The main reason why I chose Royal Banquet Hall for our lunch spot is definitely because of the beautiful Disney Princesses theme 😍 As a Disney Princesses fan (including my mom as well), we had lunch in this restaurant near The Castle of Magical Dreams. Although they have wide indoor and outdoor areas, but it was super crowded.

The indoor area is so beautiful with some statues, such as Sleeping Beauty (the giant one), Cinderella, Beauty & The Beast. I really love their interior decoration.

So, this restaurant is divided into 4 sections to order, such as International, Entrées Royale, Grill, and Japan. We chose the menu from Entrées Royale and luckily, the queue wasn't that long. The serving is fast as the foods are cooked already. After we got our foods and drinks, we went to the cashier to pay. Lastly, it was quite a "homework" for us to be able to find a table. Finally, we could find an available table outside.

I tried Abalone Seafood and Chicken Fried Rice Combo / 鮑魚海鮮雞肉炒飯套餐 (HKD 165). This combo consists of the meal itself with the drink (various soft drinks of Craftea that we could choose). This meal comes in a big portion! Fried rice with abalone, shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, and carrots in a thick and delicious gravy. The abundant fried rice and toppings combine well. We love this...

Very busy when you get to peak lunchtime often with a long queue to get in. When you eventually get in, you’re not guaranteed a seat either so you will have to be vigilant and keep an eye out for leaving diners and empty seats.

The decor; as expected from Disney is very princess forward with statues of many popular couples like Cinderella/Prince Charming, Belle/Beast, etc.

There’s four food options available - they tend to change their menu quarterly. They are separated to ‘International’, ‘Entrees’, ‘Japanese’, and ‘Grill’.

As this was Halloween, I had opted for the Halloween Seafood Pizza with my partner having the meat lovers pizza with a side of garlic bread. Thankfully we had paid for meal vouchers ahead of time and just used our tickets to pay.

The garlic bread was rock solid! It could easily cut your mouth if you weren’t careful. The pizzas were ok, it’s a bit unfortunate they weren’t more themed (previous years had the pizza shaped into mickey’s head)

The Halloween pizza was definitely something- if you aren’t a fan of seafood, this is not the pizza for you! Topped quite generously with prawns, mussels, scallops and pesto sauce - it certainly LOOKED the part of a horrifying meal! The taste was ok but i unfortunately could not finish it.

All in all an ok experience that is to...
