California Pizza Kitchen

Well yeah, Its been awhile since I last posted. My apologies! Been a rough year this one. But yes,

Okay so, certain things haven't changed have they? My melodrama being one of it! Okay, for all those who missed me "a biggg hello from me" and all those who haven't missed me "pfft" <yes i'm sticking my tongue out>

Now, getting right down to business, the California Pizza Kitchen or CPK (as it's otherwise known as) that i went to is situated in Indiranagar, 100 ft road, Bangalore, quite close to KFC and even more closer to the KTM showroom.  

The place looks quite exquisite from the outside. A huge glass facade and extremely modern looking furniture. Yes, it screams out "I am expensive". But is it? Let's find out.

My friend and I walk inside, we're greeted by really friendly faces (+1 to the service already), and i decide that instead of the ground floor, it'll be great to get a view from the top! So, we go to the First floor and there's a huge couch and we make ourselves comfortable there. I was checking out the ambiance and boy was I impressed! I was particularly impressed with the cutlery, its these small things that make the customer realize he's in the right place. 

After a few moments of discussion we place our first order. A starter.

The Broccoli Soup : A cream-less veg soup garnished with home made garlic and herb croutons.

I'm a major fan of the Broccoli, it definitely must be considered an aphrodisiac. No really. Well, so this amazing vegetable cooked as a soup, it definitely is a Winner isn't it? Yes. The soup was green in color and well, it smelled delicious and the first sip of this soup transported me to another world. Let's call this world for now as "heaven". The soup was simply superb. It was so nice, that for the first few minutes<read half the bowl> I forgot that I had to go through my customary routine of adding salt and pepper to the soup. There was also a surprise element for me. What? Well, I hate croutons <a.k.a bread crumbs> but this, This was something else. The herbs in it definitely were magical. The soup did taste like it had cornflour in it, and it definitely added flavor to the soup. So, as of now, score is (+2).

I then realized, We'd to order the main course and I need to order something to drink with my main course. I ordered the,"Green Apple Flavored Lemonade"

A refreshingly amazing lemonade with very little ice <the operating word here being "very little"> This cooler was exactly that, a cooler. Loved the taste of it. And, what's amazing about it was that it wasn't diluted and due to which the flavor of the green apple was retained. I strongly advocate you to pick this up when you do go there. Score now (+3).

By this time, my stomach was just getting ready for the feast. For the main course I ordered the,
*Thai Curry Veg Pizza*

There is a really good reason as to why the name is enclosed between stars. Yes, i hope you guessed it right for your own sake! THIS PIZZA IS A STAR. The ingredients of this pizza are, grilled red & yellow pepper, spicy green chilies, Mozzarella cheese topped with fresh cilantro.

Hurry for the Thai Veg Curry pizza!

Trust me its not the photographer's skill that's making this pizza look this YUMMM. Feast your eyes on some more of these mouth watering snaps

It was a thin crust pizza and frankly I'm not a huge fan of the thin crust, but this time, I was as glad, as glad can be that I ordered for a thin crust. The time taken to deliver the pizza was like 20 Minutes. But, It was worth a lifetime's wait. First bite, and it was purely magical. Food definitely can make a person content and at that first bite, I can vouch even for my friend, we SURELY were the two of THE MOST content people in the world.

The curry on the pizza was just impeccable, the peppers kick in the moment you take your bite, it leaves you salivating for more. The green chilies, it was a superb add on. For those who are not too fond of spicy food, this one'll make you fall in love with it. Simply because, the chilies just gave the pizza a more dramatic flavor. The mozzarella cheese surely compliments the rest of the flavors and cilantro (coriander leaves) they just gave the pizza the necessary freshness. Once, you finish the pizza, it makes you wonder, if it is possible to make something so amazing! Well, the Score? I would give (+ 1 Million). This pizza is to die for.
