I read about Dur Dur Café having one of the best Chai around town, I had to go try it for myself.
Dur Dur served Somalian food that I never had — another reason to visit!
Turned out it was an interesting dining experience all together!
Pike Place Market Good Eats Part I
A whirlwind shopping and eating trip at Pike Place Market for about an hour and fifteen minutes before the crowd swarmed in on a quiet Friday morning.
It was always plenty of fun to go but parking could really be a hassle; Friday morning proved to be not so bad.
We started off with breakfast at The Crumpet Shop.
The store was filled with people and they were certainly speedy as the line moved quickly.
High Tea @ Trellis
I was excited to find out that Trellis Restaurant at the Kirkland Heathman Hotel had high tea in the afternoon from 12 to 4pm, on Thursdays to Sundays.
High Tea service will end on February 16 this year.
My girlfriend and I decided to give this high tea a try.
I always found high tea fun.
With all the delicately prepared varieties of food, experiencing different tastes and textures in one seating, it was a luxury.
I am also fascinated by the fact that it was an afternoon tea event, a snack, but with so much food!
Perhaps I was not supposed to finish all the delicious food?
Compare to high tea in England, it was definitely a far more casual experience.
There were many kinds of Mighty Leaf Teas to choose from for our tea.
We got proper big tea pots with cups, saucers, cream and sugar.
I felt the need to hold up my pinky as I sipped the tea!
A look at the menu told me that we were in for a meal!
Le Petite Terroir, Non-Caffeinted Almond and Seasme Drinks
Back to reality from all the traveling and good food never ends!
Very grateful to catch the last meal from Le Petite Terroir, a tiny farm to table restaurant in Woodinville, WA — in our wine country.
Unfortunately the owner of the restaurant decided that they were going to operate only as a catering company.
The restaurant was only around for less than a year.
Chef Jason Custer have not decided what he is going to do yet — and I believe we will keep an eye on him as I do enjoy his cooking.
We did the tasting menu that night.
Lighting was not the greatest, colors of the pictures were suffering a bit.
Started off with a delicious bacon jam on toasts with goat cheese.
Cornish Game Hen
Prepare Cornish Game Hen last night for the very first time using a modified Jamie Oliver’s recipe. The hens turned out very tender and the recipe was easy to follow!
Ingredient:
3 Cornish game hens
3 sticks of Rosemary (1 stick for each Cornish game hen)
2 sticks of marjoram
