boating fun! @ Monday, July 19, 2010
last friday, my friends and i hit the seattle waters for a little boating fun! our friend, and care group leader, keith, is nice enough to take us all out on his boat for a little cruise around lake union and lake washington. started out with an early dinner at ivar's salmon house, where i bought calamaris and david got the deep fried scallops. then we hit the waters down to lake union, where keith demonstrated the "full speed" of his boat, and down to lake washington for a little tubing fun.
this is why we love summer in seattle! :D

food adventures- @ Monday, July 5, 2010
it's been a while since i blog about the food and places i've been to in seattle, so perhaps it's right about time i start updating about a few-
◘ queen mary's tea room. small, totally cute little tea room filled with tiaras, bunnies, antique tea-ware and all kinds of tea for the princess in you. love the colored sugar as well!
◘ joey's restaurant at lake union. from the closest: spicy italian pizza, baby back barbecue ribs, and ahi tuna tacos. great food and awesome cocktails. ♥ hanging out at this place!
◘ purple bellevue's cranberry bread pudding. uh, not as good as i want it to be. the best bread pudding i've had in seattle is the one at broadway grill. sadly they don't have that anymore :(
◘ purple bellevue's creme brulee and vanilla bean cheesecake. honestly, i can't really tell the difference between most of the creme brulees i've eaten so far, so i don't know if this one's more exceptional than the others. but i do love the vanilla bean cheesecake. it's encrusted by a dark chocolate layer, so it's a little bit like those chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream blocks you buy from the grocery store, except that it's filled with subtle, smooth vanilla cream inside.
◘ cafe presse's croque madame. toast + ham + melted gruyere + sunny-side egg, slap it with a french name, and i'm all for it ♥_♥
◘ remedy tea's white chai tea with little tea cookies. awesome place to chillax and gossip with your friends while sipping some tea. the ambience is definitely different from queen mary's tea room. remedy tea gives off a more simplistic and modern vibe, while queen mary's tea room makes you feel like you're in some kind of doll house. while both places house awesomely good teas (or perhaps i'm not sophisticated enough to differentiate between good tea and bad tea), personally i still prefer queen mary's tea room. just because you can feel like a little girl all over again there ;)

it's been a year-♥ @
who would've thought that in a blink of an eye, a year has gone and past. it seems like i've known you for so long, yet time felt like it flew by in an instant.
anyhow, david & i went to ruth chris' steakhouse for our one-year anniversary dinner, and sad to say, the food there was quite disappointing for a famous steakhouse. i don't know if it was the meat quality (which should not have been the case since they said that it's the "top 2% USDA prime grade") or the cooking execution, the steak lacked the freshness and flavor that i usually enjoy at other steakhouses like daniel's broiler and peter luger's. nevertheless, we still had fun taking pictures and playing with the paper stars that they used to decorate our table with :)
with love-
