Happy New Year, everyone! 2013 will be a year of change for our family, but I am looking forward to it!
After visiting the museums we went to Extraordinary Desserts. I’ve wanted to go there during our past trips to San Diego but we never made it. Friday was the day!
Looking at the display case, I was paralyzed with indecision. Everything looked so good. Our only requirement was “no nuts”, of course. We ended up with a slice of La Bete Noire: Creamy semi-sweet chocolate mousse, vanilla crème brûlée, chocolate ganache, are layered in between dark chocolate cakes and moistened with Madagascar vanilla bean syrup. I almost feel bad revealing that we paid $8.95 for this slice of cake. But, it was probably the best cake I’ve ever had, so that is saying something. D also ordered a cup of coffee, which had distinct macadamia nut flavor. We were planning to sit inside the restaurant, but there was a 20 minute wait in the middle of the afternoon. So, we opted to get our order to go and ate outside, thus avoiding paying tip, at least. We saw tons of flowers being delivered to the restaurant—I think their floral bill must explain a good part of their high prices. After reading the menu, I regretted not ordering the Dulce de Leche cake, as featured on Best Thing I Ever Ate. Oh well, at least I’ll know what to order the next time (if there is ever a next time…I’m kind of thinking this place will be a once in our lifetime type of place—haha).
