Lunch at Olive Garden Today

We went to Orlando today to meet a plumber for our condo. The renter has minor problem regarding the toilet so; we had to fix the problem right away. It was fixed in two hours but, by that time we were so hungry. We decided to have lunch at Olive Garden. I was so full!

Do you have favorite in Olive Garden? I just love their soups, salad and bread sticks and for the main menu, I can't think which is my favorite because I love eating them all. 

Delicious Dinner in Olive Garden at the Millenia Mall

The other day, we went to Orlando to dine at Cheesecake Factory. When we were in the Mall of Millenia area, we had circled countless times and we never found the building of Cheesecake Factory. Since we were so famished, we decided to dine instead at Olive Garden. Well, that's not hard to do because I was all set for my Chicken and Gnocchi soup and bread sticks. This is what I ordered and since I love fettuccine pasta in a cream sauce, I truly enjoyed my plate. I can't believe that I devour this big portion of delicious pollo and pasta. This plate of food simply satisfies my palate and the taste is simply heaven.

When hubby asked the receptionist about the location of Cheesecake Factory, he was told that the restaurant is located inside the mall. The GPS provided a miscalculated route. Funny! Anyway, here's what hubby ordered, a good portion of seafood lasagna with scallop and shrimp in it and the cheese is really yummy. I would definitely recommend these two when you visit Olive Garden. The food is worth every penny you spend.

Hubby and I had a wonderful dinner and we only spent $40 with tip. We tried the $25 special which consists of one starter/dessert to share, 2 entrees' plus unlimited salads/soups and bread-sticks.

I have my soup to go for I wanted to enjoy the main dish. Hubby and I were full and happy (wink). The server and everyone is great. The ambiance is relaxing, clean, and we had the booth which we love to sit on.

If you happen to be shopping along Millenia Mall, you will not miss the building of Olive Garden for it is located along Millenia Mall at 4101 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839 and if you want to call for direction, call: (407) 345-8331.

Now, I am hungry for their sampler ...hmmm. :-) Don't forget to check out those yummy food plates at Olive Garden in your area.

Having Lunch at Red Lobster Restaurant

Craving for seafoods? Check out Red Lobster this season for they have the Lobsterfest specials. My plate has rice pillaf, garlic shrimp scampi, golden-fried catfish and scallops.My favorite alcoholic drink is Bahama Mama. It is a frozen blend of tropical fruit flavors mixed with Captain Morgan which is an original spiced rum with a splash of Myers’s dark rum.This is cheese biscuit which they always served before your orders come and it's unlimited. It's good to eat fresh and hot.Usually, I cannot finish this glass alone so; I always share it to my husband.Salad sometimes come as a side from the menu that you choose. Thanks for the visit everyone.

Buffet at Harrah's Hotel in New Orleans

My husband and I love the buffet and we travel nearby cities just to explore what they offer for their guests. These are my food plates while we were in HARRAH's Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's about an hour drive from where we live in Mississippi.
Harrah's Hotel and casino is located just walking distance from the French Quarter, shopping centers, Superdome, and Mississippi River. Harrah's hotel has 26 storey building, 450 huge and luxury guests rooms and suites. We actually stayed in another hotel just accross the street and came here for food trip.

They have so many variety but since I miss Filipino foods, I took my time to fill my plate that looks like Filipino yumminess LOL.

Again, when you visit Mississippi and Louisiana they hotels and casinos offer buffet at affordable price. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you will pay 50% off the price.

Did you know how much we pay on this meal? It's $6/person because they have a promotion. It will not lasts whole day though. We are lucky that we went there and they have a promo.

This is my Yummy Sunday entry and thank you for reading my post and for the comment. I will see you in your blogs.

Panera Bread

Before the New Year, Hubby and I went to the Mellenia Mall here in Orlando to exchange the jewelry that he bought for me. I wanted a cross necklace but in gold chain. The sales-person at ZALES is a Filipino (mom came from Cebu and dad from Zamboanga) but, he was born here in US. They have no stock for the gold cross but then, he showed me the earring/necklace set. Even though it was a bit pricey, it was a good deal so, we bought it. On the way out, Panera Bread is just right at the corner so, we dine in.I ordered the all-natural Sonoma Chicken Stew with Dry Jack Cheese Biscuit. Honestly, I love the chicken stew but, not the biscuit. The creamy chicken stew has Parisian carrots, peas, leeks and diced red potatoes simmered with sweet cream and thyme. It is my favorite aside from Broccoli Cheddar. In another time, I ordered the Smoked Ham & Swiss which is a 96% fat-free smoked ham and swiss with leaf lettuce, tomatoes, red onions with salt and pepper. It is pretty good.
As you can see in this Sonoma Soup, it comes with panini but, on this order, I had a burned Panini. I did not bother to complain because I was hungry and I do not want to deal about it. I think I will not order this panini anymore. I rather order the Tuna Salad Cafe Sandwich.
This location of Panera Bread is in Florida Mall.
If you can visit a Panera Bread in your area, try the Sonoma Soup with Smoked Ham and Swiss Cafe Sandwich.

Fine Dining at Red Lobster

Sea foods. When I crave for one, Red Lobster is the answer. Here is the tender and juicy Garlic Shrimp Scampi which is oven-broiled in garlic butter sauce.
This platter has Farm-Raised Catfish in golden-fried, shrimp scampi and delicious scallops with wild rice pillaf.
the Bahama Mama which is a specialty drink...Fresh, crisp romaine lettuce tossed with Caesar dressing
...more salads......my favorite scallops...

Remember, stay healthy for 2012. Have a blessed new year everyone.

Red Lobster at Merrit Island

The address 215 E Merritt Island Causeway, Merritt Island, FL is about 50 minutes from Orlando but, when we are in Cocoa area, the Red Lobster in this location is our favorite place to visit.‎ The location is along the highway and easy to navigate in every direction that we want.The location is very convenient and the servers are good in what they do. The picture above is a specialty drink called Bahama Mama which is a frozen blend of tropical fruit flavors and mixed with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, topped with a splash of Myers’s dark rum, simply my favorite. Anyway, the manager is polite and the place is clean. Our last visit was a bit chaotic due the fact that our table was located near a family with 4 children who were a little bit unruly. But, as soon as they left the restaurant, the busser tidy the area. The famous cheese biscuits of Red Lobster....Live lobster which you can order fresh...The building in itself...We found this location when we are searching for Olive Garden. At that time, the latter was full with guests and since we are famished, we tried Red Lobster and we found a table for two. Both are my favorites.

Honestly, I can only have two bowls max and my favorite is Chicken & Gnocchi which is a creamy soup made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach. The picture below is Zuppa Toscana which is a spicy sausage (yummy), russet potatoes and cavolo greens in a creamy broth. If it's creamy, I love it. Why settle for a soda when you can have a healthy beverage such as Strawberry-Mango Limonata or bella lemonata?This is Chicken Parmigiana with parmesan-breaded chicken breast, fried and topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and it is served with spaghetti. If it is dinner time, the portion is even bigger and if you are famish, go ahead and order.If you want to bring home an Olive Garden salad at home, buy the dressing instead. It's less than $6 a bottle. The Olive Garden in Florida Mall is my favorite location because the servers are more friendly and polite.

At The Beau Rivage Breakfast Buffet

We dine in at the Beau Rivage for breakfast and on Thursdays, the price is back to regular for Seniors. But, the food is still great for a $10 price in the buffet. This is actually my second plate and I ate it all. Oh, I just love the cherry tomato in my salad.

The choices are so many and so affordable. You will never get hungry with seafoods in this area. I love my porkchop and I miss it already.
