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!

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!

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

Thick Skinned but was crispy so liked it. onion green pancakes A bit too thick and kinda bland. Seems to have too much cornstarch in it. Not sure why this was highly recommended. Dry Fried Chicken Wings Cripsy Fried chicken - a lot of batter to make it crispy but also sweet / caramelized and a bit of some chinese spices.  Not really amazing but just OK for me.
