Review: 99 Chicken and Retrospecticus – KFC
Other people spend New Year’s partying…or recovering from partying. I, on the other hand, am clearing a back log of posts.
So! Korean fried chicken – from here on out known as KFC.
The first time I had KFC was in New York. I had seen an article in the NYT about the craze and so when I planned spring break in NYC in 2007, I was determined to go. It was another first too because I had been a fan of Robyn, otherwise known in the internet world as “The Girl Who Ate Everything” for several months and had gotten up the courage to email her and ask her to go fooding with me. Robyn, Lillie, & I went to Bon Chon Chicken in Manhattan and I liked the chicken a lot – just not the pulsating club music from the giant speaker next to my head.
The next time I had it was quite some time later at OB Chicken Town on Telegraph at the Berkeley-Oakland border. I really liked the garlic honey marinated KFC there, and took many people there to try KFC for the first time. Even though it’s practically a shack, I still really like the food there. The fact that they have yogurt soju is a bonus!
I was really excited when Garrpaccio organized a dinner at 99 Chicken last week. We got the last empty table in the restaurant which was great considering the crowds that began queuing up soon after. We enjoyed two orders of the regular fried chicken, an order of Love Wings, as much for the name as anything else *cough Wenza Bronica cough*, some regular wings, Hot & Spicy chicken, and the Sauce chicken. The salad is free, and the walls are papered with photos of people enjoying their KFC. It’s definitely a fun place for a group.
The regular fried chicken is really juicy but I felt that the batter wasn’t seasoned enough. I really liked the chicken wings though. The regular chicken wings aren’t battered, just fried, and I preferred the battered ones.
This was definitely spicy, way too spicy for me, and the opinion of the people who do like spicy food is that you’d have to like Tabasco to like the sauce on the Hot & Spicy chicken. I managed to finish one piece but I was tearing, needed several napkins to blow my nose, and had to alternate bites with regular chicken to cool my mouth. I don’t know why I didn’t just stop eating it, but I guess I was determined. (Or stupid.) The “Love Wings” that showed up later were much the same, so I didn’t try them. Last but not least the Sauce chicken. I was hoping it would be like the garlic & honey marinated chicken I love at OB Chicken town but these chicken pieces were smothered in a tangy red sauce (not sweet & sour, no idea what it was) and had chopped peanuts sprinkled on top. I guess that helps differentiate from the hot chicken, that had sesame seeds on it. The six plates of chicken were a bit much for the seven of us. Five would probably have been more than enough, but it was fun to try all the flavors.

Once again I feel the need to mention that I usually ask people to choose their own pseudonyms…which is why they run the gamut from Madeline to Zombie Hunter.
Overall Impressions?
Food 3.5 Korean fried chicken! That means thin crispy batter – not heavy crusty breading. I thought that many of the flavors were one note though.
Ambiance 4 It’s cute. Lots of orange. It was fun to look at the pictures, and if you’re a local, it’s very likely you’ll recognize someone on the board.
Why I’d go back? KFC! Also, unlike my favorite KFC joint in Berkeley, this one is situated in between where my local friends live so it’s a lot easier to meet at.

Thanksgiving!
Wednesday night Fisher, Em, & I went to dinner at Applebee’s (it’s cheap and it’s close) and then to watch Quantum of Solace. I really liked it. I think Daniel Craig is a good Bond, and he looks great in all those sharp suits they stick him in. I didn’t think the Bond girl was pretty based on the cardboard cutout in the lobby (it made her nose look twice as big!) but she’s so gorgeous in the movie. I don’t really understand why they had a Russian actress play a Bolivian girl but she was good, so that worked out.
We headed to Campbell’s house for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday afternoon. His parents made two fabulous turkeys (one barbecued and one roasted) and there was so much good food. We had the famous “Soup Family Sour Beans” which are green beans slow cooked with vinegar and bacon. MMM. After dinner we continued Fisher’s Bond education and watched Dr. No. Em & I catnapped (okay fine, I’m just narcoleptic) in preparation for our midnight expedition.
We decided to go to the midnight outlet mall sales because we heard about some potentially great deals. Now on the other side of the day I don’t know if I would go back, because it was insane. But I don’t have buyer’s remorse, so there’s that. There were a lot of lines and the crowds were huge. We got home at 4:30. The last time I stayed out that late it was after QK’s wedding. The Seattle Premium Outlets are really nice, and there are some really good name stores there. I’d go back! (well, I would, if I had any money left.)

