The Crab Pot @ Bellevue

The Crabpot restaurant was introduced to us a couple of years ago by a friend that frequented Washington state because the currency exchange rate was great (for us, Canadians) and diapers were cheaper across the border!  Wendy and I decided to try it again on our trip (one of many) to Washington.  This time, we […]

Tony’s Pea Patch Cafe

Update Feb 15, 2014: This restaurant has since shut down. For breakfast one day while visiting my aunt and uncle in the States they took us to a new cafe.  Tony’s Pea Patch Cafe is family owned, and they serve what I call comfort food – big portions, greasy, filling, yummy. They serve breakfast till […]

The Outback Steakhouse

Ever since I saw the picture of the Bloomin’ Onion on The Outback Steakhouse‘s menu in Hong Kong many years ago, I’ve always wanted to try it.  It just looked so pretty. Now many years after, I finally had the chance.  This was during another one of my trips down to the States. It was […]

New Seoul Restaurant

As much as I like the Korean restaurants here in the Lower Mainland, I’ve always found that in Washington where my aunt lives, there is better Korean (and Vietnamese) food.  (Chinese food is a different story…) New Seoul Restaurant is a Korean restaurant my aunt’s family frequent.  They had taken us there numerous times also, […]

Le Panier – Very French Bakery

I went down to Seattle with a co-worker for a one day trip since she had always wanted to go to The Crab Pot.  We were able to fit a lot of shopping into the day and when we arrived at The Crab Pot, it was a bit too early for dinner so we decided […]

Buca di BEPPO – Lynnwood, WA

was in a moving car when taking this… On our last night in the states, my aunt and uncle took us out for dinner.  The restaurant they chose was Buca di BEPPO which is supposedly quite popular, and it was.  By 6:30pm the waiting area was packed with people.  Good thing we had reservations. The […]

Jack In The Box

Boyfriend had always wanted to try Jack In The Box.  He had a chance this time. They had a variety of special milkshakes during this time.  If I remember correctly, there was Eggnog and Pumpkin Pie.  I chose to get the Pumpkin Pie milkshake to try. It was VERY thick, like most fast food shakes.  […]

World Wrapps @ Alderwood Mall

Update: World Wrapps is now closed. We didn’t get out of our relatives house until around 1pm that day, so we were starving.  We planned to eat at the food court but I saw World Wrapps at the outer Village part of the mall, and I couldn’t take my hunger anymore. The inner decor was […]

Red Lobster “Endless Shrimp Fest”

Before our trip to Washington I’ve been seeing these Red Lobster commercials on tv promoting their “Endless Shrimp Fest”.  The commercial looked so enticing we decided to pay them a visit when we’re down there. The closest one to us is the one in Lynnwood. I must say they did a pretty good job with […]

Taco Bell

Our first dinner during our US trip was at Taco Bell.  This specific location is the one located near Seattle Premium Outlet at exit 202. We’ve always liked Taco Bell.  They have great tasting, big and cheap combos. Currently they offer these fruit & creme slushie drinks called Fruitista Freeze.  There are 3 flavors: Triple […]
