Revel – Fremont, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 13 December 2011

I missed the Seattle Foodies First Friday Lunch Club in November as I was home in Australia. The food lovers sampled every dish on the Revel menu and then some! This whetted my appetite and I was keen to return to Revel for Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi‘s fusion of Korean, French and American flavours. The metal clad facade [...]

Gin Garden in Establishment – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 29 November 2011

Gin Garden in Establishment was my favourite for weekday lunch in Sydney. A popular bar by night, patrons return during the day for its convenient location and consistent quality. An ornate room is lined with columns and features a marble bar. Brightly lit with a high ceiling, bar tables surround the perimeter. Gin Garden is at [...]

Café Sopra – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 24 November 2011

In the heart of Sydney is the historical area of The Rocks. Narrow laneways and steep stairs wind around cobblestone footpaths, sandstone buildings and timber wharves, I have fond memories of the Walsh Bay precinct. Home of the Sydney Theatre Company, the waterfront has a spectacular view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. [...]

Chat Thai – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 22 November 2011

The Boeing Dreamliner, President Obama and Princess Mary all followed us to Australia. We’re enjoying the sunshine, jacarandas in bloom, wearing sunglasses and flip-flops, nostalgic walks, and sentimental meals. Restore, revitalise, rejuvenate. Despite the beauty of the Seattle autumn I’ve had a bout of homesickness and this was a timely trip home. In an effort to adjust to the [...]

Pop Kitchen + Bar – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 10 November 2011

In a hurry for lunch, I walked briskly to Pop Kitchen + Bar. Located at the Experience Music Project, it  has a dual entrance from the EMP and the street. Leafy shrubs surround a patio with crimson chairs that would be lovely in summer or with outdoor heaters in winter on a clear, still day. [...]

Seattle Foodies First Friday Lunch Club at RN74 – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 12 September 2011

Shirley forwarded Darryl‘s invitation to me just in time for this month’s Seattle Foodies First Friday Lunch Club at RN74. I had intended to return to RN74 for a meal after sampling their happy hour a couple of months ago. With fifty five attendees, it was the largest gathering of the First Friday Lunch Club. We occupied the whole [...]

momofuku má pêche – Midtown Manhattan, New York

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

‘In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made; there’s nothing you can’t do, now you’re in New York.’ My first visit to New York was in 1999 on a family holiday. We were en route to Europe and three days in the Big Apple marked the half way point of a round the world trip. I remember [...]

Macrina Bakery and Café – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 19 August 2011

I love neighbourhood bakeries. They’re busy places with friendly staff and loyal customers. We’ve walked by Macrina Bakery and Café many times and finally visited this week for a rare midweek lunch date. We arrived during the peak of their lunch service and the queue was out the door. Facing the entrance is a refrigerated display of [...]

Belle Epicurean – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 18 August 2011

My only visit to Seattle prior to moving here was during winter a couple of years ago. A fog blanket cocooned the city the entire three days and it was the coldest climate I’ve been in except for skiing. On our first day we exited the hotel in search of coffee. Shivering and waddling in [...]

The Pink Door – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 05 August 2011

Pike Place Market thrives with activity in summer. Tourists queue patiently for a coffee from the original Starbucks, buskers are vying for the attention of passers-by, crowds linger at the fishmonger eager to witness a salmon throw, children climb on Rachel the Pig like an amusement park ride, and locals shop and eat in the heart of Emerald City. [...]
