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.

Dinner at Jade Garden Restaurant

It's been rainy and chilly in Seattle, so some hot Chinese food sounded awesome. We headed to the I.D and checked out Jade Garden. This spot is really popular for dim sum and they get packed on the weekends. Since it was a quiet weeknight, we were seated right away. 

They serve dim sum all day but we wanted just some classic dishes like Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Chicken. I love hot tea at Asian restaurants when its cold out. My husband tried one of their beers, a Chinese beer called a Tsingtao, which went well with his food. We ordered some Veggie Fried Rice, Almond Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Garlic Sautéed Green Beans.  

The dishes arrived one at a time and were hot and fresh. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was a little overcooked, but we really enjoyed the Almond Chicken. The beans were crispy and full of flavor and the rice had broccoli, peas, carrots, and scrambled eggs. We had a lot of leftovers, but not having to cook the next day was the best part.
