My Favorite Dessert Place in CA!


I always drive all the way down to San Diego for dessert,
Trust me, it's worth it.
I've been to so many dessert places in Southern California,
Still,
Only Extraordinary Dessert wins my heart.

They have thick, creamy cakes,
with unbelievable aroma,
Not mentioning the cute little flowery decor on the top of these sweet little devils.

But how about those Japanese style dessert?
Well, some of them are good,
However, the tastes are a wee bit too light for me.
And I don't like fluffy sponge cake,
Never a big fan of mousses too.

Only, Only Extraordinary Dessert.
Well, at least in Southern California.

Let me show you one corner of the place and their menu first-



And here are the yummy stuff,

Too bad they didn't have my favorite two things yesterday.
Chocolate Bread Pudding
Banana Cream Tart
But I shall return!

Suggestion:
If you don't like those thick, creamy tastes, or you prefer not-so-sweet dessert, try to avoid ordering cakes from here, just go for the tarts, pies, mousses, stuff like that.

I always go to the one on Union Street cz they have more variety for dessert and the place is more spacious. It's kinda like a lounge at night. The other place on Fifth Street is the first original Extraordinary Dessert, smaller but cute.
Remember, it can gets really crowded during weekends and at nights.

Food Poisoning

Ok, I've been laying on my bed the whole day,
Why?
Cz the bad chicken I ate yesterday.
I had the same symptom last Saturday, which was the day after ISA bonfire.
Suspect: Chicken.

Later on I made some fried rice with those suspicious chicken,
I didn't want to throw them away, thinking that by cooking them more than 10 mins should do the trick,
Apparently not, the day after I ate the fried rice, my illness came back.
Dizzy Dizzy Dizzy and I couldn't get rid of this puking feeling.

I finally got up from my bed, went downstairs with my frustration,
And,
I threw all the fried rice away, only that yummy stir-fried noodles left.
Standing alone in my fridge.
Final words, I still ate some noodles, not the leftover one,
I ate the one I cooked with soup base, along with some chicken (good ones!) and Common Yam Rhizome (山藥)

See. I can still eat even though I was sick.
I even ate a chocolate chip cookie afterwards.
What can I do? I was hungry.

Here's my buddy that gone through the whole uncomfortable stages with me this morning:
