Sherly and The Cheesecake Factory

This is not a sequel of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, teehee.

Few days ago, I went to The Cheesecake Factory (I'll call it CCF from now on) at Tomang, West Jakarta with my boyfriend.

Since I've visited CCF web here, I always daydream about its products, haha. The soft texture, sweetness, and creamy look of its cake and French pastries seem like heaven to me. They are pictured as the most tempting dessert in my mind, just as pictured on the web.


I wanna share my *memorable* experience in CCF.




THE ATMOSPHERE
==============
i like the atmosphere. warm and elegant.

THE FRENCH PASTRIES
===================

Triple Cheese Cake (Rp 17.000,00/slice)

Tiramisu (Rp 17.000,00/cup)

Triple Chocolate Cheese (Rp 17.000,00/slice)

I ate tiramisu first. I always love tiramisu, that's why it becomes my order. So classic, so old, so ordinary, but i like it. haha.

First bite : I think this is creamy. 

Second bite : No, this is so greasy. 

Third bite : Too greasy, actually. 

Fourth bite : is this really tiramisu? I only taste its greasiness in my mouth. Where's the sweetness and all?

Fifth bite : My stomach's full

Sixth bite : I wanna puke. I feel like eating fat.

Seventh bite : I don't think i can make it. I really need to puke.

Last bite : I promise myself not to eat THIS STUFF again, ever.

I've never eaten any tiramisu that's as bad as CCF's.

I also try a bit of two other pastries and my opinion is still the same. I feel like eating fat. It makes you full just by eating some small spoon of it. It makes you want to puke, so much. The cake doesn't taste sweet and puffy. I don't know how to describe it. It makes your stomach full in a bad way.

I don't like any of them, AT ALL. Maybe i'm just not meant to be their loyal customer. I think they have quite many customers though, because they are opening their branches just like everywhere.

I just don't go with the mainstream, maybe. I wanna know others' opinion about CCF pastries, do you think it's good?

THE DRINK
==========

Pina Colada (Rp 30.000) : Can I switch this with mineral water please?

Honeydew Smoothies  (Rp 30.000) : Better, but still....

Well, I bought 2 jars of cookies from CCF. I think it's quite good. You better try the cookies than the pastries. 

Snowy Almond (Rp 45.000)

Crunchy Vanilla (Rp 35.000)

I recommend CRUNCHY VANILLA (Flour, Icing Sugar, Butter, Vanilla essence, Cornflakes). It tastes both sweet and a bit salty. I like it.  :)

I've once tried A La Carte at FX Lifestyle Center, Senayan. It serves the same type of products as CCF, but in a better way. The cheesecake is heaven. The drinks are better.
The price range is the same.

But i still wanna go back there sometime, i haven't tried this :

Grilled Chicken Breast

I will, soon.
