King's Day SF

Website:  http://sfdutch.com/dutch-in-sf/kings-day.html Address: Murphy Windmill | Murphy Windmill, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA Rating: 3.5 out of 5 star Feedback: April 28, 2018 This was really just a small celebration with a few trucks, people doing some "garage" sale, but it is quite a nice place for a sunny weather. http://sf.funcheap.com/dutch-kings-day-festival-golden-gate-park/ King’s Day, the biggest national celebration in the Netherlands, is returning once again to San Francisco. Dutch King’s Day San Francisco will be a fun-filled day with traditional Dutch games, a flea market, Dutch food, beer, music & more. And most likely the windmill will be turned on (weather permitting), so it’s a rare day to see one of Golden Gate Park’s windmills in action. Please note, the windmill is often turned on during this festival, but we haven’t received confirmation of this yet for 2018.

Website: https://www.lolaseattle.com/ IT is in 50 Things to Eat before you die in Seattle by Spoon University Made-to-order Doughnuts Was in the Top to eat in Seattle It was really good though I think you can buy this in food trucks/ stalls.  The only difference is they have fresh marmalade and butter.  But you are paying 10$ for just small 5 doughnut balls, in addition to the sales tax + 20% service charge that they added right away in your bill so you end up paying $13+.  That is really uberpriced for those donuts.  Rating: 3.5 out of 5 https://spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/40-dishes-snacks-drinks-to-try-in-seattle-before-you-die

Dahlia's Bakery (Seattle)

Address: 2001 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121 Number 48 in the Thrillist Top 50 things to eat in Seattle before yo doi https://www.thrillist.com/eat/seattle/seattle-food-bucket-list-50-things-to-eat-before-you-die "Triple coconut cream pie -  Downtown Seattle’s most famous chef’s signature dish has made appearances on the menu of more than one of his restaurants and has a long line of fans (President Obama included). Why? Perhaps it’s the heap of whipped cream with coconut and vanilla; maybe it's the way it almost melds right into the coconut custard below; or maybe it's the flaky coconut pastry on the bottom layer? Most likely, it’s the ridiculous indulgence of all three at once." Rating: 4 out of 5 star Feedback: April 21, 2018 Tried their Triple coconut cream pie. It was good and a slice cost around 6.50+ which was kinda a lot.  The coconut flakes were yummy, and the coconut was custard so a bit soft. Overall Good! 

Witness - Seattle (Capitol Hill)

410 Broadway E, Seattle, WA 98102, USA +1 206-329-0248 https://goo.gl/maps/ oejnpwZQTWN2 Seattle Brunch Guide https://www.theinfatuation.com/seattle/guides/best-brunch-seattle Chicken and Waffles ($18) Rating: 4 out of 5 Feedback: April 22, Sunday Brunch Chicken was quite tasty. The batter is slightly different, not KFC type but very clean / home cooked type of batter flour. Chicken was tasty. Waffle was kinda bland which I guess goes well with the syrup and batter.  Would I say this is the best chicken & waffle as mentioned in the Seattle Brunch Guide? No not really, it is good but not amazing!

Ping's Dumpling House (Chinatown Seattle)

Warning: Do NOT order their Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) Address: 508 S King St Seattle, WA 98104 Yelp:  https://www.yelp.com/biz/pings-dumpling-house-seattle Ratings: 1 out of 5 star Feedback: April 22, 2018, Sunday 5.00 PM I asked the lady what was good and so she suggested trying out their Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) Orders Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao which had 8 pieces for $9.  It was cheap and it tasted really cheap too.   Tasted not fresh at all. Had some weird taste. The skin easily tear out so we you pick one dumpling, the soup just comes out as it tears open.  Really bad. Looks really soggy and weird. Waste of Money
