We ate our leftover donuts from Voodoo Donuts we bought the day before. Still good. But not my kind of breakfast. Too sugary and definitely not filling.
Went to walk Bruno with Sissy and this was the view I captured right behind her apartment complex. How gorgeous is this?! Right when the sun was rising. The picture does not do it any justice. So foggy and green.
Mum got jealous she missed it so I took her after we all got ready for the day. Still pretty as ever.
We went shopping at some places where they sold local crafts. I love seeing things like this. I just wished Houston had stuff like this. If there is and I’m missing it, let me know! I would of bought some of their stuff it I had more room in my luggage.

We made our way to lunch at …

Beef Tataki Roll [thin strips of seared beef strip loin & green onions on top of a shrimp tempura roll; served with ponzu and plum sauce] | $10.95
I was not a fan of this at all. I felt it had no taste in it other than the shrimp tempura and the beef on top felt very … rough on my palette.
Sinju Stone Bowl (Bibimbap) [seasonal, fresh garden vegetables sauteed and served with Sinju Signature BBQ Beef in sizzling Stone Pot with side of house made Sinju Hot-Chili paste | $10.95
Mum’s bowl came with a side of cucumber. It felt like I was eating cucumbers in vinegar or something.
But her Bibimbap was pretty good. Of course not as great as the ones you get here in Houston.
Silky Tofu in Clay Pot [spicy, organic, locally sourced, non-GMO silky tofu in spicy seasoned soup with a generous serving of assorted seafood and vegetables] | $11.50
Nothing special with this bowl. Wasn’t spicy enough for me either. Was way smaller for the price. But I guess it’s expensive because of the seafood they put in it which they do not skimp on. Filled with lots of seafood.
If I had a choice to choose here or another place, I’d suggest going to another place. Do not think the food here was worth this kind of money.
We then walked over the the:
Museum of Contemporary Craft
724 Northwest Davis Street
Portland, Oregon 97209

They had an exhibit opened to where each artist can only use one tool to design their piece. It was pretty cool to see what the people came up with. I don’t think Mum or Sissy found it interesting though. Mum flat out said that she can never understand art like that. *sigh*
We headed back to New Seasons Market to buy things to cook dinner since BIL was going to be off work and tired. Didn’t want to make him go out since he would have work again the next day.
We made salmon, beef, broccoli, French bread, and I got a side of apple something quinoa for myself. SO GOOD. Their quinoa selection is so much better than Whole Foods! Come on Whole Foods. Get on it!
Day two has ended. Day three coming soon!
I hope you all had a great week! It’s been a tough one for me but at least no work tomorrow! Just my side job of creating flyers for people!
I’m with you…I can’t do donuts for breakfast. I wind up with on sugar-high and then crash a few hours later. No bueno.
I’m glad you had such a fun trip though! I hope you’re enjoying your day off. (:
