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.

Dim Sum at Fortune Terrace in Richmond, BC


After checking out of our hotel, we left Vancouver and stopped for dim sum in Richmond. We had to wait about forty five minutes for a table at Fortune Terrace Chinese Cuisine. For me the wait was worth it because of the adorable pig egg buns, the turtle shaped pineapple buns, and the sweet potato handbags.

At Fortune Terrace they give you a sheet with the menu items and you circle the ones you want. The wait was only a few minutes for the first plates to start coming out. We started with Oolong Tea. My husband wanted more savory dishes, so he ordered the Chicken Feet and Beef Tripe. We also ordered the Rice Roll and that arrived with a soy sauce, a peanut sauce, and hoisin. Our boys really liked the pineapple buns. These are a staple in Hong Kong and the three of us had never tried them. They were really sweet and full of pineapple filling.

The pigs were super cute and full of an egg filling when we cut into them. We also loved the sweet potato purses. There were three of them on a plate. There was the Louis Vuitton logo, Chanel, and Hermes. They were fun to eat and had a bright purple filling.

When we were done I was full from the small but heavy dishes. Then it was time to head back to Seattle. Our food adventure and holiday trip to Vancouver was over! Until next time, BC!
