Seattle, I miss you.

Feeling the Gloomy days just like I do in Beijing?

It Reminds me of the Life that I had in Seattle.

Truly, truly I miss all of the Food there

and

The homey atmosphere of course. 

Welcome to the world of great, amazing, small bites of Seattle. 

Ellenos - Pike Place

The perfect to-go Greek Yogurt tuck away in Pike Place Market. Best, greek.yogurt. ever! Sweet + Sour never been a perfect combo like this one! 

The Crumpet Shop - Pike Place

Start your day off in Pike Place by going to this place first, then to Ellenos. Why? BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE GREATEST PESTO. EVER. love love love their homemade pesto! Don't forget to order their most popular crumpet: The Vermont! It's sweet, it's a little bit salty, a little bit sour. It's like all the jams are dancing in your mouth! Must go. (they close at 3pm though)  

Beecher's -

Pike Place

Mac & Cheese never been so thick + awesome like this one-of-a-kind dish! They made their cheese on-the-spot, so you know what you're getting into: trouble trouble for addiction! 

Pike Place Chowder

- Pike Place

Open kinda late but worth to try! Get their Original Clam Chowder cause it's just perfect for Seattle's rainy weather. The portion is just perfect but a little bit pricey. But well, gotta make this your Pit Stop to end your Pike Place Day!

Musashi's - Wallingford

Cheapest ($20 for a super big & perfect) portion Chirashi in the U.S. that I have tried so far. Don't forget to ask for their Noodle Salad & Spicy Mayo Sauce because without these two? You won't feel the perfect-amazing experience that I had there! don't forget to bring Cash or Checks cause they don't accept Credit Card. 

Beef Bowl - Central Market Shoreline

It's simple, It's delicious, It's quite big, It's cheap; What else do you want? This is a must go place if you want to get that perfect textured beef bowl in Seattle. It's kind of a "Hidden Gem" in Seattle just because it's in a supermarket and you gotta order it at a small sushi counter. Just go to the entrance, go straight, and you can see there's this one small counter that sells ready-to-go sushi(s), ask them for a beef bowl and voila! you'll get this delicious meal. 

Facing East - Bellevue

Another great-awesome-getreadytogetfat Chinese Food in Seattle! You gotta arrive right when they're open cause there's always a line forming outside of this place! It's all about Pork Belly here foodies! Make sure you come with empty stomach cause damn, you'll regret it if you don't! Order their Taiwanese Pork Belly Bun & Spiced Pork Stew over Rice. Damn, these pork literally melts.in.your.mouth. 

Chiang's Gourmet - Mapleleaf

No. Don't mistaken this is the same as P.F.Chang's. Please, no. This.Is.The.Real.Szechuan.Food. THE AMAZINGLY-DABOMB-PERFECT-RAVISHING-Chinese Food in Seattle. Gotta order the right dishes though! Take notes Foodie: 1. Walnut Shrimp 2. Fish Noodle 3. Five Star Chicken. Please build me a Time Machine so I can go there.....

Oddfellows -

Capitol Hill

As you can kinda see, Capitol Hill has many-unending coffee shops & brunch places. This place is one of the best brunch restaurants that you gotta try (but beware of the line cause they don't take Reservations). This spot is perfect for you to have brunch with your family and friends! Try their coffee too! Not bad at all!! 

Hiroki - Wallingford

Cause Seattle is all about small bites - Chinese food - coffee and desserts! Never, ever underestimate Hiroki in Seattle. Why? Well, because not only he sells this great Matcha Latte powder that you can bring home, his famous Green Tea Tiramisu is to go for! I don't know about you but this Tiramisu is just, wow. worth the time, worth to try. You'll feel like you just wanna stay there and eat this tiramisu all.day.long. I repeat, all, day, long. 

Old School Frozen Custard - Capitol Hill 

Unique Ice Cream? Check. Different Flavors every single day? Check. You got that right! This place changes flavors every single day (and they have seasonal flavor too). If you're in Capitol Hill Area, this is the perfect place to go for a pit stop!

Molly Moon-

Wallingford

/ University Village

The perfect closing dessert of the afternoon (the original place is walking distance from Musashi's). Get their Earl Grey Ice Cream, don't forget to ask for their cone! 

Espresso Vivace Roasteria -

Capitol Hill

Hold up. Pause. This is the perfect coffee place that you can't ever, I repeat, you CANNOT miss when you're visiting Seattle. Why? They serve a perfect Cappuccino. If you feel like trying their unique - can't really find it anywhere else coffee, you gotta try their Signature Coffee Nico. It's sweet, it's small, it's screaming for you to order it, again. 

Starbucks Reserve - Capitol Hill

I'm not a fan of Starbucks Coffee but this place is an exception. Why? Cause you can actually taste their fresh-made coffee. For coffee lovers, this place makes you feel welcomed and I kinda get the 'Home' vibe. You can see how the coffee are roasted here, it's kind of like a small factory. Interesting place, good coffee!
