So I failed to post the part 2 of the Seattle blog last week, it's been non-stop busyness for me since our weekend getaway. But in case you missed part 1 of blog, you can always check them out HERE. Last September, during our trip up to the Pacific Northwest we tried out the Gourmet Seattle Tour by Savor Seattle Food Tours. Initially skeptical of food tours, the tour proved us wrong and blew us away by the awesome tour guide, the amount food we indulged and awesome overall experience. So this time around, we signed up for TWO different tours and for this part 2 photo-blog, I'll focus on our Pike Place Market Tour:

At 9:45, our meeting spot.. the Starbucks that's often confused by many tourist as the "first" Starbucks.

Gotta love our tour guide Nick, for entertaining and educating us about Pike Place Market.. and the pink umbrella never fails!

First stop, some warm fresh delicious cinnamon sugar donuts from Daily Dozen Doughnut Company

We had some amazing refreshments at Market Spice.

The infamous Pike Place Fish Market!

We sampled one of the best smoked salmons here!

One of the main tourist attraction here.. the fish throwing!

Chukar Cherries..... chocolate treats inspired by, you guessed it Cherries!

Some award winning chowders... personal fave would be the seafood bisque

One of the fiancee's favorite food... cheeeeeseeee @ Beecher's Cheese.. oh yea, these mac & cheese are Oprah's favorites.. not that it should make any difference, good food is good food in general =)

Now off to the fiancee's other favorite place in Seattle... the authentic Russian piroshky pastries @ Piroshky, Piroshky...

Our last stop, one of many amazing establishments of Tom Douglas.. Etta's

One of the best crab cakes I've ever had!

Overall, it was another amazing tour.. less food to sample in comparison to the Gourmet Seattle Tour but our tummies were definitely satisfied.

Stay tune for the part 3 of the trip.... it'll make Willy Wonka jealous ;)

We enjoyed a few relaxing days of good food, beautiful views, laughters and some clean air! It was our sibling's first trip ever up here in the Pacific Northwest so Mari and I got to be their unofficial tour guides. Although this would be my 5th straight year visiting Seattle, I still don't really know what else to experience beside the typical tourist spots like Pike Place Market and Space Needle. So aside from visiting the tourist spots, we explored the city with our tummies! We enjoyed two amazing tours from Savor Seattle Tours and of course did our own Yelpin' & exploration. Unfortunately, part 1 of the post will only show the scenic photos so stay tune for part 2 of the post by the end of the week!