OHHHHH CANNNAAADDAAAAAA
I have a bunch of family in Canada. My mom has four siblings and three of them live in the Vancouver area. My grandparents lived there until they passed away. When I knew I’d be coming up to Tacoma I planned to visit my aunts and uncles because I haven’t been there since my grandfather died. Fisher & Campbell were game to visit the great NORTH so we drove up on Friday night after work. There were a lot of emails between my aunts, uncle, and myself. Suffice to say that there was a lot of back & forth for what ended up being 1 overnight visit and half a day.
The drive up wasn’t too bad but I…don’t handle the questioning well. The 19 year old working the border booth fixed me with her steely gaze and I fell to pieces. She wanted to know what our jobs were, where we lived, why my car had California plates, what we did before school, what we did during school, etc. She scanned all our passports, and then made us pull over for a background check. THAT was fun. I made some jokes about racial profiling because everyone waiting around in there besides Fisher & Campbell were Asian. Although, um, racial profiling isn’t funny. I tell bad jokes, okay? We were finally set free with no explanation as to why we were stopped.
We pricelined (BIG SURPRISE RIGHT? I pink puffy <3 Priceline) the downtown Vancouver Hyatt for $75/night. Yeaaaa baby. Our room was on the 23rd floor and overlooked a lot of office buildings. The beds were awesome! My only peeves were that they didn’t have free wifi and the shower was weird (came out of the ceiling, no way to adjust it at all).
We checked into the room and then walked over to Robson street to explore the city a little. Campbell led us to a bar he’d remembered from a previous visit and we enjoyed some peach bellinis. MMMM delicious. We hung out there a little longer and they had some beer, but then the bar closed.
Twee little plastic animals from the drinks
We all slept in the next day and then took a walk through Vancouver to the hockey arena so Campbell could try and get tickets for that night’s game. Here’s a hint: Don’t try to buy tickets for a same night hockey game in Canada unless you have $$$. We actually tried to get tickets when they went on sale but I forgot and when I checked the next day they were sold out. I liked Vancouver a lot! It reminded me of Chicago – another big “little” city that I liked.
I spent Saturday night and half of Sunday with my relatives, and met some for the first time – my first cousins once removed. I had to look up the relationship on wikipedia. The nicest thing about being there is getting to hear a lot of my family dialect. All of my cousins on both sides are more fluent than I am because that’s what their families speak. My parents obviously speak it too, but since they focused more on Mandarin and I went to Chinese school for 432789424 years (11), my Mandarin is tolerable and my Fukienese is laughable. I kept accidentally ignoring my aunt when she talked to me because I thought she was talking to my uncle, and then I could only respond in English. I can understand it all, I just can’t connect the synapses to respond coherently. But hearing it reminds me of family and good memories so I like to be around it. I ::ahem:: even followed people for a little while around Costco a couple weeks ago just to hear it. I spent some time with my little cousins who have no memory of me and they’re pretty much all grown up so that means I’m OLD. My aunt cooked a great Asian dinner for me and my uncle and other aunt took me for dim sum (<3) so my Asian food cravings were met. My uncle even bought me a bunch of Chinese buns to take home, and my aunts all gave me assorted Asian snacks (dried mango, dried squid?, chocolate, mantou, and fried peanut dumplings.)
I picked up the guys and we headed back. It took us almost 2 hours to cross the border. In a fit of panic I decided that we might not be able to take the bread across (filled with meat? I think my aunt mentioned something about rules changing.) so we ate most of it in the car. Here’s a picture of the arch at the border.
It was fun.

