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...

Trying Boba Tea Ice Cream Bars

 

                                A Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Bar from Lam's Seafood Market! 

So I finally got my hands on some Boba Ice Cream Bars. These are very hyped up on Instagram and I was looking for these bars for quite a while. I'd heard they were expensive and not super good, but I was interested in trying them and seeing for myself. So when I saw online that Lam's Seafood Market in Tukwila had them I figured I'd stop in next time I was in the area. About three days later, we were nearby and I was able to stop in. To my delight, I found the bars right away in a small freezer near the check out area. They also had some really cute Panda Bear Ice Cream Bars that I also purchased. 

When we arrived home, I took each ice cream bar outside and took some photos. Then the best part of all-trying each one! The Brown Sugar Boba bar exceeded my expectations and was really one of the best things I've eaten! There was actual boba pearls in the bar and they were really soft and sweet. The ice cream was super creamy and satisfying and the brown sugar flavor tasted just like an actual Brown Sugar Boba drink. Yum! Yes, the price is high for four bars at seven bucks. But I think the price is worth it for how delicious these treats are. 

The Panda bars were really rich and satisfying. If you love both vanilla and chocolate together, you'd love these. The ice cream was so smooth and creamy and the chocolate part was nice and rich. These ice cream bars both hit the spot. We're experiencing pretty hot weather for September and the air is smoky from all of the fires in CA, OR, and here in Eastern WA. So ice cream is the answer if you want to cool down!
