light out at 6 p.m. as the ship was still docked at Cozumel, Mexico

Day 6 Dinner menu at Taste Dining Room

Potato Gnocchi & Italian Sausage
-snow peas, green beans, tomato concassé

The Potato Gnocchi & Italian Sausage was divine!!!  😀  So good!  It was the perfect blend of seasoning and salt for me.  The potato gnocchis were perfectly made too!

French Onion Soup
-Gruyère cheese crouton

This French Onion Soup was very mediocre; not like the first time I had it on a cruise.

Beef Burger Slider
-country potato bun, sriracha cabbage slaw

Delicious Beef Burger Slider!

The Beef Burger Slider was so good!!!  Tasty burger :).  I finally knew what all the hype was about since so many people had ordered it before me and raved about it.  It’s amazing how something so small could have such a satisfying result!

Boston Bib Wedge Salad
-artichokes, red radishes, cucumber, red onions, ranch dressing

The Boston Bib Wedge Salad was so disappointing.  It was just a iceberg lettuce salad with fresh greenery.  Why do they call it a “Boston Bib Wedge” Salad anyway?

Breaded Cajun Shrimp & Braised Beef Short Ribs
-leek & potato mash, broccoli, shiraz red wine sauce

The Breaded Cajun Shrimp & Braised Beef Short Ribs were all right.  The braised beef ribs were soft.  The breaded Cajun shrimp was fried poorly.

Whole Roasted Turkey Sage & Onion Stuffing
-roasted potatoes, brussel sprouts, giblet gravy

The Whole Roasted Turkey Sage & Onion Stuffing was absolutely delicious and so smooth and lean!!!  The mashed potatoes were good. :9

Red ‘Dal’ Lentil Curry
-tamarind rice, poppadum

I tried a bite of the Red ‘Dal’ Lentil Curry that Sarah ordered and it was absolutely delicious and so flavourful!  We should have ordered this to share too!

Tonight’s desserts were all chocolate:

Profiterole Chocolate Cream (no sugar added)
-berries compote, dark chocolate sauce

The Profiterole Chocolate Cream was my least favourite.  I didn’t like the shell since it was mushy.

White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse
-sweet raspberry coulis, white & dark chocolate glaze

The White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse was so good!

Chocolate Nutella Pot De Creme
-whipped cream, dry chocolate tuile

The Chocolate Nutella Pot De Creme was good too!

Beetroot Chocolate Cake
-chocolate buttercream filling, lemon curd sauce, cocoa nibs crunch

The Beetroot Chocolate Cake was decent and good.

Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Bar
-red wine syrup, chocolate twist

The Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Bar was too sweet but dense and reminded us of Christian’s birthday cake last year.

“Opera” Cake
-coffee creme anglaise, candied almond

The Opera Cake was the best.  Light, smooth, and coffee-like.

We were all so full by the end!!  Good thing we had digestive enzymes to help us break down all the carbs and protein. :3

All six chocolate desserts we got

Keep tuning in for the last dinner we enjoyed on board the seven-day Norwegian Getaway cruise ship and for the excursions that we went on! 🙂
