Near SH29 and HWY183 in the highly acclaimed Liberty Hill ISD, Northgate Ranch features new homes by Giddens Homes, Drees Homes and Monticello Homes priced from the mid $800s. On my food blog, I’ll share with you my current cravings, ravings and rants.The final phase of 26 homesites is open now in Northgate Ranch, a popular new community in Liberty Hill. Fortunately, this city I call home has become my extended “kitchen”. ![]() I don’t have a lot of time to cook a full meal at home, so going out to eat has become nearly a daily thing. Living in Seattle, there are a lot of options when it comes to eating out. I enjoy traveling, but I also like to stay home and have dinner be delivered to me. I also have my favorite go-to restaurants where I order the same thing every time I’m there because I just know what I’m getting is going to be satisfying. I’m still trying to find the perfect BLT at a local hidden pub. I really like to dine out and try new foods. But I do enjoy trying new recipes, whether I make them or not. I don’t know if it had anything to do with the fact that I accidentally mistook baking soda for sugar when I baked a cake that wound up tasting like toothpaste, or if I was asked not to cook again after I made spaghetti every night for a week. I was shooed out of the kitchen, or asked to order pizza instead whenever I offered to cook. I was never encouraged to cook when I was growing up. With her mix of Filipino and Taiwanese recipes, and my fathers North Carolina roots, anytime we ate, it would always be an event. She aced cooking pasta, Chinese stir-fry, quiche, southern fried chicken, and even Korean kimchi. I grew up in a mix raced household, with a mom who mastered every type of cuisine that she learned how to cook. My story with food has been complex and varied. This is not some hokey poke…see what I did there? I love food puns!!! But Sam Choy will be quick to tell you “mo poke, mo betta!”Ĭheck out their website and see where their food trucks are scheduled, or go visit their restaurant in the Hillman City neighborhood in the Rainier Valley. Other things on their menu include Aloha Chicken, Kalua Pulled Pork, Loco Moco (ground beef cooked and served over rice) poke wraps and salads, and their version of Masubi (seaweed wrapped around sticky rice and a slice of spam). ![]() I thought it enhanced the flavor profile and created a smoky taste. I asked to add spam which was cooked on the slightly over done/burnt side, but I liked it that way. The mac salad had the right combination of salty and light sweetness, with the pop of onion bursting in my mouth. It just has to be ordered or it’s not a complete meal. Otherwise I feel like I just got a burger without the french fries. Whenever I go to a Hawaiian food joint, I have to try the mac salad. There is also a tofu poke option for people who don’t eat fish or are vegetarian. For those who don’t like uncooked fish, they can sear yours or cook it all the way if you request it. It’s also more than enough food for one person. Something fresh, light and flavorful without being too fussy sounded appetizing and this did not disappoint. I ordered the poke rice bowl with salmon in spicy shoyu and added avocado. His concept is to introduce poke, “amongst other delicious island dishes, to a wide audience.” So I decided to go back again today, because I can’t seem to get enough of that good stuff.Īs the self proclaimed “God Father of poke”, Sam Choy has been bringing poke to the Pacific Northwest since 2013. The first time I came here was a few weeks ago while I was working out of an office nearby. On Fridays, Sam Choy’s Poke to the Max is there in a sea foam green truck on the south end of the parking lot. Each day from Monday to Friday between 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, different food trucks park in front of the Starbucks Headquarters located in SODO (South Downtown Seattle). ![]()
