Destination: Seattle- Eagles Buffet

Living in Vancouver, it's tough to find a good buffet place to go to. I've been to Eagles Buffet before and it's better than most places. Eagles Buffet is located inside Tulalip Resort Casino which is next to the Seattle Premium Outlet. It was $19.95 per adult and for kids it's $9.45.


I was too busy grabbing food and totally forgot to take snapshots of the place for you all! But I took photos of my food! Being the pig I am, I had 3 full plates at this place! (pls don't judge..lol) 


First off, I got a big piece of Salmon, Beef, some broccoli (trying to be a BIT healthy) and chicken! The Salmon was disappointing..I ate less than a half and just left it there. It's very dry and not much taste so I don't recommend grabbing the Salmon. The Chicken was alright also kind of dry and the beef was very delicious! 

Destination: Seattle- The Cheesecake Factory

Who doesn't know about the Cheesecake Factory?!

First time I've ever tried this place was a few years back in San Francisco. Ohboy was I impressed with the first experience I've had at that restaurant. Knowing that Seattle has it, it was definitely a must go place on our list. At first I wanted to try the Crab King instead, but our friend is allergic to seafood so we went for the Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory is right across from the Crepe place that I've mentioned on my first post on Destination: Seattle. From the outside it seems like a very small restaurant but when we stepped in it was actually very big! There were so many people waiting for a table but it wasn't a long wait. We probably waited for 10-15 minutes till we got our table. I really liked the interior, very classic and casual. 

Also, sorry for the horrible lighting for the pictures, it was fairly dim in the restaurant so it was hard to get a good shot and with flash the colouring was just way too off. 

Destination: Seattle- Sweet Iron

Another place I searched up on Urbanspoon, this was highly recommended and was one of the higher ranking places for breakfast. I know limmerZ love waffles so I knew this place would be perfect for us to try! It was very hard to find parking near the restaurant and mostly it was pay parking, so if you're driving down there please keep in mind that it'll be impossible to be able to find free parking. The restaurant in general was small and when we got there we were the only customers probably because it was a holiday and people tend to sleep in. The layout of the restaurant was simple, so not much to say about that.

Destination: Seattle- Pike Place Chowder

We heard many good things about Pike Place Chowder and it's a MUST try place when you're in Seattle. It's located in one of the malls in Downtown and we went around 1 something so it wasn't extremely busy. They had several tables inside the restaurant and more tables located in front of the store. They also have another location at the Public Market. 

Destination: Seattle- La Crêperie Voilà

During a long weekend, I headed down to Seattle with limmerZ and his friends. First stop for food, we went to the best recommended crepe place on urbanspoon. It's an outdoor store where the convention centre is. It was a rainy day and thank god they have a huge cover on top of this place, so the rain did not affect us at all! When we got there there was already quite a few people lining up, so I had pretty high expectations for this place! I was looking around and I only saw a couple of outdoor tables set in front of the store but we found out that you can bring it in the convention centre and eat it in there because they have way more tables available for you to sit in, also it was a lot warmer indoors! 

Yan's Garden Restaurant

While heading down to Coquitlam mall my family and I decided to eat lunch at this dim sum restaurant. According to my dad this place is pretty good. The parking lot is pretty big so there were plenty of spots available. First impression of this place was not what I expected. It's very old and not noticeable at all! They have two sides to the restaurant, one side is the main sitting area and the other side has a karaoke machine and can host parties. The place is pretty big and they do have a lot of tables. When we got inside to the restaurant, most of the tables were filled and I was quite surprised! This dim sum place is one of those older style restaurants where they have those carts filled with dim sum and it goes around the restaurant. I do like dim sum restaurants like these because you don't have to wait as long for them to make the dim sum!

This is Stir Fried Dao Miu. It was pretty average.

Fried Chicken Wings! This was actually pretty good, my brother cleared this plate up!

Monks McQueens- Waterfront Bar & Grill

 Monks, well known for their fresh daily seafood. Finally had a chance to give this place a try. For a couple who loves to buy vouchers we always keep an eye out for amazing deals and finally our chance was here when limmerZ snatched a voucher for us to go to the Monks with 50 dollars worth. I've never been there in my life so thank god limmerZ came here with his family before otherwise I wouldn't even know how to get to this place because it was pretty hidden. They don't have many parking spots a long the side walk so its either be patient and wait for a free parking spot or valet your car. They have a whole parking lot just for the valet boys to valet cars. So, since it was right there and all the side parkings were taken up we've decided to pay for valet instead. Valet was approximately 8 dollars. The entrance was nothing grand but when we walked in the restaurant it was a very casual setting and it was a sunny day so the brightness just made the whole place look better. Apparently on the menu at the bottom of the page it indicates that if you're going to a White Caps game they do provide free valet parking and free shuttle to BC Place and $15 dollars for burger and beer! limmerZ and I didn't know they had this before so it kind of sucked how we already went to a White Caps game :(