Review: Marcia’s Silver Spoon Cafe
OMG. Washington is truly the land of giant pancakes. Sherry, Terry, Kat, Em & I were summarily defeated today by some seriously huge plates of food.
Terry & Sherry
Kat, Em, & Me
I found this place on Yelp since I knew our visitors would be game for brunch. We stayed up late after the NKOTB concert (future post) but still managed to get up and out of the house a little past 10.
I had biscuits & sausage gravy, a poached egg medium, hash browns, and a ham steak. The ham steak took up an entire normal dinner plate. I managed to eat the biscuits, 1/2 of the potatoes, the egg, and 1/3 of the ham.
Sherry & Terry shared the kid’s order of biscuits & gravy along with the country fried steak which came with eggs (they had over easy) and 2 pancakes on the side (requested instead of toast, I think it was extra charge). They got through most of the biscuits, the eggs, half of the pancakes, and most of the steak.
Kat ordered the 2 pancake breakfast with eggs & sausage links. She finished half of her pancakes, half of her eggs, and half of the sausage links.
Single 10
Madeline was extremely…brave. She ordered the scramble special and a single pancake on the side. The waiter was so impressed that he told a regular at the counter to wait around to see the expression on her face when he brought the food out. It was a GIANT mound of hash browns, eggs, peppers, onions, ham, bacon, tomatoes, cheese, and green onions. I took before & after shots. She definitely made a hole in the pile, but I think the five of us could easily have been full off that one dish plus one order of pancakes. Talk about ridiculously large portions!
Overall impressions?
food: 4 Great simple diner food. Hash browns could be more browned (a lot of plain shredded potato on the middle), and everything could use a sprinkle of salt & pepper, but the biscuits & gravy were tasty.
ambience: Hole in the wall diner! Clean tables and booths…what more can you ask for?
why I’d go back: To try more brunch stuff and see the expression on Campbell or Fisher’s faces when the giant platters land on the table. It’s really food for three meals on one plate.

Veteran’s Day
The original plan was to go to the Jason Mraz concert on 11/10, then sleep over at Alex & Alexa’s since Alexa & I both had Veteran’s Day off. Unfortunately, the concert was sold out. New plan!
We ended up at the Southcenter mall in Tukwila, which is a huge mall that is also surrounded by massive shopping centers. Seriously, everything you could want is there, including Target, Ulta, Ross, Nordstrom Rack, DSW, etc. Neither of us had actually been to the mall before, although I did visit some of the stores around there with Laimelien a few weeks ago. The bonus is that it’s pretty much in the middle between us so neither of us had to drive very far.
I took Alexa to Sushiland where we had a ridiculously cheap (but decent!) lunch that came in under $20 for both of us. UNHEARD OF. Then I made her go watch a movie with me, and then we shopped, and had our brows done. This afternoon of fun was capped off with dinner at CPK after we realized getting on the freeway right then would mean hours of traffic. NO FUN. So, dinner! I’m glad we had another day to hang out before I leave here…

Review: Le Panier
I thought I had exhausted Pike’s Place from the half dozen trips I’ve made there since we got here, but I was very wrong. There are still more undiscovered delicious things there!
I can’t remember what brought us into Le Panier but I’m so glad we went in. At first glance it’s merely a buzzing, busy cafe with crowded tables and long cases of pastries. A closer look shows beautiful croissants, brioche, BREAD, and macarons! I haven’t had a macaron since a disastrous batch Amadeus & I made in Oakland, and I haven’t had any good bread since leaving the Bay Area. La Farine…oh how I miss you and the rustic baguette…
I bought three different macarons: orange with chocolate ganache, pistachio, & vanilla. The filling to cookie ratio was excellent, and the macaron shells were crisp and light while the fillings weren’t too runny and weren’t too sweet. Macarons are magical.
I also bought a brie sandwich so I could test the baguettes. It was…oh…just so delicious. After the first bite through the crisp crust, tender innards, and soft cheese; I knew I had found bread in Seattle that was finally comparable to La Farine at home (my favorite, obvs). I went back the next morning with BB, GP, & F and bought half a dozen baguettes to take home and freeze.
Vanilla macaron
Orange & chocolate macaron
Pistachio macaron
Brie sandwich
Overall impressions?
food: 4 because I haven’t tried any of the other pastries or breads yet. I am picky about these things.
ambience: 3.5 It gets crazy busy in there and with other people right behind you it’s hard to savor the decision. I felt very rushed and a little claustrophobic. It’s got to be close to a fire code violation to have all those people in there. But, there are a lot of beautiful baked goods in there.
why I’d go back: GREAT bread. But…50 miles away. Believe me, if I’m back near Pike Place I’ll definitely stop by. Unfortunately, I didn’t find this place until my last trip there.

