Szechuan Chef

I think Szechuan Chef is overrated. I was really disappointed actually. The food was just average at best and they use MSG, which made me really thirsty after the meal. The service left much to be desired as well when they served us a dish we didn’t order and they refused to take it back. Oh well, I doubt I’ll go back again.

Homemade style brunch
Be prepared to wait awhile for seating. The service staff is friendly though. The place looks rather rundown but for the food and price I think that can be easily overlooked

2 egg breakfast
It comes with 2 eggs, a slice of ham, 2 slices of toast and a small cup of fruits. The fruits were really good as they were fresh. The servings were good too as I could finish everything. Quite rare for brunch places where they simply load your dishes with oily grub. This place was different. I would definetely come back again!

Tasty!
I’m skeptical about restaurants in redmond in general coz they’re the usual american burgers and fries fare. I’m also not too much of a mexican food fan so I was pleasantly surprised by this place.

Prawns Diabla
Haha, next time i know where to go to get my spicy food fix. This dish is FIERY! It’s prawns and mushrooms in some red curry sauce served with rice and tortillas. I skipped the tortillas and guacamole, and was still very stuffed from the meal. The prawns were fresh and had the right mix of spice that it leaves a burning feeling on your tongue and yet sooo addictive that you can’t stop eating. Ah…reminds me of the bbq seafood dishes we get in Singapore (guess that’s not mexican at all!), back home we would call this “shiok ah!”

Wann Japanese Izakaya

Stylish decor and stylish drinks
I was here for Happy Hour on a weekday. Btw, Happy Hour is all night long on Mondays! I liked the decor of the place (try to get the cozy booths on the elevated platform), but then it’s on stylish 2nd Ave downtown. They offer a pretty good selection of HH choices with some cocktails as well. I like it that you can substitute vodka for shochu in the cocktails, makes it a more authentic Japanese experience.

Potato wedges
How can you go wrong with fried potato wedges with seasoning? I wouldn’t order these here coz the portions are small as compared to having it at some American HH place.
-
Takoyaki
I must say their takoyaki is very good. Well, according to my friends, it’s the best in Seattle.
-
Cold tofu
Hm, i rather like this dish although some might find it tasteless. But the tofu is cold and soft, and you’re to eat it with some ginger sauce.
-
Chicken Karaage
This tastes like guiltless fried food indulgence. Mainly coz I don’t find it very oily although it’s still crispy and tasty.
-
Steamed Mussels
Ha, this is good value for money coz there’s lots of it. And the broth is oh-so-yummy!
-
Sashimi appetizer
This is expensive at $7. And coz it’s part of HH menu, I suspect they use less than fresh fish. Plus, the portions are puny.

Fried ika skewers
These are fried breaded cuttlefish on sticks. It was so hard I think I must have chipped my tooth getting it off the stick!

Vietnamese restaurant with nice ambience
Nice water feature at the front of the restaurant gives it a rather tropical feel. There’s also a nice al fresco dining area in the front. The menu here is extensive. A little too much for us to choose from. But that’s not really a complaint, just that I don’t know where to start. All in all, a thoroughly savoury fare.
-
Stuff squid appetizer
Tiny portion here, but oh so yummy. It’s stuffed with meat and mushrooms and bbqed on skewers.
-
Mango with lemongrass tofu salad
Julienned green mango mixed with peanut in spicy fish sauce. Topped with lemongrass marinated tofu. It’s perfect
-
Chicken ginger vodka
A rather simple dish with some chinese influence. Nothing spectacular.
-
Thịt kho trứng nước dừa ~ Braised pork coconut juice
This tastes a lot like chinese braised pork leg. And I don’t taste any coconut juice. It tastes good though, but food name is quite misleading.
-
Quatre homemade ice cream
Ice cream in four flavours of your choice. I chose durian, pandan leaf, sesame seed and roasted coconut. Nice.
-
Banana cake with glutinous rice
I’m not sure if I got the name correct. But this is served with warm coconut milk. Rather unique. Tastes really good surprisingly!

So apparently the chef here is some famous german chef. The menu is not just sausages and rostis though. The portions are good too. I also like it that they serve warm crusty bread instead of the cold ones you get elsewhere. the desserts are to DIE for!! I was quite disappointed with my entree but the ones my friends ordered looked very good. I can’t wait to go back again!

This is a small Vietnamese stall in the food court of Crossroads Mall. I think it’s better than a lot of the restaurants out there. I’ve tried several dishes here and it has never let me down!!

Awesome place for groups
After a meal with friends, the location makes it really convenient to go clubbing later without having to park again. The tapas here is fun to share with 4-5 people and a good selection of wine. This is the Sanjaya of tapas-style restaurants really. Highly recommended!

chicken and laab gai
It’s mixed minced meat which you wrap in individual lettuce leaves. Very refreshing and tasty

pear sorbet and candied lavender
i love the taste of lavendar in this sorbet.

seven spice shrimp
Ah! I lvoe the crispy shrimp heads!!
-
pork belly and kimchi
Soft and tender pork belly in kimchi sauce. The texture of the pork belly was very delicious, the only thing preventing an extra star was it’s not very authentic kimchi. But still some yummy sauce.
-
hanger steak and daikon/shiso
Oh man, I love the sauce for this. The texture of the beef with the sauce is just heavenly.
