I was there solo from 1/15 to 1/22, but I mostly just wandered around and nibbled at the food booths. I didn't do any of the special Festival events, although the Figment mural wall looked really neat. As far as the nibbles go, I thought that the deconstructed BLT and the non-alcoholic deconstructed breakfast drink at the Deconstructed Dish were really good. The taiyaki at the Japanese booth was yummy, but the red bean flavor was more subtle than I was expecting. I was glad that it came with whipped cream and a little bit of sesame frosting/sauce, it added some sweetness that the dish needed. The sipping chocolate at the American booth is, in fact, melted down chocolate and not hot cocoa like I was expecting. Two of them were really good; the third was good, but so thick it was like drinking fudge. I took my cup of that back to my room with me, stuck it in the fridge, and ate it with a spoon the next day. I tried the panda rice cake and the shrimp tower at the Chinese booth. I wish they had done more with the rice cake - it was literally just sweet rice formed together into a round face with round ears, with seaweed paper stuck on to form the panda face. Compared to the interesting things the other booths are doing with food, it just felt really plain to me. The shrimp tower was good but not enough food for the price. The charcuterie board from Canada was really yummy, but I wish it had come with one more cheese to try. It was very meat heavy, with like four-ish different meats and only two cheeses. The ingredients were all top-notch, though.
