Red Fin Sushi, a fun Dining Experience.

If you haven't try Red Fin Sushi, you oughta try it. They have delicious sushi and bento box on the weekend.

I got this amazing discount from Restaurant.com, where you can get $25 gift certificate for only $10. If you love eating out, but want to save some money, you should try to go to Restaurant.com, and there you can find many participating restaurants.

Something that we like over there is the Tarantula Sushi Roll, Ichi Roll, Barbie Roll, and their bento boxes (only available on the weekends). The place is very modern and really neat, located right besides Hotel Max in Downtown Seattle. Our Yelper describes, "The most striking aspect of Red Fin is the decor. Black and red colors in a rather streamlined minimalist approach. I wouldn't have expected anything else from a Seattle sushi bar. The seats had neat stitching and were rather plush... the ambiance was subdued." -Kiki M.

Red Fin Sushi is located at:
612 Stewart St (between 6th Ave & 7th Ave)
Seattle, WA 98101

April 2009 Best of the Best Restaurant in Seattle

According to Seattle's Best Restaurant, April 2009 Best of the Best Restaurant is:

PURPLE CAFE & WINE BAR


CUISINE: American (new) / Mediterranean
LOCATIONS: Seattle (financial district), Kirkland & Woodinville

A multifaceted food & wine concept that merges casual sophistication with an upbeat metropolitan style. Featuring a global wine selection coupled with a menu that blends classic American styles, seasonal northwest ingredients & Mediterranean themes. The atmosphere is often described as an urban retreat with rustic elements.

Purple Cafe & Wine Bar is a wine lovers dream! Offering wines flights from all around the world and the perfect food to pair. This is a great place to bring a date, impress clients or for group dining.

According to Foodette, from Restaurant Review World, "The atmosphere at Purple can be described as nothing short of swanky. Dim lighting, an upstairs lounge, and two stories of open wine storage really made the place feel hip."

Our Pick Yelper, Jennifer K says:

"We came here with a group twice in the last few months.
Loved the food, especially:
- the apple pear walnut & stilton salad
- butternut squash & prosciutto salad
- lobster baked mac & cheese
- butternut squash ravioli

Loved the atmosphere and it's great for groups. Ironically however I expected to be more impressed with the wine both times. Once I ordered a flight of Pinot Noir, and another time we ordered a bottle of a cabernet & merlot blend (can't remember the name since this was the visit from months ago). The wines were good, but they didn't knock my socks off. Oh well, I still love this place and I'll be back to try out more food and wine.

Check out Mondays for half price on certain bottles of wine."

Obama's Blend

Dear Diary,

I came across Obama's Coffee Blend the other day- I didn't buy anything, but it was very tempting. I was walking down Pike street in Downtown Seattle and First Ave.



Next time around I walk by and see this sign, I will stop by and try Obama's Blend by Seattle Local Coffee shop :) ...

Trip to the EMP- Experience Music Project!

For those who loves music, probably you want to visit the Experience Music Project (EMP). My trip was a blast to the EMP, only it was way too pack, and I felt so jammed over there, please don't go there on a free Museum Day! You'll know what I mean. You can get coupons buy one admission get one free from many tourist brochure stands, or entertainment coupon book.


The coolest thing about EMP is their building. According to the description that I read somewhere, the architecture for that building is Frank Gehry. The building was built in 2000, with the concept shape of a smashed electric guitar. From the outside, the material is truly amazing. I love how the materials reflect everything that surrounds it.


One of EMP's popular collections is Jimi Hendrix permanent collection. It's definitely worth to see. For those who don't know Jimi Hendrix, he's a famous American guitarist and songwriter in the 60s. Unfortunately, we lost this talented man too early. He was only 27 years old when he died.


One thing that I truly treasured when I visited this place was the music activities room. As visitors you get to try all kinds of different music instruments, bass guitar, piano, drum, even vocals. AWESOME experience! They even have the recording room, which amazed me.

Another fun activity over there is that you can take a picture of you and your family on a stage- pretending to be in a band, and sing...

EMP connected with Science Fiction Museum, which unfortunately I didn't get a chance to go there at all. See the great thing about it is that you get to go to the Science Fiction Museum when you buy EMP Admission ticket. So it's like getting two things for one deal. IT's Great!

Admission Ticket for EMP : $15

They also offer FREE ADMISSION every First thursday evening of every month from 5pm-8pm.
