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...

Checking out the new SomiSomi Ice Cream at Westfield Southcenter

 

A soft serve swirl with Pink Guava and Ube, topped with Fruity Pebbles, a macaron, and an upside-down ah-boong with Nutella filling. 


I'd been waiting months from SomiSomi to open at my local mall, Westfield Southcenter. SomiSomi Ice Cream is known for their incredible soft serve and the Korean ah-boong. An ah-boong is a fish shaped waffle that's hollow and has a filling. You can get it upside-down with your soft serve or have the soft serve inside and used liked a cone. Since we'd had that before at other spots, we wanted to try the fish waffle upside-down on top of our ice cream. 

SomiSomi just opened last Friday, so I wanted to wait a few days so it wouldn't be so busy. When my family and I went, there was no line or wait at all. I felt so lucky! I chose the Pink Guava and Ube swirl with an upside-down ah-boong filled with Nutella. After you pay, you can choose unlimited toppings and even a macaron! I chose Fruity Pebbles and a macaron for mine. My son chose Cookies and Cream soft serve with an upside-down ah-boong and a macaron. 

The soft serve was nice and firm. The Pink Guava flavor was perfectly sweet and tasted so refreshing. I'd never had guava ice cream before, and this was unexpectedly good. And anything with Fruity Pebbles is gonna be delicious. The Ube was good, but I find Ube flavor to be more pretty than anything as the flavor is always subtle. 

They also have drinks like a fresh Strawberry Milk and Cold Brew, plus Cold Brew Floats that I want to try next time. I'm thrilled that Westfield Southcenter has a great soft serve spot now!
