I started eating here when I was working at Eastwood. Zuppa was a welcome change from the usual Jolibee, Mcdonald's, or KFC for lunch.

Most of their food are priced below 100.00 pesos; not bad, especially for their gourmet rice dishes.

My favorite is the Madras Curry priced at 95.00 pesos. You can request to have the cook make the dish not spicy, spicy, or extra spicy (like how I always have it)... Mmm-mmm! The size of their servings are just right for one, but definitely not enough for sharing.

Mmmm... Cheesecake Factory... yum yum!!!

The day before my flight back home, our family friend took us at The Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in Los Angeles for lunch. At first, I was like... ok, this is probably like the Cheesecake Etc we have in the Philippines... but boy, was i wrong!

We got there at around 12:30 pm... I was so hungry as I didn't have any breakfast... so I wasn't really able to take pictures of our lunch 'coz I started eating as soon as the food arrived. Hehe =) Well, despite the fact that the place was packed and the service was not really snappy (since it was a Sunday).... the food was scrumptious! No wonder Tyra Banks loves this place!

There were a lot of choices for food; from appetizers, salads, soups, and sandwiches, to steaks, seafood, pasta, and dessert, everything sounded delicious.

Since I really couldn't make up my mind on what to order, I decided to have the Beer Battered Fish and Chips (described as: Icelandic Cod Hand Battered and Fried Crisp. Served with Cole Slaw, French Fries and Tartar Sauce). My mom on the other hand, just had the Caesar Salad with Chicken and our friend ordered the Grilled Pork Chops (Marinated Center-Cut Chops Served with Housemade Apple Sauce,Mashed Potatoes and Fresh Spinach).
