If you’re strolling & exploring & shopping & having as good a time as Dear & I enjoying the lovely breeze & beautiful sights here at Universal CityWalk in Orlando, Florida USA – you’d wana also settle down next for yummy treats at somewhere cosy fun-filled relaxed…………

And for the BEST choice, Dear & I pick the Award Wining NBA City Restaurant seen here with its outstanding NBA’s “Logoman” of a Basketball Player dribbling Ball across the Waters of Universal CityWalk :

Well, as we’re in Orlando right now, & as there’re many Black Americans residing in Orlando, & as Basketball also happens to be the LOVE sports of the Blacks community, where’s best to dine than at the NBA City Restaurant OF COURSE so I decide!!

Here’s a Business Card of NBA City Restaurant :

Below shows Dear standing outside NBA City Restaurant located located further ahead of Hard Rock Cafe Orlando where we just came from :

WOW what a GIGANTIC 33-foot tall Statue of a Basketball Player dribbling Ball!! So beautiful!!!

Hahah it’s by far the most interesting American Restaurant that Dear & I have been, & we just simply keep smiling to ourselves, as we walk into the twice awarded “Best Themed Restaurant in Orlando” Award Wining NBA City Restaurant featuring one-of-a-kind Basketball Court with huge 10 by 15 feet Screens broadcasting non-stop NBA Game Shows :

As we settle down at our dining table led by our friendly Server named Karrie, Dear & I take a few moments to take in this most unique & enchanting 17,500 sq feet 2-storey Restaurant lined with authentic NBA Artifacts & Memoribilias, including Photos of the NBA Greats of Yesteryear, & the Superstars of Today – giving us a feel of the classic arenas from the 40s & 50s & filling both of us with much cosyness & warmth :

Here’s the most unique & coolest Basketball Material-Rubbered Menu of NBA City Restaurant :

The Menu features a delicious mix of fresh & high-quality American Championship Cuisines :

Heheh there’re even yummilicious American Desserts & the NBA City Store featured on the Menu :

And of course Dear & I order our favourite American Love Drinks – Coca Cola which is so coldly served to us & best thirst quenchers for us who’d been walking in & out of the pretty hot sun here at Universal CityWalk in the Sunshine State of Florida – though it’s actually Winter time now but we sure feel a little hot as Spring nears :

Upon seeing such pretty Coasters from NBA City Restaurant, I can’t help but keep them as Souvenirs to bring back home :

Here’s a self-taken portrait of Dear & I seated inside NBA City Restaurant as we wait for our Cuisine Lunch, & at the same time watching the special editions of Basketball Game Shows broadcasting on the huge Screens above us :

Even our Baby Sportie is enjoying his new Sports game show, together with Mei Mei Cutie & Kor Kor Smartie :

Here comes our marvelicious Championship Cuisine Lunch - spread out infront of Dear & I – Pic taken by our most friendly Server Karrie :

Chorizo Shrimp Skewers – made up of Jumbo Shrimps & grilled spicy Chorizo Sausages, & served with Chorizo Cream Sauce, Black Beans & Corn Salsa :

These Chorizo Shrimp Skewers are so delicious – though consisting of only 4 Shrimps, these Shrimps are thick & huge tasting so fresh & so good, & the Chorizo Sausages are equally fantastic!!

The Black Beans & Corn Salsa are very fresh & superb too, & with the dipping Chorizo Cream Sauce, this Cuisine dish is simply marvelicious!! Dear & I absolutely love it!!

Besides these Shrimps definitely do make up for us missing out on dining at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant as it was too far away from where tired Dear & I were earlier after shopping at Hard Rock Cafe Orlando!! No REGRETS no regrets heheh!!

Brick Oven Traditional Cheese Pizza – hand tossed & topped with homemade sauce & loads of shredded Mozzarella Cheese, then baked in a Brick Oven for a Crisp, flavorful Crust tasting simply heavenly!! Dear & I immediately fall in love with this!!

