Food 02: Pasadena

So after cheap greasy Chinese food, we met up with Vero and Tina for some wine and dessert. I must have not been to Pasadena for a long while because I got so confused at finding this place (which I've been to few times before)! For some reason I drove all the way to Rialto theatre and was expecting a mexican or cuban restaurant ^^;; We share a bottle of white wine and 3 desserts. Crema al Doppio Gusto: Fennel infused custard with chocolate mousse and caramelized sugar topping. I think it was my favorite out of the three. The others are Zabaione alla Gritti: Chilled zabaione with fresh berries, Bellini sorbet, fresh whipped cream and amarena cherry. Crespelle con Vaniglia: Crepes filled with apples and grappa pastry cream; vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Haha you'd appreciate sweets more after you have tasty/salty/greasy food right? Yeah the wine picture turns out so...atmospheric...^^;; (the green colors are olive oil in behind). Actually the desserts are only ok.The apple crepe is like...apple pie but in crepe. The three taste similar too actually...hmm...

Oh!! Where was that logo reflected on the wine!!??? Surreal picture!!! ^^;;;;

The desserts look so nice!! But I am surprised that you actually needed dinner before wine and dessert - I thought dessert alone would be enough for you guys!
