hodad’s

Great creator of Hodad’s, I love you.

Hodad’s – home of the best burgers.

“My milkshake brings all the people to the yard, and they’re like it’s better than yours.” Sorry, Kelis. I meant Hodad’s, not your milkshake. XD

I could go on forever. But I should better tell you a bit more about those juicy and delicious burgers from Hodad’s. So far, I have only been to Hodad’s at Ocean Beach. The interior is really cool. There’s a front part of a car re-designed to a seat and table for two people (kids love it) and old number plates from all over the world are on the walls. Hodad’s menue include three different sizes of hamburger and cheeseburger with(out) bacon and five special burgers, fries, potato wedges, onion rings and milkshakes.

My sis, my two cousins and me were all ordering a burger and a milkshake each and shared a basket of potato wedges and onion rings. I had a single bacon burger and was fighting heavily to finish that tasty monster. I couldn’t stop eating this juicy, savory and delicious burger but my stomach was rebelling. My cousin wisely ordered a mini burger but still had to grip it tight with two hands and lost the battle in the end. We could hardly eat any of the wedges and onion rings and had to pack the rest for home. The onion rings were good but not as crispy and tasty as at Phil’s BBQ (sorry, Hodad’s).

But the burgers were exceptionally good as well as the milkshakes. Especially the milkshakes!

Gigantic milkshake. Real ice cream. At loss for words.

extraordinary desserts

It’s been a while since I posted something about desserts. Now it’s time for extraordinary desserts.

My friend Becca told me about a café/bakery named Extraordinary Desserts in San Diego near Balboa Park. They have this beautiful cakes, scones and cookies. The cakes are decorated so wonderfully it’s almost a shame to eat them.

I thought I buy something to share it with my family, my aunties and uncles. I decided to take a blood orange ricotta cake and some strawberry and blueberry scones. I left a little fortune at the shop but the cake was worth it. The cake was fresh and juicy, and the scones were great.

Unfortunately, I learnt that my aunts and uncles do not have a sweeth tooth like me. I think half of the cake went to waste. I couldn’t eat it all by myself. 😦

chinese noodles

One day, my uncle took us out for lunch at a Chinese restaurant which he said had the best noodle soup with duck. I have eaten lots of noodle soups with duck before but never had such a big amount of crispy duck in/with it before. Usually, they just put a few pieces of duck into the soup and mostly those parts with bones. This time they served the noodle soup with half a duck.

My dad decided to order crispy noodles with vegetables and beef. The noodles were a bit hard to eat. My dad had to ask for a scissor but it was a good sign for the crispiness of the noodles.
