Believe it or not my pizza is not a fan of pizza.  But, upon mention of California Pizza Kitchen and their eyes would twinkle so its no surprise that its one of the very few restaurants that my family keep coming back to.

Food
California Pizza Kitchen is always unique creative with the dishes that they come up with.  And, we're always surprised at how fulfilling the experience is in each visit.  Let me share with you some of their new menu for 2017 which we've tried.


Starters

Grilled Shrimp, Strawberry + Goat Cheese (550 php)

The Grilled Shrimp, Strawberry + Goat Cheese is my dream salad with all my favorites in one and drizzled with honey dijon vinaigrette.  It has fresh and crispy greens, sweet and tangy strawberries, plump grilled shrimps, sweet pear, crunchy almond bits and creamy goat cheese.

Original Hand-Tossed Pizzas 

Grilled Chicken Chiptotle + Avocado (475 php)

Craving for cali-mex? Why not go pizza-style with Grilled Chicken Chiptotle + Avocado.

Personal Adventures

Chicken & Sausage Fajita (495 php)

The Chicken & Sausage Fajita is one of the most interesting pasta dishes I've encountered.  I am very impressed at how their thought of combining spicy roasted garlic cream spinach fettucine with smoked sausage, grilled chicken and peppers.  The flavors blended wonderfully!

Foriana (350 php)

The Foriana was not as creative as the Chicken & Sausage Fajita but it has an undeniably classic appeal.

Rice Entrees (Upgrade to Quinoa +45 php)

Sweet Flame Shrimp (385 php)

I'm quite thrilled that you can go for a healthier option by upgrading your ride meal to quinoa for just an addition of 45 php.   The  Sweet Flame Shrimp reminded me of the Chinese dish of Sweet and Sour Sauce.  But, I found this more extravagant as it comes with a mango-cucumber salsa.

Chicken + Asparagus in Lemon Cream Sauce (345 php)

You all have to try the Chicken + Asparagus in Lemon Cream Sauce!  I don't know how they do it but the fried chicken breasts is magically so moist and tender.  Kids will certainly love this.  And, oldies who have difficulty in chewing will have fun easily munching on these!

Desserts

Blueberry-Oreo Cheesecake (275 php)

The Blueberry-Oreo Cheesecake is a no-bake type.  The cheesecake was just okay but it is the oreo crust that won over me.

Lemon Butter Cake (325 php)

This may not looks as appealing as trendy desserts but a bite of the Lemon Butter Cake is enough to reveal its charm.

No doubt we will be back to try more!  Let us know if we've missed anything good!
