Hotel ZaZA
I have been to Hotel ZaZa for a birthday party back in 2008 and that hotel was absolutely beautiful. They had different themes that you can choose from which was pretty awesome. Well Erica had a gift certificate to there and we wanted to go to the spa. Unfortunately, Sundays only had one nail tech so we could not get a pedicure done together. Therefore, we went to eat at the Monarch. It was a cloudy Sunday but still nice enough to sit outside. We decided to just have brunch. We definitely had to start off with the bottomless Mimosas. (Yum) Then our waiter asked us what we wanted for our 3 course brunch. I had the yogurt parfait as an appetizer then the chicken panini as the entree and finally the trio delight. Erica had the onion soup as an appetizer then the lobster benedict as the entree and finally the trio delight.
The onion soup that Erica had was a bit salty and cheesy. The lobster benedict was delicious! Who could resist the Hollandaise sauce and lobster?! My yogurt parfait was a bit bland yet soothing to the stomach but isn't that the healthy part of it? My chicken panini was okay. To me, it was just a sandwich except it had olive jam in it. The fries tasted different and then I noticed that I was eating that more than the sandwich. The trio dessert consisted of a chocolate truffle, mini fruit tart and bread pudding.
Overall the atmosphere of the place was nice yet the food was mediocre. The service was good too.

Three-Day Tour of Food
Rudy's beans. I have tried many beans and this one was not too salty and to me it had a little spice to it.

The next day, it was time to head on to Cypress, TX to Rockwell Tavern & Grill. I have done a review on it before but this time we are going for the King Bubba. Now Red Robin has the same concept this burger called the Royal Red Robin Burger but King Bubba just topped it. The King Bubba consisted of fried egg, smoked bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and of course the beef patty. The patty is freshly made and hand pressed. You can see that the burger is humongous! Taking the first bite of it was like heaven. The egg yolk dripping down the burger blending in with all the other flavors was perfect. The combination of everything together was just right. Like I had said before, words cannot describe the taste of Rockwell's burgers.

The last day was BBQ Pork Vietnamese Sandwich. I love going to Don's Cafe! The food and service there is great. They are known for their BBQ Pork sandwiches. The sandwiches are called Banh Mi. I did not get a picture of this sandwich so for now I found a picture that is similar to it. I will replace this picture when I get the chance to eat this sandwich again. The BBQ Pork is very juicy and they have this homemade butter which is delicious. It can be quite addicting once you start telling them to add more butter to the french bread. The sandwich consists of BBQ Pork, a slice of cucumber, a slice of jalapeno, shredded carrots that has been soaked in vinegar and cilantro.
