San Diego Xmas Trip

it's the 3rd time i attend my dad's company xmas trip. this year we went to San Diego for 2 days. we stayed at Paradise Point Resort and the place is beautiful. we didn't do anything on the 1st day except lunch at phil's bbq and had a buffet style dinner with prime rib at the resort.

the best i like about the trip is about the outdoor breakfast by the sea. i love the view and the place was lovely!
the next day we went to SD zoo. last time i was here was in 2005. i think the most fun part was the aerial tram ride. we also went on the bus tour that i didn't do last time. i think we actually got better views of the animals on the bus.

Chin ma Ya

$ 30 and below
we were going to daikuya ramen, but there were over 10 people waiting in line before us. so we end up going to chin ma ya which is fine with me because i also want to try it out. i like their tofu over the noodle. but i would suggest another place located on the 3rd floor inside the plaza. they have much better ramen imo.

we sat at the bar and had omakase style. the chef is young and what surprised me was the uni soup. it looks stylish, like a dish i would see in a French restaurant. but other than that, the omakae didn't impress me. i like the meal in little Tokyo a lot more.
oh no! where's my head.... lol

CoCo's

new curry place opened in RH. i saw it often in taiwan but never tried it. i had the vegetable with cheese curry. good enough that'll make me come back for more. you can also add $1.5 for drink and small salad at lunch time. but i think curry house get bigger portion and choice.
