The Cheesecake Factory has always been known for their wholesome, generous portions when it comes to all of their delicious offerings that are featured on their expansive menu. Most recently, we had the lovely experience of trying out their new menu items, and we can safely say that it was divine.
The menu includes several internationally-inspired culinary creations, from Mexican to Thai dishes. Plus, their latest cheesecake collaboration is shaping up to be one of their best cheesecakes yet!
Before we dive into The Cheesecake Factory’s new menu, we first managed to get a sneak peek into their kitchen at Sidra Restaurants, Mahboula. We saw, firsthand, how every item on the menu is prepared from scratch. We learned that behind every great, flavorful dish at The Cheesecake Factory, is an amazing team that’s making sure every dish is going to be freshly served.
Our experience at the kitchen opened our eyes to the real effort, which we don’t typically see. From organization, to complete dedication, all of this made us look forward even more to what was going to be served.
With over 250 dishes available on the menu, we have witnessed how every dish is delivered in both a satisfying quantity and excellent quality from the dedicated staff to their customers. Now, let’s dive into the new menu items!
First, we were presented with small plates of Chicken Taquitos and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, which are new additions to the Small Plates & Snacks section. The Chicken Taquitos were crunchy, as this dish includes crispy corn tortillas filled with grilled chicken, green Chile, corn, onion, cilantro, and cheese. The taquitos are also served with avocado cream and salsa Verde to truly savor those Mexican flavors that we all love.
The Cheeseburger Spring Rolls also deliver a crunchy texture, as they are rolled in a crispy, golden wrapper. But what’s within the roll is even yummier and what counts even more, ground certified Angus beef, lots of melted cheese and grilled onions.
The new menu also features one appetizer that is truly unmissable, which is the Beef Belly Sliders dish. As small as these sliders are, the flavor will leave you reaching for more than one, once you taste the slices of slow roasted smoked beef belly with barbeque sauce, coleslaw and fried pickles.
We also had the opportunity to try the Chicken Mango and Avocado Salad, which comes in a typical Cheesecake Factory portion. This is never a bad thing though, as this salad is filled to the brim with fresh, rich ingredients that will satisfy every craving.
The new menu also offers a Stuffed Cheddar Burger, which includes both cheddar and American cheeses, and we were ready for that cheese coma to kick in as soon as we had finished devouring this burger! If you’re a fan of burgers and sliders, then you’ll have the option of choosing either the Beef Belly Sliders, a Stuffed Cheddar Burger, or both.
When it came to sampling the menus specialties, however, we noticed that these dishes have one thing in common, which is that they are both served with white rice.
First we tried the Thai Coconut-Lime Chicken, which consists of tender pieces of chicken, snow peas, shiitake mushrooms, all mixed with the flavorful coconut curry sauce.
The other dish was the Crispy Pineapple Chicken and Shrimp that is served with a sweet and sour sauce. Our verdict? Both dishes are perfect for lunch and dinner orders, whether you prefer the creaminess of the curry or the tanginess of the pineapple.
Now that we have introduced the new menu items, are you ready to be introduced to the coolest cheesecake collaboration? We are!
It’s the Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl Cheesecake, and if the name itself is not already making you drool, then you’re missing out on one of life’s greatest creations. The cheesecake comes in beautiful layers of Cinnabon cinnamon cheesecake and vanilla crunch cake topped with cream cheese frosting and caramel.
Whether it’s the Cinnabon Cheesecake that’ll end up taking you to your nearest Cheesecake Factory location or the awesome newly introduced menu, you can be assured that you’ll always find something satisfying to have (or become addicted to) at The Cheesecake Factory, and that’s a guarantee from team bazaar.
The Cheesecake Factory is located at Grand Avenue – The Avenues, Arabella in Al Bida’a, and Sidra Restaurants in Mahboula. For more information, follow @TheCheesecakeFactoryME.