Review: Wild Orchid
I really wanted to take Wenza Bronica to Old Milwaukee Cafe for brunch when she was here, but we got there right when the last table was taken (and by a young dad and his toddler, whom we’d actually seen just ahead of us on the street and totally could have run in front of…except. dad + kid) and they were closing five minutes later. So. We went across the street to Wild Orchid, a Thai restaurant Em mentioned had good reviews on Yelp. We were hungry and it was late and the restaurant was both close AND open.
Here is something I didn’t like about the menu. It listed the nutritional information for each dish. This didn’t make sense to me for a few reasons:
1) It’s a Thai restaurant – home of coconut milk curries and fried noodles. Do you REALLY want people to know how bad it is?
2) These were family sized dishes, so it was a little scary at first reading that the dish I was looking at had 1200 calories and 4000 mg of sodium, etc.
3) If you’re going to do it, why not do it just for some single person entrees?
Anyway, we started with a diet Coke (this should surprise approximately…none of you) and WB ordered a Thai iced tea.
We got crab rangoon because I felt nostalgic. I haven’t had it in approximately 15 years. This version was too sweet for my taste, and used a different wrapper than won ton skins so it was even sweeter.
I ordered pad see ew, but it was only okay. There wasn’t enough wok flavor, and too much soy sauce. Also…red pepper flakes? Is this a Thai restaurant or a pizza?
WB ordered a noodle dish with a peanut based sauce and stir fried beef and vegetables.
Overall impressions?
food: 3.5 It tasted…all right. A little too greasy and I’ve had much better noodles. Also, a little $$.
ambience: 4 It’s a tablecloth restaurant with the requisite Thai interior decorations – elephants, screens, statues, etc.
why I’d go back: I…wouldn’t. I’ll be back in the Bay Area soon enough and you better believe I’ll be at Lucky House Thai before the new year.

Review: Famous Dave’s BBQ
Ok, so there were many things going against this place from the beginning.
1) It’s a chain. I tend to believe that most chains don’t do great food. And those that do are only great at a few dishes.
2) It was super crowded and we had to wait quite a while. When it’s a crowded chain, I tend to think it’s due to people not knowing any better. (I KNOW! I’m a snob about it)
3) Our silverware was sticky.
4) It’s a chain serving bbq, something I thought was best left to independent experts, not mass-produced.
BUT. I loved it! We were originally supposed to go to The Rock, a wood fired pizza place in Tacoma. Unfortunately, when we pulled up last night, The Rock was being remodeled. We roamed downtown Tacoma for a little while, briefly considered going to Katie Downs again, but decided to head back south when Em remembered that she’d always wanted to try Famous Dave’s BBQ. I didn’t mind the wait much because there were about 12 TVs just in the foyer and bar alone – all tuned to the Texas-Texas Tech game. That was a RIDICULOUS game. Awesome drama! We also passed some of the time reading the menu and choosing what we wanted. Most of the platters at Famous Dave’s include cornbread, corn, AND choice of two sides. Madeline & I liked having so many options! We all wanted the smokehouse flank steak, but I got ribs as my other choice, while Em & Fisher chose bbq chicken. They also have pulled pork, brisket, catfish, roasted chicken, wings, and riblets.
We ordered as fast as we could after we finally got a table, and by that time Em was so hungry she decided to sample all the bbq sauces. They have five different types and ketchup sitting in a carafe on the table so you can squeeze as much as you want on the meat.
Fisher passed the time with a giant margarita that he said was quite strong. I stole a sip and completely agree. That’d be two drinks for me.
Excited to eat!
Smokehouse steak, St. Louis ribs, mac & cheese, & fries
I really liked the sides here. The fries were particularly good – not greasy and very crunchy. The mac & cheese was similar to the mariachi macaroni & cheese from Beecher’s in Pike Place, but I liked Famous Dave’s more. This one had more crunchy bits on top and I liked the jalapenos and corn more than the bell peppers & corn in Beecher’s version. The ribs were more than acceptable – not too fatty, pulling off the bone easily, good smoky flavor, and no gristle. I liked the flank steak a lot too. It was sliced properly against the grain so it wasn’t too chewy, and it was seared to my requested rare but still had plenty of smokiness in the edges. Yummmmm. The corn muffin was really good too, and didn’t need any butter to be delicious. The only forgettable thing about the plate was the corn on the cob. This made two great meals for me. As soon as we left I was excited to eat my leftovers the next day.

