Cheeseburger Steamed Pods – Bao Buns from Satu’li Canteen

We love to get a fast food meal at Satu’li Canteen in Pandora — The World of Avatar. The theming for this spot fits right in with the land, as it’s a mess hall for the RDA that was converted into a peaceful dining location for visitors to Pandora.

We’re big fans of the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods, which are basically cheeseburger-flavored bao buns!

Spiked Dole Whip Floats from Tamu Tamu Refreshments

Try the DOLE Whip Pineapple Hard Cider Float made of DOLE Whip Pineapple and served over ACE Pineapple Craft Cider (so this treat does contain alcohol).

The cider is very light and refreshing and mixes well with the classic DOLE whip. You can definitely taste pineapple.
