Xing’s Panda Palace at Sunset, Bellingham

It was time for lunch: Chinese food and Xing’s Panda Palace was it. Delectable. The last time I tasted Chinese food that wasn’t ‘Americanized’ was back in Flushing, NY. I can still smell the fried wonton and bbq spare ribs in their takeout bags, mmmmm.

Wonton soup, egg-drop, fried rice, beef and broccoli, spicy pork and vegetables and 3 egg rolls (they have cabbage in them – I love cabbage).

I didn’t eat all that alone. I went with my girlfriend. I couldn’t eat all that by myself! We go out to eat together for support companionship.

Oriento Fine Chinese Cuisine, Bellingham

My daughter and I were in need of some quality time together, so we went to a restaurant. They don’t leave us alone at home.

Right near her preschool in the Fountain District of Bellingham is a great Chinese restaurant, Oriento. It has big comfy booths and servers with huge smiles (of course everyone gives her a huge smile). We ate 3 egg rolls (we love cabbage), spicy mongolian beef and teriyaki chicken. I don’t know what it is about teriyaki, it’s like magic ketchup – put it on food and a kid will eat it. But, seriously, I had some and it was delicious. What really stood out was how fresh the food tasted.

Maybe we’ll bring the others with us next time…

Sehome Village in Bellingham includes a few restaurants including Espinoza Mexican Grill. I need to explore Sehome Village more, and I will write about it here.

Espinoza Mexican Restaurant in Bellingham

Filed under: Bellingham Restaurants — Tags: Bellingham Restaurants, mexican restaurants — Bellingham Diner @ 6:00 pm

Considering Espinoza Mexican, down in Sehome Village near the Bellingham REI store. Never been there, but the Bellingam/Whatcom County Health department issued some stars about how clean various restaurants are, and my recollection is this was one of the clean ones. Best I could find on the web is a menu.

So it’s off to Espinoza Mexican tonight!

Tino’s Pizza & Pasta

Filed under: Bellingham Restaurants,restaurants — Tags: Bellingham Family restaurants, Bellingham Restaurants, pizza — Bellinghamster @ 9:57 pm

A teacher friend of mine who relocated from Queens, NY to Bellingham clued me in to Tino’s Pizza. It was in Sudden Valley, which if you’re familiar with Bellingham, is considered a trek from town. But I grew up in NYC. They don’t know what a trek is around here. A trek is going down to Seattle, ok?

My opportunity for this trek came in the form of soccer practice. Its location was changed from the Carl Cozier fields (1 mile drive) to the Sudden Valley fields (6 miles). And I had to pass Tino’s Pizza to get there.

Well, what a wonderful Italian restaurant. And I know, because I had to live in NJ for 18 years.

It was busy, smelled fresh and tomato-ey and the patrons were laughing. I ordered a pepperoni pizza to go and I was happy to get 1 slice. Even the 5 year old cried for it. One thing I welcome back about NJ is the taste of Tino’s Pizza. It’s worth the drive and next time I will sit ‘n stay ‘n stuff.
