Pig Parade in Seattle

These photos were taken in 2007. Just wonder whether these pigs are still around or not.

090907 Sushi Buffet, Seattle

I receive complaint that my blog centres too much on foods, strange, why such complaint?

If one looks at the top caption, my blog theme actually revolves around foods.

So, this is another posting of my gluttony adventure.

Time: 5.30 pm

I remember the time because I was there a bit too early. The restaurant opens at 5.30 pm. Anywhere, I am not the first customers.

Can you see the name of the restaurant ?

The protagonists

Snow crabs + Alaska king crabs

Snow crabs - where is the body ?

Oyster, oyster

Chunky bite of sashimi

The proper way to eat cold crab is to dunk it in hot miso soup.

( Not recommended by the management - you know why ?)

I also receive comment that I should give rating for foods sampled. I find it hard to do so as the cliche says: "One man's meat is another man's poison."

090906 Fuchsias

I may have seen this plant before but some how I can not retrieve the image from my cerebral storage.

It is a plant truly created by universe where the flower resembles dancing ballerina. There are so many varieties that it is beyond the scope of my blog to show the plethora variation.

Anywhere, enjoy. Sorry for the tiny pictures posted here.

These flowers can be found in the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, Seattle.

This posting is actually incidental to my visit to M.C. Locks where you can watch the salmon migration.

2009-08-29 Mexican Dinner, Seattle

Eventhought it is approaching sunset time, parking charge is not spared.

The consensus for tonight dinner is Mexican Foods

This time, let the pictures tell a thousand words.

Boxing is the order of the meal.

2009-08-29 Chinese Dim Sum

A Dim Sum Eatery somewhere near the Amazon.com

Any clue ?

Just in case you like to patronise this place, please take note of the business hours

Menu of the day - we have selected one of the items listed -Make a guess , which one?

Simple Decor

This list of dim sum is provided for viewer to match the following pictures

" No prize is given at this junction as the internet advertisement generated is not suffiicient to consider this move."

This is a miniature ceiling replica of the one found in Sands, Las Vegas

( No need to match this picture, it is not on the list)

Is it a good dental practise to use toothpick after the meal?

What is your school of thought?

This dispenser is highly engineered to deliver one toothpick only once at a time.

Boxing of foods

To go

Take Away

which term to use ?

The aftermath of vicious gluttony action

If you don't like dim sum, another healthy alternative is the blackberry which is

ubiquitous in Seattle. At one time, the authority has to deploy goats to eradicate this rampant growth. This lady has contributed her civic responsibility by eating it in situ.
