BEST & WORST Food at LEGOLAND New York FOOD REVIEW!

My first ever Christmas tree. Leaves are changing colors, the holidays are right around the corner, it's my favorite time of the year. Heading back to New York for a week, see my parents, see how the cabin is, make sure everything's still okay, making sure it's still haunted and the ghosts are good. You know, sometimes I trust ghosts more than people because you can see right through them. Anyway, before hitting off some food for the road, big shout out and thank you to a new sponsor, Sakurako. If you don't know, Sakurako is a monthly subscription box stocked full of 20 different Japanese snacks and treats and teas. And that is sent to subscribers every single month all over the world. Also in every single box, there is one homemade item as well. Look at this. Wow, that's pretty. First of all, you get a postcard. And December's theme, of course, is Hokkaido. So as soon as you open the box, you get this little guide that tells you what every single one of your snacks are. Also a little culture guide telling you about some of the snack makers, different flavor crackers, cookies, bread. I think this is a banana bun. Oh, look how pretty this pudding is. Oh, whoa, look at this. Sake cup. That's so cool. It's a yuzu kuzu mochi. How can I get a much, much, much, much bigger one of these? Oh, wow, this is good. Mmm. That's delicious. Definitely need some tea with that though. Luckily, right here. Oh, that's perfect. Anyway, what's really cool about Sakurako is that these are not the typical snacks you can easily find in convenience stores in Japan. Everything is 100% authentic artisanal snacks, and they're sourced directly from local snack makers. So all this stuff, extremely high-end. And how it works is that the boxes are ordered in the preceding month. So what I'm showing you here is the December box. So if you subscribe in November, you get the December box. These snacks, nothing I've ever tried before. Look at this. White cookie. You can taste the awesome Hokkaido milk in these cookies. Anyway, so Sakurako box has a monthly plan. They also have several prepaid plans, and the plans start around $32.50 per box charged every 12 months. These snacks are shipped directly from Japan. Again, these are not snacks you'll find in typical convenience stores. There's also home goodies in every single box, and the monthly promotional campaigns that gives you extra snacks for extra items. If you want to give this a try, I'm gonna link down below. Use my promo code FRIDAY2021 to claim free authentic Japanese home goodies. With your first Sakurako box order. A few more snacks, and then set to New York. Good morning from New York City. Having some work done on my house, so let me let me show you what's been going on. So I painted everything so it looks slightly less haunted. The cabin is now a lot brighter. I had this done because I did notice there's a lot of wood that's kind of rotting a bit. I did some railings, a path here that used to be all grass. I think I'm gonna plant some trees here. The back patio is all redone. This wood used to be rotted and pretty horrible, like you couldn't run your fingers across it, otherwise you'd get a splinter. The barn, look at this. Ah, that used to be the creepiest thing on this property. Now, shiny new. I should rent that out or something to, you know, more ghosts. A lot of wood was rotting over here, so replaced that. So the wood looks a lot, lot better. Next project, gonna work on the inside. Stay tuned. Now, for some breakfast. They sell buns here. I don't think, I don't know how long they're gonna be keep selling buns for. I think they just sold the farm. But anyway, for now, still get buns. They've grilled the vegetables themselves. Again, I don't know how long they're gonna keep doing this. But near where I live, I'm not gonna find many places that makes fresh buns. And this is a little snack to time me over until lunchtime, which is gonna be at the largest Legoland in America. It just opened, New York Legoland. Let's go. Big Legos. So you guys may not know, I am a huge fan of Legos. I love Legos. I love all the Lego movies, but I don't own a single Lego set because when I was younger, my parents could never afford to buy me Legos. I still remember, I graduated, I moved to New York, living on my own. Went to a toy store because I'm thinking, finally, I'm gonna get my first set of Legos. Actually, sorry, there's no Legos. There's only Lego. My first set of Lego. I remember picking up a small box, saw how much it cost, put it right back. So even though I played with Legos a lot when I was a kid at my friend's house, never got to own my Lego sets. Legoland New York opened. This is about only 20 