One of the days in Houston, me and my friend decided to head to The Galleria for a bout of shopping. The minute the cab pulled up the front, I screamed "OMG! THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!!". The plan was to hit the shops and work up a serious appetite before coming back!
And boy was I glad we did! The menu was huge! I was half way through the menu when the waitress came back to take our order. I'm in hysterics going "OMG! The menu is so big, I feel like I'm reading Lord of the Rings! And I haven't even gotten to the cheesecakes yet!". She decided to give me another 10mins. Good thing...cos I got stuck at the cheesecake section! SO many choices!!!

I opted for an apptetizer, to save room for the cheesecake. So I ordered a chicken quesadilla and out came this monster.
This was huge! I was seriously struggling to finish this without all the salsa and sides. By the time I was done with this, I wasn't sure I could fit in a cheesecake. BUT. MUST. EAT. CHEESECAKE.
White chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecakeThis was sooo decadant yet not overly rich as the sweet and sour raspberry gave my tastebuds a bit of relief. The only thing I couldn't stomach was the cream.
That's A LOT OF CREAM PEOPLE!!!!
Chocolate oreo mudslide cheesecake - My takeaway goodie!
Original Strawberry cheesecakeI tried my friends strawberry cheesecake and had cheesecake envy! It was incredibly light and fluffy! I'm definitely ordering this next time!
And of course there is a next time! We dragged a few friends with us so we could go back for cheesecake!
YOU. ARE. MINE.
Frozen Iced Mango with a swirl of raspberryHaving eaten at the Cheesecake factory before, I knew I had to be very careful with my lunch selection to make sure I still had room in my stomach for dessert!
Crabcake sandwichJackpot! Delicious and a good size!
One of the better crabcake sandwiches I've had!
"Lunch size" serving of Meatloaf
"Lunch size" serving of shepherds pie
"Lunch size" fish and chips...with 3 fillets of fish
Someone was smart and got finger food - Stuffed mushrooms
Keylime cheesecake and Fresh Strawberry cheesecake to shareSince the Cheescake Factory virgins loved the food so much, we had to go back a third time! haha
Spicy Ahi Tempura rolls
Buffalo wings - Appetizer sizeI've truely realised at this stage that I DON'T like buffalo wings. My taste buds seriously object to the vinegary taste of the buffalo wings. I'd much prefer a sweet and spicy wing, than a sour and spicy wing. It looks like most of us Aussies didn't enjoy this dish either. I much prefer the honey soy wings I make.
"Lunch Size" Spaghetti ArribiataIf I got served this in Sydney, I would've went "Wow! The restaurant is quite generous with their serving size!". Except this was supposed to be a 1/2 portion / Lunch size. I'd be scared to see normal size.
Roadside SlidersI fully cracked up laughing when this was delivered! Check out the description of these sliders under the appetizer section:

why can't Australia have serving size like these? So many times I've ordered something and felt dissapointed and ripped off because the size did not reflect the price I paid for the meal.
Very true! But I'm kinda glad we don't......I don't think my waist can take anymore texas sized meals!! haha
