COD: B-01091Category: Food Supplements
Immunobalance by the Bioscience Institute is a food supplement designed to support the immune system and fight inflammation through a mix of vitamin D, vitamin C, enzymes and natural extracts with anti-inflammatory properties that are able to promote the organism’s natural defenses.
Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and inflammatory responses (1). Two tablets of Immunobalance provide a dose of vitamin D corresponding to 1000% of the nutritional reference values (NRV), equal to 5 mcg (2).
The fruits of the Acerola are recognized as providing support and restorative action and the ability to promote the organism’s natural defenses. They are also antioxidants (3). The vitamin C present in them contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (1).
Ashwagandha root also promotes the organism’s natural defenses. Considered to be a tonic-adaptogen, it is recommended in case of physical and mental fatigue (3).
Scientific studies have associated the Ashwagandha with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor properties (4).

Early into our stay in Chișinău we had a friend ask if we had mastered grocery shopping yet, as this is a critical piece to feeling at home in a new country. It’s funny, because I hadn’t expected grocery shopping to be too much of an adjustment. It’s not like we are slaughtering our own animals to eat, or navigating large open-air markets (though those do exist) for our weekly groceries. Chișinău has both small corner markets and large grocery stores with a large selection. And yet….grocery shopping was truly a challenge at the beginning. Now that we are a few months in, I feel like I have some experience to back up my list of the best, the worst, and the weirdest in Chișinău grocery stores.
- Milk in a milk pitcher – I get an absurd amount of joy from my milk pitcher. We buy our milk here in a weird triangular pouch thing. So, early on, I realized that I needed a container to put it in. I went to the large outdoor market by myself (which I love because of all the older ladies who run the stalls), and I bought a little pitcher from one of the aforementioned adorable ladies. This was months ago and the magic seriously has not worn off. Marie Kondo would definitely tell me to keep the milk pitcher.
- Fresh bread – The grocery stores here bake bread fresh every day, and they bake different types of bread on different days. My favorite bread at our closest grocery store is made on Mondays. The bread is so good and it is
realcheap. Like 70 cents per loaf cheap. There will be no keto dieting for us in Moldova ….I can tell you that.
- Lots of sweets – Speaking of anti-keto…every grocery stores has the most amazing selection of cookies, candies, and fantastical cakes you can buy by the slice. I came to Moldova thinking that I would have time for lots of baking…but the only thing I have baked in the last 3 months is chocolate chip cookies. (You can’t find an American-style chocolate chip cookie here and I wanted to share that experience with a Moldovan friend.) Why would I bake when there are such magical dessert sections here in all the grocery stores?
- Groceries are inexpensive by our standards – This is very true except for a few imported exceptions (ie peanut butter). Granted, it is not something we like to emphasize in front of our Moldovan friends. Groceries are cheap based on an American salary, but not necessarily cheap based upon a Moldovan one. But for all of our American friends reading this blog, I’ll give you an example: An average kilogram of apples cost ~9 lei….which is 25 cents/pound.
- So much Russian! So it turns out a lot of the food is imported from Russia. And though shopping would have been difficult enough in Romanian, it actually was much harder at first because I don’t know Russian. Let me give you an example:
It took us an absurd amount of time to realize that most items imported from Russia have a sticker on the back in Romanian that lists what it is, the ingredients, and the nutritional value. (Don’t get me started on nutritional value labels here…I still haven’t figured that one out.)
- Buying tampons and pads (again with the Russian!!) To be fair, this task is kind of difficult in the U.S. Let’s be real – there are like a zillion options that are all in some way pretty much the same but then again the differences actually matter. So throw that mentality along with new brands and different languages together, and I basically stood in this aisle of the grocery store for like 10 minutes just staring. I picked something up….put it back down….and then
- Having to weigh fruits and veggies – This uses a lot of plastic bags!! Each type of fruit or vegetable needs to be put into a small plastic bag, brought to a store employee who then weighs it, and they then print a little sticker out from their scale and put it on the bag. If you get to the checkout without your produce already weighed then they send you back. However, please note: you are not allowed to weigh the fruit on its own. You are also not allowed to reuse plastic bags because they all have a sticker on them from their previous use. So whereas I thought I was cutting down on my carbon footprint by not having a car….it actually turns out that I’m right back to where I started by using approximately 3 billion plastic bags during my time in Moldova. (Maybe not quite, but you get the idea). And honestly, it’s just annoying to have to find an employee. There can be some intense eyeing and jockeying in line to get to one of those employees and their scale. (P.S. Did I tell you about the time a
10 year oldgirl totally cut in front of me in the check out line like it ain’t no thang?!)
- The unreasonably extensive selections for fish (dried, smoked, raw….you name it) as well as sour cream
I believe the following pictures speak for themselves and no further words are required on this topic.


Today was the quintessential fall day! Foggy and rainy and oh so colorful. The perfect backdrop for our first Thanksgiving in Charlotte.
I had a bowl of banana oatmeal with lots of cinnamon for breakfast.
I ran a quick 3 miles through my neighborhood, woke up the Husband, and then we drove to a state park near Lake Wylie. We hiked with my Dad for 1.5 hours. It was beautiful!
James came, too. He had a blast, and his tummy got really muddy.
I munched on cashews while we hiked:
We headed back and I immediately got to work on the food. Bless Nicoleâ€™s soul, we were only asked to bring over vegetables, corn casserole, and pie! I had it so easy.
Munched on pumpkin bread while I cooked:
And then we headed off to Nicole and Isaac’s house for Thanksgiving! It was fun to have a local Thanksgiving because normally we travel out of state.
Our excellent hosts:
Crack open the apple cider (thanks, DadHTP!):
Letâ€™s see.. we had:
- Roasted Brussel spouts, carrots, and parsnips
- Corn Casserole
- Sweet potato casserole
- Butternut squash and black bean casserole
- Steamed kale
And then there was pie:
Lots and lots of pie. Pie is my very favorite part of Thanksgiving! I killed three slices.
Did I mention Nicole made homemade vanilla ice cream?
I foresee leftovers in my immediate future for dinner tonight! That is why I prefer Thanksgiving LUNCH over DINNER because you really get two good meals on one awesome day.
Now, we are debating: Elf, Love Actually, or another Christmas movie? I vote ELF! But I highly doubt the Hus will give in.


