Feed the Troll

We got our first taste of Musang with Seago outside on the Seahawks' turf. Now we were here for the real deal. Eater:

"Since opening in early 2020, Beacon Hill’s innovative Filipino restaurant from star chef Melissa Miranda has developed a dynamic menu with items such as succulent short rib kare kare, smoked oysters, and mussels cooked with moringa. The homey space makes diners feel like they’re eating in a beloved family member’s living room, albeit one with killer cocktails, world-class food, and reservations that fill up quickly. Musang also gives back with charitable endeavors like a community kitchen and youth program Little Wildcats, which provides education about Filipino recipes and culture."

This is the food I moved to Seattle for: high quality and awesome Asian cuisine.

It's been fun seeing Lydia's reactions to the different stages of pregnancy.

Feeding Seago

We continued to entertain Seago with the wonders of Seattle.

Lydia finished the puzzle I bought her.

We had a good time at Lumen Field doing the Field to Table thing last year where you eat delicious foods where others kick footballs and such. We thought Seago might think it was amusing so we came back for another go.

They have different big deal chefs on different days for you to choose from. This time we chose Musang's Mel Miranda.

Ginataang alimango

 dungeness crab, ginger, coconut milk, scallions, rice cracker

Bangus + Munggo

Mung bean stew, tomatoes, onion, gralic, malunggay, fried milkfish

Bobotu - Filipino Tamales

Annatto chicken, salted duck egg, rice flour, corn grits, shiitake mushrooms, coconut milk, banana leaf

Banana cake caramelized with jackfruit latik and fresh whip

Mel came out and gave a little speech, which I sort of think should happen every time I have dinner.

On our way to our car we noticed there was a Rolls Royce in the parking lot.
