Mio Sushi – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 20 December 2011

Originating from Portland, Mio Sushi recently opened in the Rollin Street Flats building. At the nexus of the Westlake thoroughfare between Whole Foods and the Tom Douglas hub, the location has high foot traffic. There are a dozen Mio Sushi franchises in Oregon and Washington State. The chain is a family friendly restaurant with an [...]

Chaats from Bombay pop up dinner by Devarshi Patel

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 14 December 2011

I check the Tom Douglas website regularly for new events. They’re only advertised online and sometimes tweeted. I noticed the chaats from Bombay pop up dinner by Devarshi Patel listed a couple of days after I returned from Australia. I made a purchase immediately as the first one, Thrilla in Manila pop up dinner by Herschell Taghap, [...]

Cactus – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 06 December 2011

I walk through South Lake Union several times a week. The neighbourhood is busy during the week, especially on the Westlake thoroughfare from Whole Foods to Harrison. I noticed the construction site on the corner of Harrison and Terry many months ago and didn’t know it was Cactus until recently. I love the pink window frames! Next to [...]

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

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 31 August 2011

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 [...]

Tutta Bella – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 16 August 2011

There is a pattern to my notorious indecisiveness. At least once a week, we exchange a conversation like this. Mr S: ‘Where would you like to go for dinner?’ Me: ‘I don’t know, let me think about it.’ Mr S: ‘Have you picked a restaurant?’ Me: ‘Here’s a shortlist, you decide.’ Exasperated, Mr S would [...]

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 [...]