Smokehouse steak, BBQ chicken, mac & cheese, & Southern beans (red potatoes, green beans, & bacon)
We saved room for dessert because I saw bread pudding on the menu. If there’s bread pudding, I’m ordering it! Fisher & Em shared the giant brownie. I liked the bread pudding. It’s not as good as mine (heh) but it was a very creditable version with a nice brown sugar & pecan caramel sauce and a good vanilla ice cream.
Overall impressions?
food: 4.5 We didn’t have anything bad, and overall I was really happy with the taste of everything on my plate.
ambience: There are mounted animal heads, gun paraphernalia, timbers, working fireplace, and lots of noise and buzz. It’s a fun place. Not for vegans or anti-hunting folks.
why I’d go back: It was tasty! We had a lot of fun and it was surprisingly good. Plus, BREAD PUDDING?! I’m so there!

Tom Douglas Night
I wanted to go to Serious Pie again when Wenza Bronica, Frackaccino, Garrpaccio, & Bakin Bacon were here, so we agreed to meet there on Saturday night. WB & I walked over there and found out it would be an hour wait (this was at the prime time of 7:00, versus my previous visit there at 5:30). The (extremely nice) hostess took my phone number – I always appreciate when they’re willing to call you rather than making you stand around so you don’t lose your spot! WB & I headed down the street to Lola, another Tom Douglas restaurant. Coincidentally, Em & her friend Jolene had dinner there that night. We grabbed a table in the bar and had a drink and a couple of their signature spreads with grilled flatbread. I liked the pureed cauliflower a lot but I don’t think I’ll ever have a taste for anchovies, so that combination was a little off for me. The tzatziki spread was yummy.
Ridiculously bad picture the server took for us
Grilled flatbread, tzatziki spread on the L, cauliflower & anchovy spread on the R
GP, F, & BB showed up and had a drink too, and we noodled around the area for a little while longer before our table was finally ready.
Frackaccino ordered the clam pizza, Garrpaccio had the margherita, and Wenza claimed the soft egg and guanciale pizza with arugula. These are all the same pizzas we had the first time I went, so this time I’m only showing pictures of the new ones.
My delicata squash, mozzarella, & roasted garlic pizza.
Bakin Bacon's roasted chanterelle pizza.
We inhaled our pizzas just as before. I think the crust was even better this time!
Afterwards we wandered down to the bar in the Westin Hotel and enjoyed a round of cocktails before calling it a night.
I definitely want to try and have dinner at Lola or at the Dahlia lounge before we leave. Sherry told me her husband and her sister both love the Dahlia Lounge, and I trust her opinion.