Is Farm-Raised Tilapia Really Bad News?
News reports all over the internet have heralded a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association showing that farm-raised tilapia is very rich in the supposedly inflammatory "bad fat" we know as arachidonic acid or, for short, AA.
For example, NewsWise.Com carried a story entitled "Researchers Say Popular Fish Contains Potentially Dangerous Fatty Acid Combination" that reported the following:
They say their research revealed that farm-raised tilapia, as well as farmed catfish, "have several fatty acid characteristics that would generally be considered by the scientific community as detrimental." Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental long-chain omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger, doughnuts and even pork bacon, the article says.
Doughnuts and hamburgers -- really? I would never have thought to lump the two foods together, since one is a junk food made from refined flour and fried in hydrogenated vegetable oil and the other is a health food packed with all kinds of vitamins and minerals and healthy fats, but somehow the authors of this study managed to do so.
In the original report, the authors stated that a serving of pork bacon contains 191 mg of AA, a serving of ground beef contains 34 mg, and a doughnut contains 4 mg, referencing the latest release of the USDA nutrient database. Nevermind the fact that ground beef contains eight times more AA than their theoretical doughnut, revealing the latter to be a negligible source of this fatty acid, but this must have been one imaginative doughnut because the even the cream filling doughnuts listed in the USDA database seem to have only 1 mg of AA.
But let's move on to the crux of the matter.
I'm no advocate of fish farming, but my first reaction to this article was that maybe I should start eating tilapia. Those of you who have read my PUFA Report know I have a fairly high opinion of AA.
The current study did not take any measurements from wild tilapia, but found that farm-raised tilapia was relatively low in total fat, had a high proportion of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, and was unusually rich in AA and low in the omega-3 fatty acid EPA, yielding a very high ratio of AA to EPA, a supposed index of inflammatory potential. Farm-raised salmon and other species, by contrast, were much higher in total PUFA and EPA. Unfortunately, they did not measure DHA.
This, they say, is very bad. AA is a substrate for inflammatory compounds, which make it a contributor to heart disease and all kinds of other illnesses.
The news article points out in a single sentence that the editorial accompanying the report mentions the "controversy" about AA, but never quotes it. Let me quote it here:
Nevertheless, in this reviewer's opinion, evidence from relevant human studies that a higher consumption of arachidonic acid promotes atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease is quite weak, and the assertion that because a serving of tilapia contains more arachidonic acid than hamburger or bacon it has greater "inflammatory potential," is based on a potentially flawed conception of the physiological impact of dietary arachidonic acid.
Not only that, but, as I describe in my first PUFA Report, a deficiency of AA leads to low levels of sex hormones, hair loss, scaly skin, infertility, and, if the deficiency is moderate enough to allow ovulation and thus pregnancy, extended labor that is torturous and possibly fatal.
So, while it's true that many humans suffer from inflammatory diseases, it's also quite true that many humans suffer from hair loss, skin problems, infertility, and difficult labor. Could these, in some cases, be tied to a deficiency of arachidonic acid? The research from Harvard showing that the intake of milkfat is associated with increased fertility certainly suggests that this is the case.
And what of the high ratio of AA to EPA in farmed tilapia? I'm not concerned. As I pointed out in a recent newsletter, researchers at the University of Connecticut last year showed that low-carb dieters eating unlimited amounts of AA-rich foods like heavy cream had far better reductions in inflammatory markers than low-fat dieters. What's more, the reduction in inflammation was directly correlated to the AA-to-EPA ratio in the bloodstream!
As described in my PUFA Report, I suspect that EPA does not even belong in the mammalian body. Rather, the two fatty acids we want are AA and DHA. EPA is mostly present when the human body cannot keep up with processing the EPA from fish oils and the alpha-linolenic acid from plant oils into the DHA it needs. The UConn study found that the low-carb diet led to higher DHA levels and lower EPA levels, suggesting better conversion of the fatty acids on the diet.
I am not ready to advocate farmed tilapia. I would want to see the levels of other nutrients and how they compare to wild tialpia.
That said, if you suffer from hair loss or infertility or want to boost your testosterone or prepare for a pregnancy, while liver and egg yolks would be the best way to stock up on AA, we now know that a serving of tilapia here and there might help give you a boost as well.


After my second miscarriage, I decided to see an acupuncturist for a while and she recommended some diet changes that I think are beneficial to regulating hormones. Having said that, I think it’s important to note, that with everything there should be balance and the cycles I became pregnant with my successful pregnancies, I was eating well and following this as a guideline but I was also indulging in the little things I love too.
Here are the recommendations she made. They have made a huge difference in both my health and my husband’s health. When we’re eating like this we both feel a lot better.
|Foods to avoid or decrease as much as possible:||Foods to increase or add to your diet:|
|Processed foods, high in sugar, salt and saturated/transfats and chemicals.
Fried food and processed snacks.
Animal products that are not organic, or animals that are fed hormones or antibiotics.
Artificial sweeteners and any fake sugars, whether synthetic of natural.
Soy: Processed soy products such as Soy Milk and Tofu have overly-estrogenic side effects. Tempeh, miso soup and edemame are ok.
Caffeine: Coffee, Black Tea, Decaf Coffee or Tea. High quality organic, soy-free Chocolate is ok in moderate amounts.
Dairy: Avoid large amounts of processed dairy products, especially low fat or fat free dairy. According to the Harvard’s Nurses Study, which tracked 2,000 women trying to conceive and followed them through pregnancy outcome, full fat, unprocessed dairy products in moderation are better for women trying to conceive.
Wheat: Avoid regular consumption or large amounts of wheat or gluten.
Sugar: pastries, cakes, candy, cookies, sweet drinks and soda, canned foods with hidden sugar and restaurant food with sweet glazes, dressings and sauces.
Smoking and alcohol should be completely avoided when trying to conceive. If one must have a drink, moderation is key and limiting alcoholic beverages to fermented choices such as wine is a better choice.
|Lots of clean water in non-plastic containers or BPA-free plastic.
Whole natural and organic foods.
Small amounts of organic, grass-fed animal products that are organic and antibiotic and hormone free.
Small amounts of organic, full fat dairy. Goat cheese is often easier to digest. Small amounts of plain yogurt is beneficial for probiotics and fermented cultures. Yogurt with fruit or flavoring loses many of its beneficial properties. Adding fresh fruit immediately prior to serving is ok.
Seeds and nuts, especially raw
Dark leafy greens: swiss chard, spinach, kale, collard, beet greens etc. Dark leafy greens help alkalize, mineralize, calm, purify and aid in creating a healthy uterine lining. Greens both cooked and raw are also inti-inflammatory. Greens also help ground people, help with insomnia, clear constipation and clear skin, helping people feel better and more balanced on and emotional and energetic level.
Lots of veggies and fruits and berries! All organic.
Good and high quality protein: Avacado, olives of all colors, nuts, wild caught fish and organic, grass-fed animal protein.
Eggs: organic, hormone-free, cage-free and free range eggs. Fish eggs, quail eggs are also great for pre-conception care.
Fish and Seafood: oysters, fish eggs, salmon, halibut, trout, sardines, anchovies and any other small fish. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, anything from the sea is considered a “Kidney Tonic”. The Kidney system in TCM govern reproduction. Kidney tonics help replenish the adrenals, sex/steroidal hormones and reproductive system. Avoid larger fish such as Tuna which may have large amounts of mercury and eat wild caught when possible as farm raised fish has antibiotics, hormones, GMOs and pesticides.