Oak-Smoked Baby Back Ribs – a full Rack of very tasty tender Baby Back Ribs rubbed with an unique blend of Spice, then slowly smoked over glowing Oak Coals, & basted with NBA City’s signature Barbecue Sauce, & served with Colelaw & marvelicious Crispy Fries – Dear & I simply adore them all!!

And our Babies just love the Traditional Cheese Pizza – especially Smartie!!

Dear & I enjoy our marvelicious Championship Cuisine Lunch here at the Award Winning NBA City Restaurant so much while zipping our favourite American Coke which to our most pleasant surprise & joy, comes free flow as our Server Karrie informs us, & is often quick to take away our glasses to refill them constantly haha!!

And though Dear & I are no Basketball fans (though we sometimes enjoy watching Basketball games), we’re both sure having loads of fun dining here in this amazing Basketball Court themed Restaurant & enjoying our most marvelicious Championship Cuisine Lunch!!

Haha at this time I can’t help but remember my ex-uni mate Ted who loves NBA very dearly, & never missed a single NBA Match on TV while we were students studying at Deakin University in Geelong – Victoria, Australia!! In fact, it was Ted who first introduced me to NBA (National Basketball Association) then!!

Well, let me show you 2 pics of Ted & Me at Grampians National Park in West of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia where we hiked to the Mountain Top together with my visiting brother & a few other uni mates during our uni Vacation!!

This below pic shows Ted & Me seated at the Highest Peak of our Hike – haha still remember I was so scared cos of my serious height phobia, but Ted kept encouraging Me saying “Not scared Not scared I’d protect you!!” heheh!!

Ted & Me standing at the Edge of the Highest Peak at Grampians National Park : 

Well, back to the Award Winning NBA City Restaurant here at Universal CityWalk – I’m sure Ted would enjoy this place as much (or even much more than) Dear & I surrounded by all things Architecture, Artifacts & Memorabilia Basketball!! I believe he’d drool all over this place up & down heheh!!

As for Dear & I, we’ve such a satisfying great time here & we’ve even planned to have Desserts too, but we’re already so full from our high quality marvelicious savory Cuisine Lunch plus so much most chilling great American Coke!!

Thus it’s now time to use these below Moist Towelettes that are provided for us :

And Dear’s now footing the Bill & we like our Server Karrie’s good service so much Dear’s giving her a total 20% Tips :

Here’re a few more pics of NBA City Restaurant with Dear seated at our dining table :

Then Dear & I visit the NBA City Toilet :

Whoa guess what!?!? Even the Toilet Dustbins come in the form of Basketball Nets – how interesting!!

And there’re also Basketball Shootout Games available for Guests in this Play Area by the side of NBA City Restaurant :

Dear & I next visit NBA City Store (located beside its Restaurant) where we see many NBA Merchandises & Jerseys :

Below pics show the TNT Viewer’s Guide on NBA All-Star 2009 :

Shortly afterwards, Dear & I step out of NBA City Store & Restaurant :

And we’re now looking at the back view of the NBA “Logoman” – GIANT Statue of a Basketball Player dribbling Ball outside NBA City Restaurant :

We soon discover Molded Hand Prints (on Basketball) of NBA Stars outside NBA City Store & Restaurant – Dear’s seen here putting his hand on the Moulded Hand Print of NBA Star – Hakeem Olajuwon :

Here’s a close-up view of the Molded GIANT Hand Print (on Basketball) of NBA Star – Hakeem Olajuwon, with his Signature & Name below it :

Hahah just look at the amazingly large Hand Prints of the NBA Stars!! Unbelievably TRUE causing Dear & I to non-stop laughing haha!!

And then we see yet another Basketball Court outside NBA City Restaurant here at Universal CityWalk :

Here’s the NBA City Three Point Challenge Rules for Guest players - pinned to the Basketball Court :

And now Dear’s standing infront of the NBA City Basketball Court surrounded by Black Americans & a few younger Whites – they’re all watching a pretty big sized Black Basketball Coach playing Ball with Guest players :
