New York: Cheesecake Factory

Talk about going loco over avocado.

If there are 2 things I must have when I come to the US each time, it's stopping by Cheesecake Factory and swinging by a couple of real good Mexican restaurants.

They all have one thing in common which I absolutely love.

Yup, you got that - avocado.

On the drive into New York from DC, we googled for a Cheesecake Factory along the way and promptly swung by to pick up some good food.

Cheesecake Factory is probably my favourite American dining chain of all time. In fact, while it's cheesecakes are really pretty darn good (it's called Cheesecake Factory after all!), I think their appetisers really take the cake here. (No pun intended!)

My favourite - the Avocado Egg Rolls.

Creamy, fresh avocados and sundried tomatoes fully encased in an eggy spring roll wrapper and deep fried. Served with a sweet and sour sauce on the side.

Mind you, these aren't small bite sized rolls. They're hearty American-sized jumbo buggers. Even more satisfaction :)

Oh, just thinking about it gives me heart palpitations.

My other favourite at Cheesecake Factory is their Kahlua Cheesecake.

Rich (very rich in fact), creamy with just the right amount of kick from the coffee liqueur, it's a great way to end an already very satisfying meal at the Factory.

Now, I wish someone would bring the franchise to Singapore. I'd be a gold status member.
