This weekend I stumbled onto Vegetarian Bistro in Chinatown-I know it's called the International District (ID) now, but much like still calling Payless Volume and Macy's The Bon, I just cannot switch over. Plus "Chinatown" has a more retro exotic feeling. Anyways this place is all Vegan but for the fortune cookies and 2 of the deserts. I ordered a bamboo mushroom soup-the leftovers of which have lasted me for 2 days. The thin sliced green beans and bamboo shoots were amazingly fresh and a mystery ingredient which is sort of this fluffy translucent bubbly stuff (maybe tapioca???) made the soup really think and filling. A great cup of warmth for these premeture fall days in Seattle. Tried the sweet and sour chicken which is waaaay better then the heavy gluten blobs they serve at Bamboo Garden. Light and fluffy with just the right amount of grease. Dim Sum is offered as well. Yummy!
Next door is Sun Mae, an old shop with original merchandise from all the way back to the 60's. I regret not taking a snap shot of the front of the building just for the gorgeous pinkish red color Grabbed a few vintage smoking ad post-cards. I'll send them to friends or make a collage for the dark corner of my hallway that needs some jazzing up.
