duct tape Posted July 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2014 When you leave the MDR in the evening, request whatever you would like for dinner the next evening. If it is on the ship, it is yours! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My SO gets tired of the great food, so it is roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and peas! Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct tape Posted July 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) It is also better to request rack of lamb when the galley is not Making it for the whole MDR. Edited July 17, 2014 by duct tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKCruiseJeff Posted July 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have often asked for the "staff curry". Worthwhile!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnycruise Posted July 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Lobster tail, creamed spinach, green beans and asparagus for the Patio "Hot Rocks" grill. (I'm hoping steakhouse-type vegetables will be added to the regular Hot Rocks menu by the time I take my next SS cruise. Now you get 5-6 small pieces of assorted vegetables on a skewer.)

farbster Posted July 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) We made a whole special Chinese dinner last summer on the Cloud. We were on the London-London cruise that stopped midway in Reykjavik. We had become friendly with a bunch of other couples and decided to host a party! We worked with Jorge the head of the MDR. They printed up invitations and put them on the door and people RSVP'd to the Reception. Cocktails and appetizers were had in the Bar I believe and then we went down to eat. I had worked out with Jorge several days in advance the menu items. I gave him some suggestions and he was able to do every one! Some of the menu items were: salmon in an Asian glaze, beef and broccoli, shrimp lo mein, duck and maybe a chicken dish? They came around and served everything family style. ColonelWes ordered up some of his favorite after dinner drinks and it was a really great time. I got the idea to do it after hearing about people here made an Indian dinner. Other diners were looking over to see what we got. They really did a wonderful job in making everything I asked for. I only picked dishes that I thought would be easy for them to do. I figured they would have beef and broccoli and could make them together :D Edited July 17, 2014 by farbster add picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted July 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Indian or Thai curries, preferably for a whole table. Snails (although they can be ordered on the same day i.e. at lunch), and we have also done the lobster tails on the pool grill. And as a special treat, and with the right maitre'd, beef tartare for lunch in the main dinning room.

zqtchas Posted July 18, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I always take a recipe out of the food section or magazine that is too much trouble to do at home. Sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover45 Posted July 19, 2014 #13 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I ordered a veal chop! It was so good, that several of us ordered it again for the last night of our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy!Or even breakfast. I told one of the chefs that I occasionally liked some grilled fish for breakfast, she said, no problem.

Observer Posted July 25, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I thought I would mention that one can order from the room/suite service menu at any time in the Restaurant. The same kitchen services both the MDR and room service. So, if one feels like a hot dog or burger or large salad or pizza, etc., one can ask for it without advance notice in the MDR. On a couple of occasions I have had a burger and fries/onion rings as a main course for dinner. People around me were puzzled, as these items were not on the daily or "always available" menu.

Rare ronrick1943 Posted August 1, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What about low salt or no salt? Can they do it and what about taste? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tothesunset Posted August 1, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2014 On the Shadow in May we asked if the Galley could produce an Indian meal for 8 people in the MDR the following evening. Of course, it was no problem and absolutely delicious. We asked, the following week, for the same 8 of us to be served an authentic Philippino meal - none of us knowing what to expect. It was wonderful; moreover, the Philippino chef and waiting staff were clearly very proud of their national food and we had the most wonderful dining experience.

Rare Tothesunset Posted August 3, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 3, 2014 A great idea. We will do it on our next trip. Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to take credit for the idea but, on this occasion, I must defer to Wellseasoned whose initiative this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
