Corn Dog and a Coffee: A Weird Combo

Hubby would always say that I am weird with my food selection LOL. First, he noticed that I ate rice in every meal. I ate stinky fish (LOL), that's what he called for dried fish, hahaha. I ate with my hands. After 5 years, he don't mind at all in fact; he cooked rice every day for me. Filipinos love to eat with our hands but in formal gatherings of course, we are expert in using spoon, fork and table knives. It is also weird for us seeing people eating rice using the fork LOL. I get used to that too. Anyway, here is another weird combination of food that I ate in today's' breakfast, a corn dog and a coffee. Oh, it is so good. Believe me, after this weird craving today, I don't know when I ever eat this combo again, wink.

Lunch at Olive Garden Along Colonial Drive

From Orlando heading to Cocoa on rush hour routing Colonial Drive? Forget about it! You will definitely want to get out from the traffic. We found a way to avoid the traffic. We had to pass the awesome neighborhood in Waterford Lakes to avoid the traffic but last week, we were so famished and it was already lunch time. Traffic was backed-up due to accident so; we decided to stop by at Olive Garden. I ordered a thirsty-quenching limonata while hubby on his usual soda.

Location:
Waterford Lakes
11882 E Colonial Drive
Orlando, FL 32826
(407) 381-8084

The ambiance was good. The service was great though, my limonata was served late. The server forgot about it but, she apologized. It was a busy day so; it happens. I ordered my soup which comes in the meal I selected. My favorite is Chicken and Gnocchi which is a creamy soup made with roasted chicken, traditional Italian dumplings and spinach. Now, I am craving for one.

My main order was Braised Beef and Tortelloni. First time that I ordered this and not bad at all. It is a tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms tossed with asiago-filled tortelloni in a basil-marsala sauce. If you have a great appetite and famished, the portion is a bit small and you might have a room for another soup. Anyway, I will try this again in Olive Garden along Florida Mall area and I can tell the difference.

The caption on the photo is incorrect but, it was too late to edit (Olive Garden at Colonial Drive - Waterford Lakes area). Chow!

Clams and Eggdrop Soup

These foods make me hungry right now. I am certain that after my blog update, my venue will be the kitchen. Hubby and I love to dine out. What do we have to do? It's just the two of us you know. For no occasion, if we feel like going out somewhere, off we go.  Anyway, do you go to a fine dining or buffet type of restaurant? For me, when I am hungry, I want to fed my tummy ASAP so; I go for the latter LOL. 

Do you eat seafood? My favorite is Clam. Clams are low fat and high protein seafood. Most of all, if clams are cooked like how the Chinese does, that's perfect and no fried clams for me too. Egg drop soup is another favorite food that I love to include in my meal. Sometimes, egg drop soup is so good but, other times, its not. It really depends who made them. Why I love clams and egg drop soup? It reminded me of my moms home cooked food you know. Filipino foods are the best!

Apple Pie: My Favorite Dessert

I don't usually eat dessert when we dine out. The entree' order fills me up good. When we were in Mississippi, we love to go to Hard Rock Satisfaction Buffet. My first plate is cheese cake and chocolate cake. I have to eat those first because they are so yummy paired with a sweet cup of coffee with creamier. Now, that is my appetizer. I would go to the Asian area to get my rice, piece of chicken and clam soup. Oh my goodness, I miss that place! 

Here in the Space Coast, hubby and I found our favorite buffet. It is located in Titusville, Florida and it's a newly opened business. Their food is honest to goodness great. I love their sushi, clams, craw fish and this apple pie is my dessert together with the banana and something like a beignet. This time, no coffee because that's not included in the buffet.

I Love Sushi

I love Sushi and as a matter of fact, I am craving for one right now. I ate this yesterday and now, I can't believe I want this again. The seaweeds are great tasting too. Lately, when we dine at Buffet Village in Titusville, my first plate is always Sushi. I can eat 10 pieces and that's about it, I am full. No room for other menu in the buffet.

I don't eat dessert so; with a filling plate like what I have here, my craving is perfectly solved! Do you like to eat in a buffet? What's your first plate looks like?

Grilled Sausage and Peppers Rustica at Olive Garden

I have been blogging since early morning time but, I took the time off from time time to take a nap and eat meals. I want all my tasks and reviews done this week so that; I can start anew by next week. As I was browsing photos, I saw this plate. Hubby's plate actually when we went to Olive Garden last Thursday along Colonial Drive in Orlando. I know that the caption was pretty messed up. There is no Olive Garden in S Semoran Blvd. Anyway, this is Grilled Sausage and Peppers Rustica. This plate has Italian sausage, bell peppers and fresh mozzarella with penne in a zesty marinara sauce.

Looking at it made me hungry and I told hubby that I want to eat pasta. He had some papers to finish so; we both had no time to go out for lunch instead, hubby baked macaroni and cheese ... lots of cheese actually. My cravings was satisfied today. Anytime this week, we will definitely go to Olive Garden.

Olive Garden at Colonial Drive

Do you like Italian food? I love to dine in the Italian Restaurant. The pasta is so good. Okay regarding the photo below, I meant to say Colonial Drive not S Semoran Blvd, my bad. When my husband and I heads home from Orlando, we decided to have dinner at Olive Garden in :

11882 E Colonial Drive
Orlando, FL 32826
(407) 381-8084

It was our first in this location. The server was very courteous and knows the menu very well. I ordered a limonata, a Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and Braised Beef and Tortelloni. I was already halfway with my soup when I called the server regarding my limonata.

She apologized for the delay, she forgot. Anyway, I had a great meal and I enjoyed the tender sliced short ribs and portobello mushrooms in my plate. The asiago-filled tortelloni in a basil-marsala sauce tastes good and I was full quick that I need to take out half of my Braised Beef and Tortelloni.

The server is pleasant and nice, from time to time she checked on us. Our dining experience is good and whether I will visit this location again? Absolutely!
