Row House Café – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 21 October 2011

Autumn is here. I love the transition between seasons, how the previous lingers and the next emerges. Crisp mornings and deciduous trees shedding their golden leaves, interspersed with surprise bursts of sunshine. A couple of locals have mentioned Row House Café and we meandered over to South Lake Union for weekend brunch. Located on Republican between [...]

Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner by Herschell Taghap

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 06 October 2011

From Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean, and North Africa to South America, Sydney is a multicultural city with cuisines from across the continents. Authentic or fusion, rustic or formal, the eateries are diverse and neighbourhoods specialise in Turkish, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Italian, Korean and beyond. But I have never eaten a Filipino meal until the Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner [...]

re:public – South Lake Union, Seattle

After a lovely brunch experience a few weeks ago, we returned to re:public for dinner. The restaurant was lively with a convivial after work crowd enjoying the happy hour. We were seated at a booth and the relaxed atmosphere was conducive to good conversation. Mr and Mrs W shared a heart of romaine salad for an appetiser while Mr S had [...]

Lumpia World – food truck, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 30 August 2011

If I have to draw how my brain functions, it would be a mind map with intersecting and criss-crossing lines in all directions. I make idiosyncratic associations and perplexing connections. The challenge for Mr S is that I think it but I don’t verbalise it. I ask questions or make comments that are seemingly out of [...]

National S’more Day at Dahlia Workshop – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 11 August 2011

I have fond memories of spearing marshmallows on a twig and toasting them over an open fire at school camps. The timing is crucial. The warmth and crackle of the flickering flames lulls you into a glowing sleepiness but you must be alert and watch the spongy confection closely. There is a moment where the outer skin [...]

Cuoco – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 08 August 2011

We’ve had meals with several Australians in the last couple of weeks. Some were visiting for work, others were on holiday. There’s a homely comfort to hearing an Aussie accent, laughing at a sarcastic comment and understanding a cultural reference. Our sunburnt country is girt by sea and with the exception of New Zealand, it takes many [...]

Piedmontese food and wine tasting – Cuoco, Renato Ratti Winery and Soul Wine

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 01 August 2011

Cellar door tastings are free at most Australian wineries. We did a couple of day tours of California Wine Country on bicycles last year and we were shocked that we had to pay up to fifteen dollars for a flight of wines in the Napa Valley. When I read that Soul Wine and Tom Douglas Restaurants were [...]

Summer parties cooking class at Flying Fish – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 25 July 2011

On a cool and drizzling Saturday morning, we were indoors at On the Fly for a cooking class with Chef Christine Keff. We laughed at the irony of recipes for summer parties in this flippant Seattle weather. Christine relocated Flying Fish from Belltown, where Local 360 is, to South Lake Union about a year ago. Next door [...]

I have a vague memory of visiting the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, evidenced only by a souvenired exhibition guide. The temporary accommodation during our first month in Seattle was at the barren wasteland that is the west bank of Lake Union. Going into Downtown by foot necessitated a walk along Westlake, pre Amazon occupation. On those wintery [...]

Portage Bay Café – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Sunday 03 July 2011

There is a homeliness to buffet style dining, an openness and a warm welcome to eating together. The toppings bar at Portage Bay Café has a similar feel. A popular spot for weekend brunch, it was nearly as busy for weekday breakfast. Vintage rowing boats are suspended upside down from the ceiling in the large dining room [...]
