Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry. This blended cocktail was so fruity and delicious. To eat I had two Carne Asada Street Tacos and a Birria Poquitos Burrito. The Burrito was small and served with a side of Consommé sauce. Both food items were tasty and satisfying.  My husband also had some Street Tacos and a Margarita from the happy hour menu. My sons had a Cheese Quesadilla and beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I first visited Poquitos in 2012, also for happy hour, and I remembered liking it then, too. It was time for a meal there again.  For dessert, we walked about ten minutes west to  Voodoo Doughnut . The Seattle location opened late last ye...

Honey Court Seafood Restaurant

Seattle's International District is brimming over with Dim Sum choices.  If you can get lucky and grab a parking spot, the world is your oyster.  I posted last month about my visit to Grand Jumbo for Dim Sum but this time its Honey Court Seafood Restaurant.  I had five different dishes so the photos will be different, don't worry! The exterior and interior of these places are never much to look at, so I focused on capturing the food, which should always be the main thing anyway.  Honey Court is pretty standard Chinese food.  It was all warm, fresh, and a little bit greasy.  I couldn't resist ordering a plate of Sweet and Sour Chicken.  Who doesn't love some of that?  It was another tasty meal out with my family. 
When the dim sum cart rolled by the first time, I chose some shrimp dumplings.  My son loved the shrimp and well, the whole thing I guess!  I liked them too, but I really liked the vibrant color of the dish. 

Then we all shared some Vegetable Chow Mein, which I really enjoyed.  I liked all the hot veggies, especially the bean sprouts, and the mien was cooked perfectly.

Here we have some chicken feet.  I didn't try any because my son wanted it all!  That was funny and unexpected!

We ate some white sugar gelatin desserts while we waited for our Sweet and Sour Chicken and my husband's Beef Rice Noodle dish.  I didn't take a photo of that because we had that at Grand Jumbo and included that in the post.  We also had the BBQ Pork Buns which we had a Grand Jumbo, too.  My son also loved that dish!

And finally, the Sweet and Sour Chicken, one of my favorites!