- 1 package yeast
- 1 heaping teaspoon sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup scalded milk ( cool after scalding)
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup "butter" flavored Crisco
- ½ tsp salt

Add the yeast and 1 heaping teaspoon sugar to 1/2 cup warm water. Let set.
In the mixer, beat the 3 eggs until smooth. Pour into a separate bowl
Beat the sugar and Crisco until smooth and fluffy.
Add the beaten eggs, yeast mixture and the scalded milk. Mix this, but it will not be very smooth.
Add the dough one cup at a time. Add at least 4 cups, and add the last cup by hand. (We added 4 ½ cups, and used the extra for dusting the board.
Drizzle 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it over a couple of times and punching it down as you turn.
Wrap a towel around the bowl, covering the top and bottom and place in the warm oven.
Let raise for one hour
Punch down a couple of times. Return to the oven and let raise one hour longer.
The Finishing Touches
Put the softened apricots and the apricot jam in the blender and blend until chopped to pieces about ¼ inch.
Beat the ¼ cup melted butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Have lightly flowered surface ready. Cut dough in half. Recipe makes two braids. Roll gently to a 9x13 rectangle.
Brush generously with melted butter.
Put the filling down the middle of the dough. Use about one cup of filling. (See picture)
Cut the sides into 1 ½" strips, gently stretching each one toward you as you cut.
Criss cross the pieces to form a braid and pinch the ends. Brush generously on top and sides with melted butter.
Place on a cookie sheet and let raise for another hour.
Bake at 400 º for 5 minutes, then turn heat down to 375, and bake for 12-18 minutes longer . Watch carefully after 12 minutes.


With the recent recall on peanut butter I began to think about the dog treats I give my three dogs and thought that after the massive food recall last year, in which a few harmless sweet babies lost their lives, I was going to begin making only home made dog biscuits from now on. These three “babies” of mine are so much a part of my life, and they want their treats, so they will now get lovin' biscuits from my oven.
Here are a couple recipies I have tried and the dogs just love them!
2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons dry parsley
2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons honey
5-6 cups whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast into warm water. Stir in the parsley, garlic, broth, honey, and egg. Gradually blend in flour, adding enough to form stiff dough.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Shape the dough into a ball, and roll to 1/4-inch thick. Using small bone-shaped cookie cutters, make biscuits! Transfer to un-greased baking sheets, spacing them about 1/4 inch apart. Gather up the scraps, roll out again, and cut additional biscuits.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and turn over. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on both sides. Let cool overnight.
Buddy Boy Dog Biscuits
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup oats, rolled (raw) – quick cooking
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon sugar
Cut in 1/3 cup shortening until mix is coarse crumbs. Stir in 1 egg. Dissolve 1 tablespoon instant chicken or beef bouillon granules in 1/2 cup water. Stir liquid into flour mix with a fork. Form dough into a ball and knead on floured board for 5 minutes. Divide ball in half and roll each portion until ½ inch thick
Use a cookie cutter or shape biscuits. Put 6 on a plate and microwave at medium for 5 to 10 minutes or until firm and dry to touch. Turn biscuits over after ½ cooking time.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup honey
3 ¾ cups white flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Mix vegetable oil, shortening, and honey with eggs. Beat well. Add flour, soda and cream of tartar to honey mixture. Knead dough until mixed well. Shape dough by rounded teaspoons into balls. Mix the cornmeal and cinnamon together in a bowl and roll balls in mixture. Place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Press the balls down with a fork and bake for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool on a rack and then store in an airtight container.
TIP: After finishing baking all batches of biscuits, turn off the oven, then spread all the biscuits out on one baking sheet and set them in the oven to cool overnight. The extra time in the oven as it cools off helps make the treats crispier and crunchier.

I am 4 days away from the date that resulted in a loss of 4-5 feet of intestines. For the last month or so, I’ve been eating a jar or two of pickled beets per week. Sometimes, I eat a jar in one day. WHY?
I do not eat breakfast. I have water. I do not eat lunch during the week. I have water. If I feel like I will not survive, I will go to McDonald’s and get an oatmeal for lunch. That may happen once a month. During the week when I get home from work I have dinner with my family if my guts feel tame. If not, I have a banana, peanut butter and rice milk smoothie. I drink a lot of smoothies because my guts have been angry for 361 days.
On Saturday and Sunday, I have a cup of coffee. I know this angers the Crohn’s beast but I am miserable anyway. I sometimes will eat normal food too because I know I can stay in the house the entire weekend. It seems like my food intake combined with vitamin supplement would be enough but for some wicked reason, I crave pickled beets. Not only do I eat the beets, I drink the juice like it’s my job.
If I liked beets I would probably not write about it. What puzzles me most is that I do not like beets. I usually cough after drinking the juice because it takes my breath away. However, I feel like it is something I need to do. If I ignore this craving I can’t stop thinking about how it would just go away if I would eat the damn beets.


Using Retail Signs to Improve the Customer Experience
As consumer behaviour continues to shape the retail industry, it’s become increasingly apparent the way to gain influence with shoppers is to improve the customer experience. A recent article about luxury goods in the Australian Financial Review supports this but there’s no reason why the same principles can’t apply to grocery, discount and other CPG retailers, as well.
See it, feel it, buy it: the new customer experience describes an almost seismic shift in luxury retailing where consumers are heavily influenced by the shopping experience. In fact, many are no longer investing in a product but more interested in investing in the experience of shopping for the product. This is particular true with the Baby Boomer and Generation Y demographics. If you’ve passed by an Apple store in the last five years, you’ll see this trend in action. People go to the shop not just to select a product but to take classes, play games, have repairs made and chat to other shoppers about Apple products.
Improving the customer experience
So how can retailers improve the shopping experience? Free samples are rife in grocery stores but plenty more can be done. Inside Retail suggested one of the top trends in virtual merchandising for 2014 is going to be “Play with me signage”. As a result of placing in-store tablets in the aisles at bottle shops, Coca-Cola Amatil has seen a 40% increase in sales. Why? Shoppers use the tablets to find cocktail recipes provoking them to buy more products.
Effective use of store signs and tickets
Recipes are not limited to cocktails and the popularity of cooking shows on Australian television demonstrates consumers are game to try their hand at new things. While food producers have long packaged items for convenience, retailers could create signs to help shoppers figure out their own recipes, combinations and menu additions. It’s easy to create signs showing:
- Complimentary herbs and spices for specific meats
- Easy marinade recipes
- Stir-fry combinations, both vegetables and meat
- Food and beverage matching, expanding beyond wine to beer, cocktails and soft drinks
- Flour and grain combinations for home-baked bread
- Muesli ingredients
- Internal temperatures for cooking meat and poultry to order
- Ideal recipes for using up leftovers3-course menu suggestions
- Short videos showing cooking techniques
- Creative combinations for lunch boxes
- Tasting notes for things like coffee, chocolate and cheese
- Staff recommendations and favourites
These are just a few examples of how retailers can use signage to increase the value of each shopping cart. Even if you don’t have tablets or digital signs in your store, you can include a QR code on printed signs and tickets that will take the shopper to your website where they can find more information. With up to 80% of grocery shoppers using smart phones, you can print information on promotional signage that your customers can photograph.
Consumers are responding to an improved shopping experience. Your retail signs and tickets are an easy avenue to engage your shoppers and help them make their shopping more satisfying. By providing free information, suggestions, hints, tips and recipes, they’re more likely to fill their shopping cart and act on the inspiration you’ve provided. Call us if you'd like more ideas on how retail ticketing and signs can help your create a better experience for your shoppers.

