A Little Thai for One of the Last Times!

If you attend the University of Washington, you very well know that University Avenue is home to MANY Thai restaurants.

Although I did attend school there for 4 years, I must say I have not been to every single restaurant in town. For one of the last times that I will ever eat on the Ave, I tried a new Thai restaurant, Banana Leaf Cafe, which believe it or not has a happy hour!


Banana Leaf Cafe is located on University Ave. and 40th.

From 4p.m. to 7p.m., Monday through Friday enjoy some of your Thai favorites for $5 to $8. The only catch is that it is cash only.



I had the Phad Thai, which I typically get and it was a ton of food! I took some home with me after only being able to conquer about half the plate, and after filling my to-go box, still had to leave some behind.

I would definitely recommend Banana Leaf Cafe to anyone looking for a cheap, fast bite!

Citrus Splash in Edmonds!

It has been oh so long since I have blogged! I must rave about a local place that I went to for the first time just over a month ago. Five Bistro in Edmonds is the perfect combination of sophistication and class with its unique ambiance, complete with rustic furniture and refurbished decor.


I had to take a picture of their cute water bottles, served out of old white wine bottles with the number 5 printed on the side.



Although my friends and I didn't go to Five for Happy Hour. I have to rave about their Greyhound. Made with fresh juice from half a grapefruit, it was a refreshing way to start my meal.

For dinner, I had the Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, organic arugula, grape tomato and garlic olive oil pizza and yes, it was just as good as it sounds.

Although the weather wasn't nice on that particular day, they had a great looking back patio with couch seating and heat lamps. I think it will be calling my name later in the summer!
