Northern Thai, kale. $13

Again, this was another dish that I enjoyed the flavors from, but the salt level was astronomical! We could only eat a few bites before our tastebuds were shot.

Chipotle pad thai – Trove
Pork belly, yu choy, chili peanut. $13
Trove, Seattle WA
This tasted fine, but it was so far from a pad thai that it didn’t hit the spot and left me wanting more. This dish was also pretty salty like the previous dumplings. The pork belly and chili peanuts tasted good though.

Meh, I wasn’t too impressed with this laksa. It seemed a little watered down to me. I wish there was more depth of flavor and a kick to it.

$9.75

These green beans had a good flavor, but they were WAY too salty! They were even good nicely and still had a nice bite to them but that saltiness was distracting.

Oysters on the half shell – Betelnut Restaurant
Sriracha, lemon granita. Each $2.95

Yuck! The oysters didn’t taste fresh, they weren’t shucked cleanly, and the sriracha-lemon granita tasted horrible.

This tasted great! I loved the texture of the green beans and they were super flavorful. The service on the other hand left much to be desired. They were friendly enough but weren’t good at anticipating a diner’s needs. Boo!

I thought I would like this more. The gravy had a nice flavor, but the short rib was pretty tough and difficult to eat. The fried egg also looked pretty unappetizing.
