Cheer Up With Food

Rose. Rabbit. Lie  at The Cosmopolitan is one of the most interesting places I've been to on  The Strip .  I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole like Alice and somehow landed at this restaurant!  Rose. Rabbit. Lie. has multiple rooms that has a bar, speakeasy (separate drink menu from the bar), and has a show called Vegas Nocturne that plays at three different times throughout the night w/ different prices per time slot.  We opted to just dine in and will watch the show at another time.  Just eating at the dining room was great experience for me and my group! The lovely dining room- I love how detailed everything was from the silverware, menu, and to the art: Rose. Rabbit. Lie. has a creative drink menu.  The drinks on the top are  Chrysanthemum and   Mark Twain .  At the bottom is  Floradora Imperial  and Vivante Water - Earth friendly water: This restaurant serves tapa style dishes, I was impres...

Last June my fiance and I went to the SF Bay Area for a day and a half... to eat!  Well that was just one of the reasons for our short trip.  Since it was his first time visiting there, I wanted him to try as much foods as he could and we succeeded! The night we arrived, we came to this phở place, Pho Huong in San Jose. This restaurant was one of the few late night joints in town.  I remember the broth was excellent (it was not too salty, I know I say that a lot in my posts haha)! And I was glad to see they had a phở dish that only came with vegetables (for my fiance): Shrimp spring rolls I was so craving for beef.. The next morning before we headed out to San Francisco, we had brunch at Falafel's Drive - In .  We all got this special that included a falafel with a banana shake.  I loved this special!  For the first time ever the falafel was the best I've had! And the banana shake was really creamy:  ...

The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite restaurant chains ever! The reason why I adore this place is that they serve foods from different parts of the US and ethnic foods. I  l o v e  the quality of the ingredients used in their foods. For our appetizer we tried the Vietnamese Spring Rolls - made with rice paper rolled around asparagus, Shiitake mushrooms, carrots, rice noodles, green onion, cilantro and shrimp: My meal was The Incredible Grilled Eggplant Sandwich - comes with roasted red peppers, red onion, melted Mozzarella and garlic aioli on a toasted bun. The name did fit my meal: Mikey had the Orange Chicken - deep fried pieces of chicken breast covered in a sweet and spicy orange sauce with white rice and vegetables: Bronsen had Garlic Noodles - made with spaghettini, shrimp, asparagus, Shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and parmesan in garlic sauce: Last and not least, we got cheesecakes! To the left is Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple - creamy c...

Town Square has many places of where to eat. After walking around, we decided to eat at California Pizza Kitchen . It was my first time eating at CPK, and as I was looking at the menu, I was surprised with the types of pizzas they made. No pizza was ordinary like the Cheeseburger Pizza, Pear & Gorgonzola, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, and etc. I was willing to try anything and ate Jessica's favorite dishes, Chicken Picatta - chicken breast in a creamy lemon-caper sauce with spaghettini pasta and Wild Mushroom Pizza - Cremini, Portobello, Shiitake, and white mushrooms, Fontina and Mozzarella cheeses with a wild mushroom walnut pesto garnished with chopped Italian parsley. I enjoyed the lemon-caper sauce on the Chicken Picatta (I love lemony foods!) and liked how there was a lot of mushrooms in the Wild Mushroom Pizza and the crust was the best! I know I'm going back to CPK just to try out their other pizzas!