minutes from my house. Always wanted to come here. Finally, today, I get a chance. I know this place is really for kids, but let's go check out some Legos and eat some food. So bought tickets to come here. Then they give me free tickets to come back. This is cool. Disney never did this. Oh, look at this. A bonsai tree Lego set. Or a roller coaster Lego for four. Oh my, almost $400. This is why my parents never got me Legos. I mean, they're super cool. Maybe I'll buy myself one for my birthday. And of course, part of my experience here is the food. There's the Brick Street Cafe. I think that place is just a bunch of grab-and-go items. See if we can find some hot food. Whole elephant made out of Legos. Whoa, there's a carousel. We can ride Legos. I don't know why. I know that's fake. But I really want to bite out of that steak. Not the vegetables though. So food-wise, there's chicken. There's looks like pulled pork and sausages. Ooh, brownie looks good. Chocolate cake. First plate of food at Legoland. Mac and cheese, potato salad, pulled pork, sausage, chicken, brownie, and chocolate cake. $45. And what's funny about that is if this was in Legos, it probably cost a lot more. I did research a little about what Legoland had to offer food-wise before coming here. So I don't think there's too, too much. So I think today I'm going to be able to try everything, starting with the pulled pork. I'm conflicted because the pulled pork is tough, but it has flavor. The mac and cheese is soft, but it has no flavor. I don't know. I think the actual Lego pieces might taste better. Let's try the chicken. I think I'm still riding the high of how good the food at Knott's Prairie Farm was. That when I saw chicken and pulled pork, I think my expectations were unfairly raised. This looks like a delicious piece of cake. I mean, it looks moist, it's soft, it's gooey. That's a good piece of cake. This thing, first of all, is so rich. It could afford any box of Legos it wants here. The texture is really moist. The chocolate is gooey and delicious. I mean, it's heavy, it's decadent. I just went on a Ninjago ride where I was throwing shurikens at enemies. It took me the whole ride to figure out I was doing it wrong. Worked up an appetite, though, for the Royal Smash Burger and fries. They give you lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles separately. This is a ginormous burger. Four beef patties. It's so interesting because usually when you get four patties in a burger, you have to request four patties. This is the basic burger, and it comes with four patties. Oh! It's spicy. Is it supposed to be spicy? I taste spice. I think I'm going a little crazy. I mean, it tastes like a burger that you typically find in a high school cafeteria. Luckily, I like cafeteria burgers. Cheese is gooey, patty is tender. Mmm, fries are amazing. All right, let's go to Miniature Land. This is what I really wanted to see when I came here. Heading to Miniature Land, but past this, this is the other reason why I'm here. Legoland is famous for Granny's Apple Fries. And when they say granny, they don't mean... It's a Lego granny. I got the Giant Ice Cream Sundae. So, their ice cream here, they have it as green and yellow. Lego color. I think green is vanilla, and the yellow is also vanilla. Fun colors, though. So, this is the sundae, and inside, this is the famous apple fries right in here. Apple fries are delicious. I'm one of those weird people, I don't know why. I love apple pie, I love apple strudel, I love apple everything. I just don't like apple from a tree. I like my apple cooked. It's basically a crispy apple pie. Mmm, you can taste the fresh apple inside. Oh, wait, wait, what is this? No, there's fresh apple slices down here. Whenever I look at apples, like fresh apples, my teeth automatically feel sour. I hate it, I don't even like looking at apples. Especially chopped up ones. But the apple fries are good. This tastes like a fried apple pie a la mode. I told them to, like, tape this back into the fryer and, like, batter this up and fry this up. I really don't like fresh apples. This ice cream is delicious, by the way. Okay, fun Lego colors. This is definitely the best thing I had in this park so far. So fun, too. Only complaint, I read that on the menu, this is supposed to have gummy apples. Where's my gummy apples at? Oh my goodness, I did not know about this. Legoland has an all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta buffet. That is, for some reason, closed today. No! Brickolini's? Oh, man. Oh, that's upsetting. I gotta come back. Oh, free tickets. Gonna use that for this next time. Don't tell me this is closed, too. So there's pizza, there's salad, smoked turkey panini, four-cheese