Heaven in a Plate
One laid-back, after-the-payday morning, I decided to go to the mall. I’ll save my time for shopping, gimmicking, strolling, gaming, and sightseeing for later. I’m here just for the food. You heard me right, and guess what, it’s not me who will do the eating.
I chose Sbarro for the day. Italian. This is my anti-stress restaurant, where eating here is like a vacation. My first choice is the delectable Baked Ziti (which comes with seasoned baked bread). Choose half when you’re going solo, but it’s best shared, so go and order the whole. In layman’s, it’s macaroni: medium-size macaroni and cheese. Not just cheese, I think it’s mozzarella cheese. Choose white or tomato sauce, with or without meatballs, but I prefer meat sauce. Hey, you ordered whole right? What you can do is request a Half-White-Half-Meat Sauce Combo. It really looks good! Top it all out with Parmesan cheese, but it doesn’t end there. Add Oregano, Basil and Granulated Garlic to taste. Fork it out and feel the mozzarella cheese wrap around the Mac from your plate to you taste buds. With meat sauce, the taste blends very well until you’re done with the dish. The sauce drowns the cheese and spices on the plate, so finish it up with the bread by running it across the plate clean.
I’m going for pizza for my next. Choose whatever you want, but I’m going for the Chicago Deep Dish. Think THICK! This is hardcore pizza, redefines the term "Stuffed". I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s a pizza with the toppings literally "not-on-top". Imagine crust at the bottom, meat, cheese, everything inside, another dough, pizza sauce then Parmesan cheese. Make it more than supreme by adding the 3 spices. The "deep-dish" is best served oven-fresh along with fresh tomato dip something. Choose to pour-it-all-on-top, slice-and-dip, or dip-and-straight-to-your-mouth. The sauce mixes the taste making it entirely rewarding experience: from the crust, to the meat, to the sauce, to the spices, to the cheese. I tell you, it’s a MEAL (in all capital letters).
But if you’re going light, try the White Pizza. It’s the ALL-CHEESE pizza with white sauce. I don’t know how it got there, it’s seems like every bite, you’ll feel the white sauce through the very crust of the pie. Spice it up for a fun experience.
For dessert, get that cherry cheesecake. It’s topped with a bright red cherry, so be ready for a fight for that. Then again, everybody wins on every bite of the slice. Wash it with any drink you want…even water.
Done. That’s heaven for a day. I feel the big lump on my tummy. Don’t worry, that will last for a day. So when is the next time?
