Wendy remembers crispy wonton noodles and duck sauce

Filed under: Bellingham local,local,Pacific Northwest — Tags: , — Bellinghamster @ 3:34 pm

Wendy agrees with me; the Chinese restaurants in Bellingham are missing the crispy wonton noodles and duck sauce. She has them when she goes out to eat in Santa Barbara, CA. So, why aren’t they in Bellingham, WA?

Actually they can be found at the Chinese Market next to Speak Ez’s Memphis BBQ. They’re in a bag and not as fresh as would be if served before a restaurant meal.

Perhaps it is a menu item and not a freebie on the table. I’ll have to eat at more Chinese restaurants to find out…but, right now I’m recovering from our Stimpson Nature Preserve hike this morning (we’re not cougar food today).

Mykonos Greek Restaurant

Filed under: Bellingham local,Bellingham Restaurants,local,Pacific Northwest,restaurants — Tags: , — Bellinghamster @ 3:55 pm

Dimitri Kaplaneris is a wonderful car salesman at Dewey Griffin here in Bellingham. He has been very patiently helping me sort through Subarus. He is originally from Athens and has a favorite restaurant in Bellingham: Mykonos Greek Restaurant. He should know good Greek food, no? I trust his opinion. I’m going for taste test.

Who should I take with me? If I tell you when I’m going to be there, will you join me?

Rhodes Cafe Bellingham (not Roads Cafe!)

Filed under: Bellingham local,Bellingham Restaurants,local,Pacific Northwest,restaurants — Tags: , — Bellinghamster @ 12:09 pm

Rhodes Cafe is easy to miss. It is cornered between Radio Shack and Cost Cutter. Perhaps this is by design. It is a great place to eat if you’re a regular. If you’re not, the service is compulsory and polite.

The food is very good with American and Greek choices; breakfast and lunch is served. If you want REAL milk for your coffee, your server may be piqued by your request.

My best experiences have been breakfast with one of my kids before school with an older server. Otherwise, weekends with my family (5) gets a cramped table (the large one always seems to be reserved) and a younger server with a tolerant attitude.

Try it, you might like it.  1046 Lakeway Dr  Bellingham WA (360) 714-9743

Book Fare

Food and view. Sometimes it’s all I need. Heather’s desserts, too. Book Fare is the place to get them.

Wendy and I went to lunch (surprise). She ordered a grilled Greek sandwich. She raved and raved, the feta was so good. Our server, Meagan, was Excellent. She was looking out for my well being. Example: I wanted soup and sandwich. She explained the soup was just put on the burners; it would be a while before it was hot enough to serve. It’s been a long time since I had a server this attentive (this was the shortfall at Boundary Bay Brewery). I would return for this reason alone.

Well, I opted to have the veggie cheddar sandwich with salad and crunched and munched my taste buds to happiness. I drank a huge glass mug of Rooibus tea – very warming (Wendy drank coffee and was zippy in no time). When it came to dessert, I really couldn’t decide! And I was stuffed from my sandwich and salad.

Plus, I already know how Heather’s apple pie tastes (have one in the fridge at home). Great!

Oh where oh where did Shahrazad go? Oh where oh where could it be?

Try the Farmer’s Market, because now there’s a place called Bowl ‘n Roll in it’s real estate at 207 W Holly St.