A study at the University of Florida in 2006, demonstrated that Acai antioxidants could cause quicker demise, called apoptosis, of cancer cells (specifically leukemia) in vitro. The university published an article on their website, called “Brazilian berry destroys cancer cells in lab, UF study shows”. The article went on to say that the Brazilian berry that is popular in health food shops contains antioxidants that destroyed cultured human cancer cells. Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, this study demonstrated extracts from Acai berries triggered a self-destruct response in almost 86 percent of leukemia cells that were tested. Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences stresses the fact that Acai is one of the most plentiful fruit sources of antioxidants. Talcott also said. “This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made with the berries.”

Xian street foods, Ethiopian cafe’s, Indian Pizza parlors… Seattle’s got it all and these are my favorites!
FYI: These foods could be VERY adventurous depending on what you’re used to. Be ready to get out of your comfort zone and be surprised! These are loosely ordered in how frequently I visit, and I will continue to add and edit to this list! The COVID-19 pandemic may impact some of the info here.
- ⭐ = A special Seattle gem that I would bring a visiting friend to
- 🌶 = Food might be spicy, and cause (harmless) pain to your taste buds. Ask about spice level!
- 🥬 = vegetarian friendly!
- Xian noodles “Shee-on” (Seattle) ⭐🌶
- The BEST Chinese hand-cut noodle place in Seattle. I first went there with my coworker from Xian who insisted that I go with her because it was just like the food she had in her hometown. Can confirm — super good.
- Get their spicy lamb or beef biang-biang noodles, cold noodles (🥬 )are good too in the summer: these come with strong and garlicky sauce with thin wide noodles!
2. Cafe Selam (Seattle) ⭐🌶 🥬
- My absolute FAVORITE place for Ethiopian food
- Get their lamb tibs, meat combo, veggie combo (🥬). The stewed meat and veggies/salad are served on an injera (pancake sort of) and you eat by using injera to pick up the stewed food. AMAZING. A Seattle must-try.
- Ask for their fresh spicy green chili sauce — on side, for dipping.
3. Sandwich House Tres (Bellevue) ⭐ 🥬
- BEST Japanese sandwiches to-go, great for lunch take-out, to take on your weekend hike/picnic etc.
- My favorites are miso katsu (savory) and Exotic Japan (sweet)
4. Yang’s Kitchen (Bellevue) 🌶
- Sichuan Chinese food — SPICY. Good for take-out: you can cook your own rice to save money (they charge $2 for rice I think)
- Sliced fish in hot & spicy gravy, chow-mein (hand shaven noodles) with beef, Szechuan Crispy Chicken are what I normally get.
- If adventurous: fried pork intestines with peppers — DRY version
- Eat everything with rice — it will be SPICY unless they judge you to be spicy-intolerant…haha
5. So Tasty (Bellevue)
- This new place opened during the pandemic and has been my new go-to lunch place! My personal favorites are their spicy fried chicken, combo meat/rice plates, and roasted milk tea + pudding!
- Their website is easy to order from online, and when safe to do so, their restaurant space is very beautiful too! The plants and Chinese paintings really create a great ambiance!
6. Menya Musashi Tsukemen & Ramen 🌶
- My favorite ramen place of late. The pork slices in their ramen is so tender and flavorful! I usually get miso ramen (has pork in it) and then I add pork katsu if I feel like it! Adding pork katsu to dip in the ramen is my personal favorite.
7. Kanishka (Redmond)
- This place has the BEST garlic naan. And muttar paneer. And curries in general. Yum! Orders over $50 come with free delivery (in a certain radius) and I’m so down because I can eat their food for days.
8. Paseo (SoDo Seattle) ⭐
- Caribbean sandwiches. Their grilled onions are so juicy. I don’t remember what I usually get here but their sandwiches are truly tasty. Slightly messy, be ready to wash your hands afterward!
9. Pho Bac (Seattle) ⭐ *There is another Pho Bac in Rainier/South Seattle that is supposed to be more authentic*
- The only place I know where you can get pho with Chinese donut for dipping (Hanoi-style!)
- I always get Pho Dac Biet (“the everything pho”) with Chinese donut. You put basil leaves and fresh bean sprouts in the soup to let it cook, then dip Chinese Donut in it. Put some oyster sauce and sriracha 🌶 on a small plate, dip meat in the sauce (more traditional way). Some people put sauce in the pho — less traditional.
- EDIT: There is another Pho Bac in Rainier/South Seattle that my Vietnamese colleague will drive through snowy conditions for. According to her, the Rainier one is the most authentic pho you can find in Seattle.
10. Taj Palace (Bellevue) 🌶 🥬
- Best Indian food lunch buffet that I know of. Their fresh garlic naan is the best (free with lunch buffet). Be sure to ask for some! And dip in sweet tamarind (red) sauce and mint (green) sauce.
- Also decent for dinner: I like to get saag/palak paneer (Indian goat cheese, tofu-like texture), butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, goat curry, muttar paneer (peas and Indian cheese in curry with rice).
11. Cedars (U-district Seattle) 🌶 🥬
- Great Indian food in Seattle. Saag/Palak (spinach) paneer is my favorite, coupled with garlic naan: yum. Same as above for recommended dishes.
12. Chaat House, Dosa House — 100% Vegetarian (Bellevue) 🌶 🥬
- These are really similar: both vegetarian, with Indian snack foods.
- At Chaat house, I get a chaat (cold yogurt dish) with some other stuff (I really can’t remember the names sorry).
- At Dosa house, I get a dosa with some other stuff.
- This food should be super authentic because every time I go, I suspect that I’m the only person who’s not Indian/Indian American…I’m still figuring out what to order!
13. Huong Binh “hung bing” (International District Seattle) ⭐
- The best non-Pho Vietnamese food place I know of. Get the combo with everything (#11 Banh hoi thap cam). It’s a whole bunch of fragrant grilled meat with fresh herbs that you wrap with circular rice paper dipped in hot water
- Ask for rice paper, spin it in hot water (they’ll provide) until the whole thing has touched water. Stretch it out on a plate: now wrap meat, rice noodles and herbs in it and roll, dip in fish sauce, eat!
- Watch this video from 1:30 to see how to wrap: https://www.vickypham.com/blog/vietnamese-spring-rolls-goi-cuon
14. Tamarind Tree (International District Seattle) 🥬
- More Vietnamese food. Their Banh-Xeo “Bon-Say-Oh” appetizer, savory pancake) is pretty good. Grilled pork with lemon grass platter is pretty good, if you have a Vietnamese friend, they might have a better idea of what to order here.
15. Looking for Chai (Seattle, Bellevue locations)
- Authentic Taiwanese food: again, cook your own rice to save money. Chinese/Taiwanese dishes traditionally go with a bowl of white rice, unless it already has rice or noodles in it.
- Recommend fried chicken with special sauce, fried oyster mushroom with salted egg, mapo tofu, spicy garlic eggplant, lamb with green veggies (forgot what it’s called)
- More adventurous: salted egg with bittermelon.
16. Boiling Point (Seattle, Bellevue locations) 🌶
- Taiwanese personal hotpot — caution, not very kid-friendly in my opinion, very hot soup is present. Each person orders one hotpot
- I always get the Beef hotpot, mild spice level with rice. Sometimes I get it two days in a row!
- If you are VERY adventurous — get the House Special or Taiwanese spicy: you might be blown away by the unique flavor…or traumatized 🤷🏻♀
- Lunch comes with free black or green tea
17. Southgate Garden (Bellevue) 🌶
- General Korean food restaurant with KBBQ option
- I usually get LA galbi “L. A. kai-bee” (beef) or the Pork Tofu Soup (with rice, SPICY), seafood pancake (appetizer) to share.
- Comes with hot tea and many small dishes “banchan” — free refills. Service here can be *variable* when it comes to friendliness, but the food is always solid!
18. Top Gun Seafood Restaurant (Bellevue)
- Weekend only: Best cart-style dimsum on the East side. Servers push carts around, you ask them to give you desired dishes. Traditionally a brunch meal with family, always eaten with Jasmine tea. I come here a lot!
- Savory dishes: the siu-mai (pork), cha-shao-shu (sweet pork pastry), har-gow (shrimp dumpling), zha-liang (rice/Chinese donut roll), steamed tofu rolls, radish cake, football-shaped fried taro (hot inside beware).
- Sweets: egg tart, sesame balls, tofu flower(dou-fu-fa) with syrup, bo-luo-bao (pineapple bun).
19. Jade Garden (International district, Seattle)
- Same as above for recommendations. They also have late-night food (different menu). Get dim sum to-go, and eat at the little gazebo or tables at the park nearby during the COVID-19 pandemic.
20. Kau Kau “cow cow”
- Best Hong Kong-style BBQ: take-out usually. Usually comes with rice — that’s how you normally eat it. Cook your own veggies to make it a healthier meal! I usually get the classic barbecued pork, roasted duck,
21. So Moon Nan Jib (Federal Way) 🌶
- farther south but I make the trip at least twice a year because wow their bbq is good