grilled cheese. Whoa. Wait, this is the pizza that would have been on the buffet? Alright, maybe I'm not missing out. Thank you so much. You too, thank you. Lego grilled cheese. I mean, it's hard to mess up grilled cheese. The only thing I wish would have some tomato soup to dip this in. Not bad. I always wonder about this, because these are all, like, individual pieces. I wonder whether there's a machine or a computer that just assembles all this together, where you can actually get a job at Lego as a vice president of building Lego blocks. Is that a position? Ooh, Lego pirate ship. We're finally at Miniature World. This is so cool. Look at this. It's like the whole world represented here in Legos. There's Hollywood. So it's Legowood here, of course. That's definitely Chinatown right there. Ooh, this is San Francisco Chinatown. Look, the trolley's moving. This is the coolest part of Legoland for me, just looking at this. That is so neat. Got the Golden Gate Bridge over there. I think that's the, uh, this is Pier 39. Oh, the famous sea lions. Fisherman's Wharf right here. Oh, Las Vegas. That brings back memories. The Stratosphere. Tons of hotels. Oh, I got the Luxor, Venetian, Bellagio. So the good people at Legoland decided that Circus Circus isn't worth the Lego blocks. Nah. Oh, the Grand Canyon. I think. Ooh, Pharaoh's Buffet. I want to go to Pharaoh's Buffet. Oh, you gotta step with them. The scales at nine bricks. Reading technique cannot be beat. Make some noise for the Magical Yellow! Oh, this is so cool. Central Perk. Oh, and also like a, like a ship and a bottle. I'm going for friends. My first ever Lego set. No, no, no, no, no way. I'm just shipping a bottle. This is my first ever Lego set. This is so cool. Thank you. This burger place, I just saw the picture. I was like, this looks like a good burger. The style is definitely more of a smash burger, not a big menu. Just a cheeseburger or impossible burger. Simple buns, small, thin little beef patty. Some kind of sauce on the bottom. And grilled onions and pickles inside. Really cheesy. One patty. This is freaking delicious. This is really, really, really good. I mean, why did I only just get one burger? I know I'm going somewhere else after this, but I'm cooking myself right now. This is such a good, I could just sit here and eat this burger all day. Just continuously order burgers and eat it. Wow. Also got tons of butter, tons of cheese. Very, very, very nice, delicate patty. This is definitely not one of those walk around, all fancy, stuck up kind of burgers. But everything about this, from the meat, from the crunchy onions and pickles to the cheese. Just works perfectly. Wow. This is an amazing burger. Price not half bad either. Again, my only advice to you, don't make the same mistake I did. Get at least four. Wow, such a simple place. Produces such an amazing burger. This is so good. You know what? Had to get another burger. There's something just so simply delicious about it. Double patty this time. One bite. Mouth just fills up with juice. Again, nothing fancy. Just freaking good. Hmm. Lunch number two. Five Spice, best pho in the city. Not even close. So good. Wow. And I didn't get the short rib pho like I got last time. Because I got a short rib dish. This is a short rib rice dish. Hmm. Look how easy this thing... comes apart. Hmm. Barely need to bite this. Ah, it's so good. In the pho, you get all different types of meat. Got some beef balls. You got the short rib in here as well. Some brisket. But even with all the meat in here, broth is the star. Couldn't really decide between rice and noodles. Got both. Alright, gotta hurry up and eat. It's about to rain. Gotta get out of the city before the storm comes. It just got really dark really quickly. This is 2 p.m. right now. Look at the sky. It is about to storm. Oh, this is so crazy. Again, 2 p.m. Looks like it's nighttime right now. This is a big storm. This is not gonna be a fun drive. Oh my goodness. It is hailing. Whoa. That is a lot of hail. A big size hail too. Look at this. And just like that, it's over. I feel bad for those people who are doing outdoor dining. Whoa. This looks good. Show and show. This is pretty. There's chilies in here. Fresh raspberries. Mochi balls. If you want chewy, get a mochi ball. If you want refreshing, suck on the jelly. I also got a honeycomb one. This one comes with a honeycomb. I think this is sticky rice. This one is really floral. It's Chinese jelly. So they put that in the drink. And a little bit of syrup. Refreshingly delicious. Well, the rain has stopped. I got my burger. I got my pho. I got my pretty drink. Now I can go home. As always, thank you guys so much for watching. Until we meet again, see you later.
