Anyway, we decided to make a trip to one of the factory outlets to get him new pair of jeans. So we settled on a hike nearby which should be just sufficient to give us half a day's shopping pleasure - Rattlesnake Ledge.
However, there are more people than snakes you'd find. How this mountain earned its name was somehow due to the sound it made similar to this viper. A mountain full of foliage, not difficult to conquer.
Round-trip: 3miles
Elevation Gain: 1,100ft
As you can see, there were INDEED more people (and dogs) up there. We didn't find any snakes.
To shopping time! We finally had a chance to check out Malay Satay Hut at Redmond. If you remember, we had visited this restaurant in Chinatown, but were so disappointed. This Redmond branch is the original, and said to be better. Well, it IS better, BUT the penang char kway teow (fried rice noodles) still wasn't authentic enough. I'm beginning to suspect its due to the quality of the noodles sold here. Anyway, we had a very satisfied meal, with my long craving for chicken rice finally satisfied!
This also marked our 1st year anniversary here in Seattle. Yes, a year had passed. Looking back, we were worried about being able to survive winter, and now we've experienced the 4 seasons, wonderful in their own ways. How time flies!

Wah, the char kway teow looks very nice - even though you said that it does not taste authentic. I don't think I can get such good looking ones (that looks like char kway teow) in Wellington!
The sambal string bean looks good too.
Yes, it did look nice, for a while, we thought we finally found the perfect noodle in this restaurant..sigh 残念.. it doesn't have the wok hei, or the charred taste in it.
String beans is good. Come to Seattle, we can savor these...
The food looks authentic enough, but the chicken seems a bit dry. :P
Believe me, ST, its the best we could find here. It taste good though it looks dry. Can't complain, got to make do with what we can find.
