Extraordinary Desserts

After visiting all those tourist spots, Yaya took us to the Extraordinary Desserts. As what its name trys to convey, its desserts are really extraordinary. I haven't seen this kind of place in LA. (Though there are a lot of them in Taiwan and Japan.) In addition to the store vibe, the deliciousness of its desserts is even more important for the success of Extraordinary Desserts. (How popular? A friend of mine drove from LA to San Diego just for the desserts!)

La Bete Noire An irresistible addition! Vanilla creme brulee, chocolate mousse and chocolate truffle cream are layered in between dark chocolate cake moistened with Madagascar vanilla bean.

Lemon Praline Tart and crunchy. This layer cake is made of lemon soaked genoise, French meringue, lemon curd and lemon buttercream, while surrounded with crushed praline.

Napoleon (the most popular order)

Old Town Mexican Cafe

Though I live in the city that >50% of the population is hispanic, I am not quite familiar with Mexican food yet. The "Old Town Mexican Cafe" in San Diego old town was recommended by Richard. I have no idea about most of the dishes on the menu. I know taco, burrito, and pretty much it. I ended up ordering Enchilada basicaaly just in order to really know what Enchilada is like.

Chilaquiles Served with red or green (tomatillo) sauce. Corn tortillas simmered in a hot chile sauce; served with fried eggs and beans. A hang-over cure!

Spring Break in San Diego

The only city I visited during my last spring break was San Diego. "San Diego? Again?" was the reaction of most people I talked to. Yes, I visited San Diego during last spring break. But this time, I enjoyed my trip a lot and got to see all different places. Thanks for Vireen, Benny, Yaya, and Richard.
