    What is PED XING?
    <span class=

    Oh, Some passer-by tells me “Pedestrian Crossing”

    Ah..! And here i thought I was so SMS lingo savvy… :P

    <span class=

    So .. a quick stroll to dinner has us walking past the chocolate factory…

    <span class=

    Its amazing the amount of sweet things that Californians eat, and the women still look so fit (especially the ones running round the park) !

    How do they do it..

    <span class=

    Pass the art gallery, and I know I am not suppose to take photos, but technically, I am not IN the gallery.. and OH… I could not resist it! My favourite childhood book character…

    Dr Seuss! “How do you do Sir…?”

    <span class=

    <span class=

    All this gorgeous scenery and walking around is making us hungry..

    <span class=

    Ah… we see it! This is my favourite Contemporary Californian restaurant in La jolla…

    <span class=

    Introducing Georges at the Cove!

    <span class=

    I have been here before, but the view from the Ocean Terrace never ceases to amaze me. This time we are in time for the sunset, and it is spectacular.

    <span class=

    On the Ocean Terrace, you can balance the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean with a breath of fresh air as you take in the region’s best rooftop dining.

    <span class=

    White chocolate martinis are a must! No better way to start dinner !

    <span class=

    As the saying goes… That’s life! And this sure is the life !!

    C’est La Veev is an inspiringly refreshing drink made from veev acai spirit, blueberries and cucumber. I really like this one!

    <span class=

    Just as the sun goes down over the horizon, they serve the starters… George’s signature soup – chicken broccoli! Very, very good!

    <span class=

    Fresh mussels follow soon after, and they are nothing short of delicious.

    <span class=

    Seared rare tuna served on a bed of soba noodle salad, with wasabi soy vinaigrette. Perfection in a bowl…

    <span class=

    Grilled Mexican shrimp on citrus risotto. Flawless.

    <span class=

    Cod fish served on a bed of corn… low carb but high in taste… that’s what I call a meal! lol…

    <span class=

    We take a second to catch our breath.. but as our waiter brings out the dessert menu, our eyes fall on the Snicker Sundae !

    How to resist?

    <span class=

    Chocolate banana cream pie was the straw that broke the camels back.. and we could not eat another morsel of food.

    Satiated.

    Filled.

    <span class=

    As a parting drink we each had a La Jolla Winter – white Godiva, Chambord, Frangelico, steamed milk, dash of cinnamon, served in a brandy snifter… and was thankful for the experience of dining at such a cool place.

    <span class=

    It was with some sadness, that we said goodbye to the beautiful La Jolla, but no matter… we vowed to come back real soon :)