- Need to go in a group if possible because their combos are best. Get the combo meal…comes with salads with unlimited refill. “Marinated” combo has more flavorful meat, but I suspect “fresh” combo has fresher meat, how much flavor is up to you (they’ll give you salt and sesame oil). Up to you.
22. Loxicha Authentic Oaxacan food (Seattle) ⭐
- the BEST tacos, taco stand only, no dine-in
- I usually order 4–5 tacos Al Pastor, Cabeza, Tripa, Pollo, Lengua are my favorite
23. Carmello’s tacos (Seattle)
- pretty solid tacos: al Pastor especially
- Same as above for recommendations
24. Din Tai Fung (Seattle, Bellevue)
- World famous buns/Taiwanese food. Google their history!
- Fancier, good for a nice date, a little pricier but not too bad ($$).
- Get the Pork Xiaolongbao, Shaomai, pork potstickers, Spicy wontons, beef noodles, fried rice, rice cake, a lot of good things here. Add some sautéed green veggies for a healthier meal!
- Dessert: taro xiaolongbao, sesame bun, or red bean Xiaolongbao.
25. Dough Zone (Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond)
- Most of the same foods as Din Tai Fung, about 70% of the cost
- Din Tai Fung is the most famous and best place for this genre of Chinese/Taiwanese food in my opinion but Dough Zone is a solid cheaper alternative. Dan Dan Noodles, xiao “sheeow” long bao, Q bao, shrimp and pork potstickers are decent, sweet and sour cucumber salad nice in the summer!
26. Little Sheep Hotpot 🌶 🥬
- Probably best on a cold winter day: Classic Chinese/Mongolian hotpot, one pot is shared between 2 or more people. You order raw ingredients to cook (by yourself) in fragrant broth of your choosing. I always get the split pot (spicy and non-spicy sides) and get beef, pork belly, lamb, fried tofu, king oyster mushroom, napa cabbage, spinach, and quail eggs to cook in it.
- Satay and sesame sauces for dipping
- Has “all you can eat” option for $25 — only do if you’re ravenously hungry.
27. Taqueria La Estacion (Burien)
- I’m still looking for a go-to Mexican restaurant. I realized there are many many places in Burien and I recently tried this one which was pretty good.
- It has birria (lamb stew) and pretty good tacos. Has many Mexico City -style items that I haven’t tried yet (pulque, michelada, etc)
28. Can Am Pizza (Redmond) ⭐ 🥬
- Indian pizza! Fusion of cuisines at its best. So good. I don’t remember what I got here in the past, but I remember a chicken one being super good. This is special place! They have non-Indian toppings too!
29. Bizzarro (Seattle) ⭐ 🥬
- Amazing pastas, “Forest floor” (the mushroom one) is amazing, also their Bolognese and caesar salad are great! And their bread. My Italian friend told me to go here. Great ambiance, special decor.
30. Santouka Ramen (Bellevue) 🌶
- Also a great ramen place. I get their kara miso ramen with gyoza combo and salad (for health). I get takoyaki (fried octopus) or karaage (fried chicken) for appetizers. Often busy, be ready to wait.
31. 8oz. Burger & Co (Seattle) ⭐
- Probably the best burgers in Seattle. Great milk shakes too. A little pricy, not terrible for Seattle though. Garlic fries are great.
- Second only to $5 Dick’s Drive-in burgers at 1am (arguably the true Seattle burger experience ⭐).
32. Thanh Vy 🌶
- My favorite place for Vietnamese sandwiches! I always get grilled prok sandwich with egg.
33. Bai Tong (Seattle, Redmond) 🌶
- I am still looking for a go-to Thai restaurant. This one is the best I’ve found so far! Please help me find more Thai places!
34. Salumi (Seattle)
- Lunch sandwiches are great, salads too. Recommend the salami sandwiches or the lamb sandwich!
35. Annapurna Cafe (Seattle)
- Per Google: “The traditional dishes of India, Nepal & Tibet are served in a colorful underground room with a bar.” The curry portions are a little on the small side in my opinion but quite flavorful and distinct. Each curry is a little different and not too heavy. A beloved place well-known in Capitol Hill, often has a short wait.
36. Dingfelder’s Delicatessen (Seattle)
- Their pastrami is so good. Also matzo balls. Also latkes. Disclaimer: I’m not that familiar with this type of cuisine, partly because there’s almost none in Seattle! A little more expensive than I expected, but in my opinion well worth it. Quality food.
DESSERT & DRINKS
I would really like to expand this part of my list…this is what I have so far! Hoping to discover beer, wine, cocktails eventually.
- Molly Moon Ice cream (Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle) ⭐
- The best ice cream. Better than Salt and Straw in my opinion (too sweet).
- Favorites are Sweet Cream paired with ANYTHING and their waffle cones are AMAZING: freshly made, warm, smell like…fragrant honey?
- Strawberry with balsamic vinegar topping if you’re adventurous. That was one of their iconic flavors.
- They do a 12 flavor flight too I believe! I have yet to try it!
- All their locations are in cute areas that are nice for walking around. Bellevue is next to Bellevue park, Redmond is next to Redmond park etc.
2. Happy Lemon Tea
- Best modern Chinese-style teas
- My favorite is Black tea with Rock Salt Crema. Have tried so many other places that serve the same thing, can’t compare. I recommend getting 30% sugar or less unless you have a serious sweet tooth. Matcha mango tea is good too. Their bubble waffles are a delicious snack too!
3. Meet Fresh (Seattle, Bellevue locations) ⭐
- Taiwanese desserts. Pretty authentic: you can get purple taro balls, golden yam balls, grass jelly, red bean soup…hot, cold, in all sorts of combinations!! Classically, in the summer you get the cold version, hot version in the winter.
- I like getting hot red bean soup with taro balls and yam balls or cold grass jelly+yam ball+taro ball combo. Cream added on top.
4. Black Ball (Seattle)
- Slightly cheaper, solid alternative to Meet Fresh. Same foods and recommendations!
5. Ellenos Yogurt (Pike Place Market Seattle) ⭐
- Their marionberry pie flavor: so good. Get fresh yogurt while walking around Pike Place Market!
6. Nana’s Green Tea (Seattle)
- Get the matcha (green tea) or hojicha (roasted green tea) ice cream and mochi (chewy rice balls) parfait. It’s about $10 so don’t let that catch you by surprise. Worth it all the way. Comes in a nice tall glass. They have a variety of other green tea goods but I always get the parfait! Much higher quality than less expensive counterpart Mako Green Tea in Westlake in my opinion!
7. Hood Famous Bakery (Seattle)
- Amazing cheesecakes with traditional Asian flavors: matcha (green tea) is my favorite
- Closed during COVID, can buy from Seattle Fish Guys: a fish market that helps distribute Hood Famous goods. They have good poke too!
8. Dochi (Tukwila)
Beautifully packaged tasty donuts, a bit pricy but great for special occasions! Airy and slightly chewy at the same time, these mochi donuts are pretty special! Great for sharing too — each donut can be easily broken into 8 bite-sized puffs. Yum!
9. Timeless Tea (Seattle, U district)
- Yellow milk tea: Questionable name, DELICIOUS drink. It has a roasted flavor which goes so well with pudding as a topping! Use reusable straws please :) Still haven’t even tried any other drinks yet! But if I can try one random drink and it’s amazing, it makes me super excited to try their other stuff!
Late night food
Not many options in Seattle, here are the ones I go to!
- Hong Kong Bistro (International District)
- Cantonese/Hong Kong-style food: My favorites: beef chow-fun, house special chow-mein, spicy pork lo-mein, garlic honey spare-ribs, cheese-rice, cheese/spaghetti.
- Open until 2am (?)
2. Tapioca Express (Bellevue)
- Chicken katsu curry is good (fried chicken with curry and rice). Has lots of Taiwanese snack foods: boba milk tea, fried popcorn chicken etc.
- Open until 12am (?)
3. Jade Garden (International District)
- Hong-kong style late night food: chow mein, pork lo-mein, similar to Hong Kong Bistro.
$$$$ Fancy fancy special date night food
- Canlis ⭐
- Probably the most famous and well-known fancy restaurant in Seattle. The only one with a view to match the food. See if you can request a table by the windows. This is the ultimate fancy Seattle restaurant experience.
2. Altura ⭐
- Been here once, great tasting menu. Fancy and tasty.
3. Adana ⭐
- Great tasting menu — Japanese-themed. The owner is Japanese American and I think he does a great job of capturing Japanese flavors in modern and classic forms. The dishes tasted very homey for me (grew up with a good amount of Japanese food).
4. Sushi Kashiba ⭐
- I’ve never actually been, but Chef Shiro was trained by legendary sushi chef Jiro, and my close friends and family swear it’s the absolute best authentic Japanese sushi experience. You may want to look up Omakase: the traditional sushi experience may be completely different from what you’re used to at your typical basic sushi place. In short: traditional sushi is lots of raw fish, and you’re not supposed to have any sauce with it because the chef already flavored it for you.
5. Space Needle Restaurant (Seattle) ⭐
- A special revolving restaurant experience. The food is okay, it’s all about the view. Try and time it so that you can see Seattle light-dark (sunset-past twilight, probably not summer because it gets fully dark at as late as 11pm).
Thanks for reading and please share food recommendations! Let’s keep our beloved restaurants open!

