I visited my friend in California back in October and we had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. I am insanely crazy about cheesecakes, so I was really ecstatic when we went there. It was my first time so I was really anxious to try their cheesecakes.

I really liked the ambiance. My only problem was the lighting - it's just hard to take good photos on low-light situations. Anyway, we were seated and greeted by a really friendly and good-looking waiter. He even looked like Robert Pattinson (sorry, I missed to take a photo of him... haha).

As soon as I got the menu, I immediately checked out the dessert portion. And man, they have all sorts of cheesecakes. They have 38 kinds of cheesecakes... yeah, just cheesecakes! It's crazy! And, they all looked really yummy to me. I just wanted to try 'em all. And they have like hundreds of dishes to choose from for appetizers and main course. It was just so hard to decide.
Here's what we ended up ordering...
Dynamite Shrimp
Crispy tempura shrimp tossed with their spicy dynamite sauce.
Hibachi Steak
Certified Angus hanger steak with shiitake mushrooms, onions, bean sprouts, wasabi mashed potatoes and tempura asparagus.
Louisiana Chicken Pasta
Parmesan crusted chicken served over pasta with mushrooms, peppers and onions in a spicy New Orleans sauce.
And finally, the best part... say hello to their Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake!!! I just love it to death. Yes, it is so fattening but what the heck... simply irresistible! <3
Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake
The original cheesecake topped with glazed fresh strawberries. The most popular flavor for 30 Years! -TCF
My first experience was awesome! The Cheesecake Factory is officially one of my favorite restaurants in the US. Just thinking about their food makes me drool.

FYI: I just borrowed the food description from their menu.
