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.

Lunch at Golden Daisy Restaurant

If you're looking for a quick and inexpensive spot for Dim Sum in Beacon Hill then Golden Daisy's your spot.  Looks kind of like a hole in the wall but once you're seated and served your food, you'll be pleasantly surprised and satisfied.  The Chinese food is authentic, if that's what you're craving.  Don't get me wrong, Panda Express can be delicious and I always enjoy the Orange Chicken from Red Apple in Beacon Hill.  But when you want some duck with crispy skin or some juicy shrimp dumplings, then you have to dig a little deeper to find your spot for lunch.  Chinatown and South Seattle are full of spots like these, just remember that many are cash only and the ambiance won't always be so noteworthy.  Our family had a little dim sum and a couple of plates from the menu.  We had some shrimp dumplings, some fried pork dumplings, and chicken feet.  Then we had duck with white rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken with white rice.  It was all great tasting and now I know why my husband's family is always ordering food from there.  For something a little sweet, we shared a piece of Malaysian cake.  This classic dim sum dessert is a sponge cake that is light, soft, and spongy.  We also shared some white rice cake, another standard dim sum dish to end the meal.
