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.

Eating at Dim Sum House for Lunar New Year

 To celebrate Lunar New Year, we ate at our neighborhood dim sum spot in Beacon Hill, Dim Sum House. This is the Year of the Rabbit. It's a water rabbit year that only occurs every sixty years. Year of the Rabbit 2023 begins January 22nd. The Rabbit symbolizes peace, prosperity, and vigor in the Chinese zodiac. 

We always enjoy eating at Dim Sum House because of how tasty, hot, and well prepared the dishes are. They have Bubble Tea and a large menu with pictures of the food. Some of the dishes we got this time were the Pork Potstickers, some Shrimp Dumplings, the Veggie Springrolls, a Strawberry Milk Tea, some Custard Buns, and some Egg Tarts. My husband also got some dishes for himself like Chicken Feet, Beef Honeycomb, Beef Rice Noodle Roll, and Sticky Rice. 

My favorite dish on this visit were the Custard Buns. These were so soft and satisfying. Like the Egg Tarts, these are some of the sweet items.
