Seattle Food Hack October 2018 Day 5
With just one more day before I conclude this edition of food hack, I started my day with a delicious cup of latte from Seattle Coffee Works which specializes in authentic direct trade coffee, ethically sourced from farmers.
Noon came swiftly and it was time to visit Mae Phim Thai Restaurant located near Pike Place Market, which is a popular place for comfort food from Thailand.
I started my lunch special with a bowl of Tom Kha Kai: a hot and sour soup with coconut milk, chicken, lemongrass, galanga, mushrooms and cilantro.
The main course was the famous Swimming Rama comprising of steam chicken on a bed of spinach topped with peanut sauce, paired with rice, Pad Thai, spring roll, and fried potsticker.
As sleepiness began to set in after lunch, it was a great opportunity to visit the Ghost Alley Espresso to taste its signature drinks made from fresh small batch roasted coffee supplied by Queen Anne Roasters.
The cafe was small and cosy, with friendly staff ready to take your customized drinks order.
I took a quick afternoon break with a warm cup of Salted Nut Latte comprising house made caramel syrup, smoked salts, and hazelnut latte.
After a couple of hours of window shopping, it was time to refuel at Anchorhead Coffee with a delicious cup of Pumpkin Stuff Latte containing delicious spices that reminds you of autumn, perfect with a crispy chewy Quaffle full of fragrant cinnamon.
As it was my last night in Seattle, I had to grab a quick glimpse of the beautiful sunset.
Final stop of the day was a late dinner at my favorite Umi Sake House, complete with a 30-minute wait for a seat by the bar counter.
The dinner began with a plate of House Sashimi comprising of six pieces of thickly sliced fresh yellowtail, salmon, and tuna sashimi.
Next dish was a warm bowl of Asari Miso Soup filled with spinach, manila clams, scallions, and enoki mushroom.
The appetizer was the popular Oyster Shooters containing goosepoint oyster in 7 spice sorbet with sanbai zu which is a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, and mirin.
The main dish was two delicious rolls that came highly recommended by water.
1st sushi roll: Street Fighter - Spicy crab, cucumber and cilantro, topped with 7-spice tuna, garlic ponzu, sesame seeds, jalapeño and shishito peppers.
2nd sushi roll: Spicy Rainbow Roll - Crab-spicy mayo mix, cucumber, avocado and tobiko, topped with tuna, salmon, shrimp, yellowtail and spicy mayo.
