Dough Zone
We were recommended to try Dough Zone for dim sum in Seattle Chinatown - our regular place there is Harbor City (followed by Fuji Bakery.)
It was crowded, and there was a wait, but they had a good queue system and the food was quite good. A very popular place.
One cautionary note - make sure you scan the right Q-code if you park in the parking lot. One is for the street parking only.

a 1977 proposal for a sculpture by George Tsutakawa looks like a New Yorker cartoon in search of a caption.
I walked by the sculpture today and there was a junkie nodding off on it so here is someone else's photo of Heaven, Man, Earth in situ.

Ruta 30 Día 4: Chinatown, Underground Tour, Waterfall Garden Park & Myrtle Edwards Park
Había llegado el último día del viaje y ya teníamos un tour reservado para este día. Decidimos desayunar algo rápido y nos fuimos a un McDonald’s a comprar un sándwich y luego a Starbucks a comprar chocolate caliente. Aprovechando que había madrugado, tras el desayuno me fui a ver uno de los edificios de la ciudad que me faltaba. Caminé cerca de diez minutos hasta que llegué a la Biblioteca…

❆ SEATTLE (ep32): Pretty bowls
I’m not sure if this was a separate store or if it was like a part of the Uwajimaya supermarket, but there was a space ‘after’ the check out lanes in the supermarket that had a bunch of kitchenware, cosmetics, & other small home goods like air fresheners & bathroom supplies. I think it’s a diff store but I’m not certain!
Anyway, after lunch, DL & I had to go back thru the supermarket to exit the complex (to take the subway) to go to our next destination. We decided to stop by to check out this sub-store.
Various pans & steaming equipment.
Other kitchen things like utensils, cloths, kettles, etc. .. their main thing were kitchenwares like bowls & pans, not so much appliances but they have some!
Here’s their section for the non-kitchen stuff, which like I said, includes cosmetics & mainly bathroom supplies like soaps, some laundry nets, air fresheners, cleaning supplies, etc.
Despite having a lot of products, I was mostly interested in their bowls lol surprisingly, not the mugs bcos y’all know I’m into mugs & cups. I don’t know why; their selection of cups/mugs just wasn’t as good as the bowls, I guess.
So pretty~ I took some pictures of my favourite ones! (Momentarily, I had considered buying one but. .. I did not)
Bowl no.1 - I love the lines along the curvature of the bowls. The center looked kinda messy to me but I guess that’s the part that makes it appealing.
Bowl no.2 - swirrrrrrrl~ I liked the black rim.
Bowl no.3 - this bowl, in particular, reminded me of Korean celadon. It’s that light blue/aqua colour. But the tan/beige complements it so well & it looks like an ancient celadon piece. You know what I’m saying? It’s like fresh dust upon retrieval of the ware.
Bowl no.4 - the little specks are on point.
So yeah, I hope you enjoyed this short post!

Visiting Seattle Chinatown and a Capital One Café
First of all, I went to Seattle again this weekend to meet up with a fellow Smith alum (my first-year roommate) for dinner in Chinatown. We spent time in a local park catching up and then grabbed dinner at Fortune Garden. I ordered the shredded chicken with Chinese cabbage vermicelli. I was very pleased with this choice as it was quite tasty and reasonably affordable given that I got to go home with a lot of leftovers.
While dinner and our visit were great, getting back to Redmond was once again quite a pain. The problem this week was that my 7:50 bus didn’t show and neither did the one scheduled for 8:21. The next one wasn’t for another hour, but I was of course skeptical that it would ultimately arrive. While there were some alternate routes with multiple transfers, I ultimately split an Uber with three other folks who were also stuck at the bus stop. However, this only got me to downtown Redmond so it was a bunch more walking and another bus for me. After this whole ordeal, I was exhausted and didn’t make it back to my apartment until 10:15. While one could read these experiences as a reason to live in Seattle instead of Redmond, in reality, they validate my decision to live in Remond because it’s just so much cleaner and safer here. The photo below is the sunset view from the bus stop. And for those who don’t know, Lumen Field is where among other things the Seahawks (football) and OL Reign (women’s soccer) play. As an intern last summer I got the chance to watch the OL Reign in their Pride match which was a lot of fun!
Earlier today, I also got the chance to visit my first Capital One Café. I’ve been meaning to check it out for a few weeks as I’ve been curious about them for a while and there’s one in Bellevue Washington. I decided to go on my way to Seattle to get out of my apartment earlier, deposit some cash, get a cold drink, and just generally check out the space. I ordered the hibiscus spritz which in addition to looking super cool also tasted amazing. Seriously though, it was one of the best summer drinks I’ve had and quite affordable with the 50% discount on the handcrafted drinks for a Capital One card holder. Overall, I had a great experience and honestly wish I’d budgeted a bit more time there and in Bellevue more generally.
And yes, Capital One is primarily an online bank. While I do have accounts and credit cards across several different banks and credit unions to maximize interest and cashback earned as well as other benefits and don’t have a primary bank per se, I will say that across the board Capital One has really solid banking products. I hope to analyze and write about this a bit more, but I think that if I were forced to have only one bank Capital One would be a top contender.