First of all, permit me to tell you that not all fats are bad, and conversely, not all when people good either. There are two types of good fats found in today’s foods: omega-3 and omega-6. Now you maybe are pondering what these fats own to do with reduction supplement.
The omega-3 fat commonly found in fishes, flax seeds, a few types of nuts (the ubiquitous groundnut is a good example), and hemp seed products. On the other hand, omega-6 fats are located in fast foods, processed fruit juices, sugary foods, soft drinks, etc.
Most people today have forgotten all regarding healthier omega-3 fats and focus on eating only foods that are rich in omega-6 excess fat. I don’t mean to mention that in order to lose weight, really should be eating only those foods that are rich in omega-3 relevance of. The key we have found not to prefer one kind of fat over another, for the reason that creates an imbalance.
Here are facts about omega-6 fats:
1.They make any body unhealthy: Studies have pointed out that that consume a high amount of omega-6 fats and low amount of omega-3 keep away from the likely to be prone to coronary diseases, high blood pressure, kidney and liver troubles, diabetes, high blood pressure, accessories. Premature death likewise not an online possibility.
2. They fats help you stressed and hungry: Just a little known fact about processed food is may make stressed and depressed. A recent study on rats showed that when these rats were given junk and fatty foods to eat, they became stressed and tended to consume more and junk foods.
However, when those same rats were served with foods high in omega-3 fats, they were very little stressed didn’t eat greater what they were served because the omega-3 fats made them full simply with the initial serving measurement.
Keep in your that leading to served in either instances contained the equivalent calories. This study on rats debunked the myth certain calorie is often a calorie, and proved soon after it in order to weight gain/weight loss, the quantity of calorie consumption matters very much as the source of those calories.
3. They fats create overweight: Omega-6 fats are also responsible for obesity. This became the final conclusion utilized by the study on rats I stated earlier. As you know, standard the rats were given junk foods to eat while at another time, they were served with foods rich in omega-3 fats; the foods served on occasions contained the equivalent calories.
However, tony horton created found out that once the rats ate the junk food rich in omega-6 fats, they gained a involving weight. It is only natural; as I told you earlier, omega-6 fats enhance rats troubled and improve their appetite.
In the end, I’d personally suggest you eat more of omega-3 fats and less of omega-6 can. However, please don’t focus on eating only omega-3 or only omega-6 fats. Both need to be able to eaten in balance because such, you’ll need be eating a high amount of foods rich in omega-3 fats and a low amount of Omega 3 Dha Vitamins-6-rich unhealthy food.
While fishes are with good omega-3 fats, you shouldn’t eat a great deal fish because apart from omega-3 fat oils, they also contain the poisonous mercury and Pcb. If you wish to acquire a omega-3 fatty acid supplement, check carefully the package label to be certain that that provides been completely detoxified almost all these toxins and poisonous ingredients prior to being packed.

