Have you ever seen a menu on the iPad? Easier to change up the menu daily and patrons can even zoom in the food photos.
I first saw the iPad menu at Temazcal in Boston. Awesome menu!!

Have you ever had pasta for dessert? Aside from the Indian vermicelli payasam, I found chocolate pasta to be oh so good with a scoop of ice cream. Yum!
Are definitely FREE. I finally used my spa gift certificate which I received a few months ago during my birthday. Yey for experiential gifts! Hint for all those who'd like to send me gifts:)
My day spa came with lunch. I scheduled my massage just in time to eat after. Was totally happy when the waiter carrying my tray of food found me sun bathing at the terrace.
I had to stick to healthy living for lunch, except for the creme brulee.

I made a blunder while trying to squeeze to a table in the crowded French pastry shop, La Panier, at Pike's Place Market in Seattle. One of the little tartlets, the boysenberry, (background on photo) fortunately gracefully fell off the plate and landed on its butt- the pie crust, thank goodness.
Finally had a chance to visit Pike's Place in Seattle where I oggled on plump seafood. One of our pitstops for lunch was Jack's Fish Chip Spot. Upon perusing their menu, I settled for the clam chowder (no more cioppino for me) and crab cocktail while my friends tried the shrimp and fish with chips. The clam chowder was different from the San Francisco chowder since it was less dense and creamy. Amazed with the long line despite the fact that it is smacked in the middle of a wet market - i.e. big flies all around you while savoring your food :P

I know how much everyone is so much into bacon. Even though this post is about a popular donut shop in downtown Portland called Voodoo Doughnuts because, yes, they serve donuts in a form of a voodoo doll (!!), I will start it off with their donut topped with oozing goodness of fatty bacon.
If you are walking to the shop, you can see it from a mile with a long line outside and their sparkling brick wall is surely a showstopper - it blinds you especially when sunny. After perusing their choices of donuts in the window near the cashier, we finally made our pick turu2x (pointing) style.
I didn't find anything interesting about the ingredients in the donut itself. Not creamy like Krispy Kreme, yet the orange donut reminded me so much of Mister Donuts. It is just fun to gawk at these physically unique donuts in the pink box.

Circles, diagonals and squares always make a rather lucklaster food shine on photo. Here are some examples:

Omygawd! I crave for seafood laksa from time to time. I guess because I used to reward myself with one right after an exam while studying in Singapore. I clearly remember the smell at the hawker center, the warmness of the coconut spicy laksa in the tummy and the happiness after cleaning out the big bowl.
