::last day in LA: farmers' market & hollywood::

after visting la brea tar pits, i decided to head down to the farmers' market and the grove (both located adjacent to each other). this being my one of my favorite-st place in LA, it was only fitting that i pay a visit there before i leave LA!

i just love the farmers' market - for their so many many interesting foodstuff, their so very fresh produce, their sinfully delightful pastries and the general gastronomically-conducive atmosphere that would make a glut like me so very happy:)

actually, this is the main reason why im at the farmers' market - the gumbo pot, my favourite stall there!!

i really love these stews - which hail from new orleans!

lunch was very satisfying:) i had a bowl of seafood gumbo stew, with spicy collard greens salad and corn bread! yummydelicious:) but i still think gumbo ya-ya's nicer!

after lunch, i went to the grove - i love looking around in the unique shops here! and of course, the shopping too;) the grove is so conveniently located next to the farmers' market. eating good food and shopping rank among my (and generally, any other girl's) favourite pastimes - no wonder it's one of my favorite-st place in LA!

yay! the other half was finally free after lunch to meet me:) we headed down to hollywood! here's us in front of the grauman's chinese theatre! i really wanted to watch a movie there - coz it is THE place where a lot of high profile movies premiere at - for example, most recently, ocean's 13! this theatre along hollywood boulevard is a very popular choice of venue for movie premieres because it is believed that a movie that premieres at the chinese theatre would do very well at the box office - coz the place apparently has good fengshui (due to the many dragon scupltures displayed in its premises)!

coldstone creamery delight!

the other half had chocolate ice-cream, mixed in with riese peanut butter cups!

and i had coffee ice-cream, mixed in with graham's pie crusts! ahhh. it was goooooood:)

incidentally, the american idol final was held that evening!

the influx of the paparazzi, camera flashes, security guards and barricades everywhere - contributed to the excitement to the atmosphere as people tried to catch a glimpse of their idols - at the kodak theatre!

amidst all the frenzy, the other half and i headed to the french crepe company at hollywood - for our last dinner together in LA!

the very tasty seafood crepe!

savoury crepe - with fresh strawberries, peaches and nutella!! yum.

the other half and i - watching the show vacancy at the chinese theatre! the movie was real bad, but i guess the company more than made up for it;) this photo that we took in the theatre turned out quite weird though - with all the funny lights and stuff?

the nice decor at the chinese theatre! maybe that explains why watching a movie here is more expensive than that elsewhere:/