If you did what Don Stull does, it might just put you off your feed, as the old farmers say. But you should be very glad he does it.
“We do things that help take all the bad things off food,” Stull said, simplifying an advanced technology that his company, MicroZap, Inc., has patented with Texas Tech University.
In the process of developing that technology, he said, he has learned a plethora of information about food safety and food security. His TED Talk will concentrate on food waste and the impact it has globally, as well as how it might be solved.
In the United States, alone, Stull said, 40 percent of all food is wasted due to spoilage and 76 million cases of food borne illness are reported each year.
“Think of all that waste,” he said. “There’s enough food in the world to feed all the people, but it spoils before we can get it there.”
Then there’s water.
“We send dehydrated meals to a country and they’re great, nutritious, and solve a lot of problems for many people,” Stull said. “But they grab water out of a stream or out of the tap … and they put water into that dehydrate mal that will kill you.”
It’s a problem of huge proportions, Stull said. “Not that many people really understand how big a problem this is. I want them to think about, how do we change this?
“If we didn’t throw away 40 percent of our own food in the United States, how many nations could we feed with that?” he said. “And every dollar we spend in water purification, there’s a $30 return in economic gain.”
Stull said he hopes to have his audience gain “an enhanced perspective” of the issue. And he joked, “When I first got into this, I lost 10 pounds because I was afraid to eat anything!
“I don’t think most Americans have a clue how serious it is,” he said, adding when most Americans are hungry, there’s a grocery story close or a fast food restaurant, so that most of them never think about people who live in areas where that simply is not the case.
“I want them to wonder, is there something I can do?”

Hammocking makes you hungry, so it’s important to be packing a snack in your hammock pocket. We like healthy snacks the best, which is why Skout Trailbars are one of our favorite things.
When you’re eating a Skout Trailbar, you know what you’re eating. Everything in a Skout Trailbar comes from nature, so organically simple that even your kids can read the list of ingredients on the back of the package. We like that.
In this day of factories and fabricated foods, we think it’s really important that people know where the things they are consuming come from. That’s why we’re also proud of where Color Cloud hammocks come from. We know it costs us more to pay a seamstress to tailor a hammock then it would to mass produce them in a factory, but we think creating something with care is worth it. We want Color Cloud hammocks to make the world a better place.
Get back to nature. Hang your hammock in a tree and eat a Skout bar. Your body and soul will thank you.
Disclaimer: We love Skout Trailbars (especially the cherry and blueberry flavors). However, no one besides the earth (which is better when we grow and eat organic food) is benefiting from this post. Make your life and the world better, eat healthy snacks and check out Skout.

Thank you for visiting L'Italiano Pizzeria Ristorante in Glasgow. We hope you enjoy our online ordering website and your food.
L'Italiano Pizzeria Ristorante was established on August 2020.
L'Italiano is bringing to lovely Glasgow folks totally unique and authentic PIZZA NAPOLETANA Different recipe!
Our recipe was born after careful research and selection of grains and flours, with the appropriate experiments. Thanks to our blend of flours, we will offer our customers very different, unique, easy digestible and fragrant product. The secret of an excellent pizza that has a high digestibility is certainly the fermentation / levitation process.
The levitation process starts from a fermentation of the dough at room temperature for 24 hours and then kept at controlled temperature for another 12 hours.
This 36-hour process makes our dough soft and digestible which then we garnish it with our high Italian quality products. Buon appetito!


Today is Andrew's 20th birthday and we got to celebrate with him by stuffing our faces with oh-so delicious Japanese food... Mhhmmmm
I surprised Drew with a super fun birthday cake made by yours truly.
I used to work with buttercream all the time but it was so messy and time consuming. In retrospect, I probably should have started this blog back then, so I could document all of my artsy cakes and whatnot.
Anyway, my first attempt at fondant was AWESOME!!!!
The recipe could not have been any easier-- melted mini marshmallows mixed with powdered sugar... Eh voila! I am officially a cake boss.
Rolling out the fondant was tricky and sticky. It was tough in my teeny kitchen, so I improvised and rolled it out on a cookie sheet, success!
Dying the fondant blue was also kind of difficult and it required a lot of effort. I was about to give up and just use marbled blue-ish white fondant. But in the end, I prevailed! Hooray!


With a deep rooted passion for finding beauty in all things, I look forward to working with you. On here, I share my work as a interior and home-design brand photographer, but also glimpses into life at The Cottage.

It’s been a staple for birthdays, showers, weddings, and my husband’s favorite treat.

