I DRESS-UP AND EAT

The complete title of this post should have been:  Impromptu - insert - ( Post-Valentine's Day ) - Dinner Date at The Cheesecake Factory.   Yes, this is another untimely, outdated post.  It was an impromptu date since I was too surprised to have discovered that there is a branch of the restaurant here in Doha. I also wanted my forever food buddy to experience dining here (for the first time) and also for me to compare and confirm the taste of their cheesecakes against the ones I tasted in Los Angeles, California.  But please, let's just forget that these photos were taken last days after Valentine's Day of this year and let's move on now to my review.  Though we have separate orders, except for the salad, every order was being shared.  That's what every food blogger must do, taste everything on the table (there might be exceptions though and this can be done best with family only and maybe closest friends).  As I said, this dinner date w...

A Filipino, where ever he/she may be, will always have an appetite for Filipino cuisine.  Even, when we were in the United States of America, after a week in their country, our craving for something Filipino was ultimately satisfied in San Bruno, California! Big thanks to the sister-in-law of one of our companions from work, who invited us to have dinner at TASTEBUDS ! It was I think an hour drive, or a little more, from the place where we stayed in San Francisco.  But it was way too worth the drive. We were 8 diners in this Filipino restaurant and despite the number of dishes that were ordered, our host for the dinner still went home some leftovers! So here's a round up of those sumptuous dishes from TASTEBUDS !  The foods undeniably enchanted our taste buds that night! Soup: BEEF NILAGA Food Rating (Serving Size ) = 8  of 10 Food Rating ( Taste)  = 9  of 10 I do always love this simple yet sumptuous recipe for a beef, plus ...
