June: The Food Month

This month in particular, I went out a lot to eat. Like the typical instagrammer, I always took pictures of my food because they just looked so darn delicious. And yes, I am one of those who just must tell the world what I am eating at that moment. I'm a food lover, I can't help it!

Olive Garden
This restaurant is my roomie's favorite so I end up going here a lot when I let her choose where to eat. I always get their raspberry lemonade, especially since it comes with free refills! A lot of places I've been to don't offer that with their flavored lemonades and iced teas. I got the braised beef and tortelloni. Our appetizer were these yummy cheese balls, umm I don't remember what they are called. Then my roomie always gets the chicken alfredo. Not to mention, free unlimited breadsticks and salad!

Sweet Frog
I'm surprised how much this company has expanded in the last few years. Of all the froyo places I have tried (and I've tried a lot), Sweet Frog offers the most choices at the best price. Marvel at my $8 creation, filled with cake batter and vanilla froyo, topped with strawberries, strawberry poppers, mango poppers, and peanuts then white chocolate sauce and hot fudge. Told you they had a lot of choices.

Bobalicious
It's so hard to get good boba these days. This place is ok but my choices are limited. My favorite type of boba is Taro and my favorite place to get it is in the Philippines. It just seems sweeter over there.

Chili's
I was craving burgers that day. I got the Southern Smokehouse burger and added avocados. My friend got the Parmesan Crusted Steak. Dessert was a Molten Chocolate Lava Cake. We were so full from all this food.

Carabba's
Went to this restaurant for an aunt's birthday. For an appetizer, we got calamari and mussels to share. Then I ordered their Sirloin and Steak, which came with a ceasar salad. I went all out with the seafood that day. After all, who doesn't love seafood?

Ford's Fish Shack
We had been trying to get into this restaurant for a while. We decided to go on a weekday where it was less crowded. Apparently this restaurant has really great reviews and I can see why. I tried their Maine Blueberry Soda and Maine Rootbeer, but I liked the soda better. For my entree, I got a pecan crusted trout with a side of chorizo mac n cheese. It was so delicious!

Azur
This is a restaurant in D.C. that is apparently very well known but the only thing I can say for sure is that this place is expensive. The place has a bar in the first floor then the next three floors are for eating. The food is good and their alcoholic drinks are pretty cool looking. I got their Steak Frites and it was so good. The food took a while to get to the table though. They didn't have much of a dessert menu so we ate dessert elsewhere.

Serendipity
Now this place is very well known. The other Serendipity I know of is in New York. If you have never gone, you definitely should go. Their normal food for breakfast and lunch are good, but not the greatest ever. What really makes them special is their dessert. They are best known for their frozen hot chocolate. I usually get the white chocolate frozen hot chocolate but decided to get something different. I got their Cookie Dough Sundae. The rest of my company got a Frozen Hot Chocolate in regular and Mochaccino and also a huge slice of Carrot Cake.

Yen's Cafe
My mom was having a craving for their pan fried noodles. We also got their sesame chicken. I had never tried pan fried noodles before but man, they are really good. My parents got two containers of those pan fried noodles and we did manage to finish most of it for dinner.

Cheesecake Factory
Everyone knows about the Cheesecake Factory. They have a restaurant everywhere, it seems. Ate dinner with two friends from high school. For dessert, we shared an Oreo Cheesecake and a Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake. We decided to get one that is chocolatey then the other fruity. They were a great combination! We would mix the two and it just tasted so delicious.

Other
Just various other things. Some pineapple tarts made by my mom's friend who is thinking of going into the bakery business. Magnum ice cream in regular and double caramel. I prefer the double caramel. A very berry sundae and tres leches cake from Costco. The cake is so sweet. One small slice is enough to satisfy your craving. That's for this month. Oh I hope next month has delicious food to come as well!
