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.

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.

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.
I just overate today and had a hard time moving around (ie. Couldn't burp and just wanted to be nearby a restroom). I should have stopped eating after my stuff tofu vermicelli bowl but had to drown myself in fresh avocado shake which made me wanted to scream for some antacids.
