This May, we’re thrilled to be shining a light on Asian American Pacific Islander heritage month and “A World of Voices” celebrations! Throughout the month, the culinary teams will be showcasing some of the diverse cultures through their cuisines with both new and existing items that will delight you with each and every bite.
The chefs have taken inspiration from various cultures and put their own flair and their own personal connections they’ve infused into these dishes. While some of these Asian-inspired items are exclusive to May, including the Korean Fried Chicken Bowl with Cucumber Namasu at various Walt Disney World Resort hotels and the Bangkok Chicken Wings at Nomad Lounge, there are plenty of delicious dishes that you can enjoy all year long at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, like the Beef Bulgogi Burrito at Lucky Fortune Cookery and the Kung Pao Bao at Lamplight Lounge.
Some of the best ways to experience the cultures around you is through food, and I for one am very excited to share with you the many ways you can experience Asian American and Pacific Islander heritages both this month and every month at Disney Parks.
Let’s go on a foodie adventure with this year’s Foodie Guide to Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