Review: Lark
This dinner was very disappointing. I saw it continually listed in top ten great Seattle restaurant lists and the menu seemed interesting. Amadeus & I headed there for an early dinner on Sunday. It’s on a quiet street near the Seattle Ferrari dealership and across the street from Seattle University. We were seated immediately in the almost empty room and given menus. The menu was cute – long rectangles of paper connected by a single square brad in the corner. It was hard to choose from all the delicious sounding options, but we were able to agree on six dishes.
Our first dish was this delicious fresh, stringy burrata cheese drizzled with basil oil and colorful heirloom tomatoes. The cheese was great, but the olive oil croutons were very oily, and the tomatoes were predominantly flavored by salt. This will be a recurring theme.
Burrata with Heirloom tomatoes
The second, third, and fourth dishes arrived together.
Roasted Eel with Saba and New Potato Salad
Now the roasted eel was good. But this was only 2 2″ pieces on a small cylinder of purple potato salad. I know you can buy 1 pound pieces of eel at the Asian market for $4.99, or $3.99 when they are on sale. (I would rock the Price is Right). So $12 for a dish that was maybe 4-5 bites in total seemed a bit galling. Also, neither of us could figure out where the saba was. That’s a fish with a very distinctive flavor, so I can’t imagine what they did to it so that I couldn’t find it at all. Guess what? It was all salty.
Carpaccio of Yellowtail with Preserved Lemons and Green Olives
I took the first bite of this dish and was dumbfounded. The only flavors dancing across my palate were salt and pepper. Each slice of yellowtail was liberally sprinkled with celery salt and black pepper. I could not taste the fish at all. I asked Amadeus to try it to see if I just happened to get an overseasoned bite, and he concurred. We sent it back, and they made us a new one without salt. (It was still salty). Also, the quality of the fish was poor – it was stringy and mushy. In Seattle!
Black Sea Bass with Green Pimento, Calasparra Rice, and Black Olives
The entire dish tasted like olives. I guess that’s what we get for ordering a dish with two kinds of olives in it. Even the fish tasted only of olives. And olives are…you guessed it, salty! I think the fish was fresh and not overcooked. It was hard to tell under the single note flavor.
Duck Confit Salad
My favorite part of the salad was the candied walnuts. There was a nice mix of greens on the plate and the dressing wasn’t too overwhelming. I don’t eat salad dressing normally as a rule, so the fact that I didn’t have a problem with the dressing speaks volumes about the lightness and balance of the salad. The confit was a fairly generous serving shredded over the greens, but it was also overly salty.
Painted Hills Coulotte Steak with Potatoes da Delphina and Squash Gratin
I am not sure what Amadeus may have thought about the doneness. I liked how rare it was (pretty much black & blue), but I regularly order meat medium rare or rare. I’ve had Painted Hills meat before and I remember enjoying the depth of beefy flavor. It was missing here. Perhaps the cut of meat is to blame. I think I tried the Painted Hills rib-eye at the now defunct C&L Steakhouse in San Francisco. Rib-eye steak, to me, is always more flavorful because of the marbling. The potatoes da Delphina were cubes of purple potato that were either roasted or pan fried – fancier home fries? The squash gratin was good, if rather wet. I think squash might have too high of a water content to make a good gratin.
One reason we chose Lark was for the dessert menu, but when the time came to order dessert I wasn’t willing to try any more of their food. This is uncharacteristic of me.
Now, you could tell from the start of the review that I wasn’t happy with our meal. I realize this is all completely subjective. When we’re paying that much for dinner though (~$100 for two people, no alcohol), then I expect to at least be content with the food. I didn’t leave angry, probably because it was nice to have a last dinner with Amadeus before he left and it’s always fun to try new places, but I am irritated now as I write this review.
In a restaurant supposedly famed for fresh American-French flavors, I was unhappy with 5 of 6 dishes we ordered. That isn’t an acceptable ratio for me. It’s a small plates restaurant, and the server recommended we order 4-6 for our group of two. We weren’t super hungry (having gone to Hiroki just an hour or so before) but we easily finished all six dishes. It seems to be a common thread on Yelp – portions are small. Even though we were one of only two tables, initially, (later five), and there were four servers, I found the service to be maddeningly inconsistent and inconsiderate.
We decided not to drink, and were brought water soon after being seated. Then we were ignored for 15 minutes though we showcased hallmarks of being ready to order – making eye contact with servers, sitting with our menus closed, etc. When we finally did order, the server made a point of explaining the order the kitchen would send out our choices. Of course, when the food came, it was not in that order. Everything was oversalted or, in the case of the two dishes with olives, tasted predominantly of olives. I love salt! But they used so much that even a salt lover like me was overwhelmed. I drank about six glasses of water while at the restaurant, and felt somewhat dehydrated for the rest of the evening. Amadeus collects menus, and politely requested a menu to take home from each of the three servers that came by our table. He ended up asking two of them twice. This happened at the beginning of the meal, and then throughout. Five requests, and each server responded politely with “I’ll get a copy for you right away.” None of them actually came back with a menu, until it was literally the last reason we were still sitting there. They changed the dishes after the first four dishes but they didn’t crumb the table. I sound nitpicky, but these things add up! Honestly, the best thing about the meal was the rich, almost cheesy butter that was served with the bread.
Overall impressions?
Ambience: 4 It’s a pretty restaurant but I don’t like the art (one large picture of two cow heads, several color block paintings along the walls). Even though it’s a small room, wispy curtains and high ceilings make it seem airy and open, and the candles on each table warm the room with flickering golden light.
Food: 3 SALT!
Why I’d Go Back: I wouldn’t. And I wouldn’t recommend any of you even try this place.