This easy churro cupcakes with a hint of cinnamon recipe is the best addition to any party!
If you’re looking for an tasty cupcake, then this easy churro cupcake with a hint of cinnamon is for perfect for you! Add vanilla cream cheese frosting for the perfect finish!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in 2 - 12 count muffin tins.
In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Measure out the buttermilk and heavy cream in a measuring cup with pour spout. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar., Add the eggs - one at a time. Mix well after each addition. Once eggs have been added, add vanilla and cinnamon.
FOLLOW THESE NEXT STEPS CAREFULLY: Alternating with the flour and milk mixtures, add to the butter mixture. BEGIN and END with the flour mixture. Mix after each addition of flour or milk. After all has been added, scrape down sides of the bowl, then mix batter until just combined (3-4 turns of the mixture).
Pour a 1/4 cup of batter into each cupcake liner.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of each cupcake.
Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes or until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched!
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the cupcakes from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Place butter and cream cheese in mixing bowl. Combine WELL.
Add vanilla and butter extracts along with the cinnamon. Mix well.
SLOWLY, add the powdered sugar. If frosting is too thick, use a tablespoon of milk to make spreadable!
Bake churros according to package.
Cut baked churros in half.
Top cupcake with frosting and half of churro!


Since you’ve already read Taylor’s Origins post on Mai Tais—the first of our Mai Tai series—I don’t have to explain to you how Trader Vic’s Mai Tai recipe differs from the modern incarnation.
You already know that instead of using fruit juice, Vic started with orgeat syrup and curacao.
If you’ve gone out looking, however, you’d find that the vast majority of modern Mai Tais use the fruitier version, making Vic’s recipe difficult to find.
So it was almost pure luck that I had the pleasure of visiting “the nook” in Puck’s Alley.
An appropriately named bistro, this restaurant is hidden away in the back of Puck’s Alley, just off University Avenue.
Originally a brunch restaurant, The Nook only recently expanded to serving dinner (and dinner cocktails).
The restaurant itself is pretty small (make dinner reservations!), with indoor and outdoor seating.
All of their menu offerings seem local in both style and source—their ingredients are local and the dishes are heavily influenced by what’s available in Hawaii.
What initially drew me there was the cider: The Nook offers cider on tap created by Paradise Ciders, a local hard cider brewery (cidery?).
Once I spotted the Mai Tai on the cocktail menu, though, I knew what I had to do.
I’m a professional, after all, and there’s a certain measure of professional obligation I feel when visiting any establishment that serves alcoholic beverages.
Or maybe I just like to drink—you decide.
The Nook’s Mai Tai was especially enticing since it’s actually based on the original Trader Vic recipe.
The Nook’s Classic-ish Mai Tai:
Koloa Gold and Dark Rum, Grand Marnier, lime, orgeat, bruleed pineapple
The differences between Vic’s recipe and Nook’s take are minor—the addition of dark rum, Grand Marnier substituting curacao, a “bruleed” pineapple to garnish.
(For those as confused as I was, bruleed pineapple is just a typical pineapple wedge that’s been broiled to create a hard brown crust.)
Taking a sip of the classic-ish Mai Tai was, at first, strange.
Let’s back up for a second.
The vast majority of my prior experience with Mai Tais comes from Tiki bars around Waikiki.
As such, my expectation of what a Mai Tai tastes like generally involves fruity flavors, or at least something sweet.
The Mai Tai I drank at The Nook was not sweet, at least not obviously so.
The initial impression I got was that of citrus muddled with something I couldn’t quite place—it may have been orgeat or the mix of rum they used.
The cocktail wasn’t difficult to drink, though.
Rather, the blend of flavors was much more subtle than I expected, especially after having cheaper rum-and-fruit concoctions.
In fact, after a few minutes I could actually taste the pineapple and mint garnishes in my drink.
(The bruleed pineapple was quite good, by the way.)
I’ll have to try another of Vic’s Mai Tais to get a better impression of the drink since the first one caught me by surprise.
I wasn’t able to jot down any notes, either, since a series of mishaps in the week prior had led to me not having a phone with me that night.
This just means I’ll have to visit The Nook again, something I’ve no complaints about—I hear they also serve absinthe.
The featured photo for this post is used with permission from the nook’s official instagram. Check it out if for some mouth-watering pictures that’ll work up your appetite for brunch foods & delicious cocktails!

Have you ever noticed this label put on seafood products?
ACC-MSC-020This mark proves that... (select the correct answer);
a) this product is tasty
b) this product is nutritious
c) this product is from sustainable fishery
Yes, it may be tasty and nutritious, but the answer is c); this "Eco label" promises you that the seafood comes from the fishery that is environmentally friendly and responsibly managed.
Your choice makes a difference on marine environment
MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) is an international non-profit organization established to promote sustainable management of marine resources, and provides international standard for sustainable fishery. AMITA is Asia's first MSC certification body, providing certification and audit service to traders, retailers, or processors which wish to handle sustainable marine products.
The number of the products with this Eco label is surely increasing, however it is still rare to find them in Japan or many of other Asian countries. The situation is not the same in western countries. If you go to grocery stores, you will find this label on variety of products such as canned tuna, frozen crab cake, or smoked salmon. Consumers can make ethical choice there.
I visited London last year. It was such an exciting moment that I could have a lunch at the first MSC certified fish and chips restaurant in London completely by chance!
You can enjoy tasty and nutritious seafood as long as marine resources are responsibly managed. Your choice can make a difference.

When you have chickens, deviled eggs are always a super easy thing to take to a party or make when we're having people over. Last weekend I had what I thought was my own brilliant idea to use cream cheese instead of mayonnaise for the filling. So used used the yolks, 8 oz. of cream cheese, garlic salt pepper and 1 tablespoon of Old Bay. The centers ended up being much firmer and much easier to pipe out of a piping bag.
I then put the eggs in this great new carrier I got at Walmart.
After the weekend we went back home and I found these great http://www.loveofcooking.com/news/simply-deviled-eggs-5-new-recipes/ for deviled eggs that includes cream cheese as an ingredient. So it was a brilliant idea, just one I'd already seen in a magazine.

I love this place! My family and I order from them so often that I have them saved as a contact! Their staff is always friendly and the food is delicious. Please support this amazing restaurant!
We love Viet Pho! It’s a dream for anyone who is gluten free. We love the sesame and orange chicken dishes. The egg rolls are amazing!
This place is great. I go here at least once a month. The owner always remembers my wife and me. Even noticed when my wife received a haircut. Food is always great and meets my Gluten Free Allergy needs.
Great food! I really enjoyed their twist on a typical rice bowl where they replace the rice with a salad and top it with a nice layer of grilled meat. Their smoothies are a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but the fruit flavors are excellent. I had Lychee my first meal there and Passionfruit the next time. Staff is courteous and quick.
