Sausage/Ham/Cheese Soondubu from BCD Tofu House (Lynnwood, WA) $8.00
If eating twice a week didn't give me so much heartburn, I think I would eat it every day for the rest my life. Soondubu is, in essence, a spicy tofu stew along with any type of meat or vegetable that your heart desires. BCD has 20 different combinations. Twenty. For some reason though I always wind up going back to this one no matter how many other combinations I try. Along with your soondubu you get 5 different banchan or side dishes with your meal. All orders come with a mackerel (a whole fish just for you!), kimchee, and different types of pickled vegetables that vary each week. This time I received bean sprouts, spicy cucumbers, and spicy radishes. Oh and don't forget the stone pot purple rice! For $8 including tax and tip, you can't go wrong. Poké Bowl from Uwajimaya (Beaverton, OR) $7.99
Holy moly macaroni are my eyes deceiving me!? Do poké bowls actually exist up in the northwest? Apparently they do now! I loooooove poké and always make it a point to eat as much as I can when I go back home to Hawaii. Now for $7.99 (no sales tax in Oregon!) this poké bowl was decent. Was the fish absolutely amazing? No, but it was pretty darn close. They give you A LOT and the chunks of poké are bigger than some other poké bowls I've had, Hawaii included. You can choose what types of poké you want as well so I settled on shoyu ahi and spicy ahi.
Mini Cream Puffs from Beard Papa's (Beaverton, OR) $4.95 for 5 puffs
When I have a sweet tooth I want something that's light and delicious. I know that's vague but it's not like I'm craving a giant cupcake or anything like that. Anyhow I LOVE cream puffs because they're an incredible light dessert, if made properly. Usually the regular size puffs are a bit messy to eat and all the cream filling goes everywhere and it can get messy. But not these mini puffs! For $4.95 you receive a cup of 5 puffs and you can mix and match to your heart's content! I got 3 vanilla and 2 dulce de leche puffs. I would say that eating all 5 is like eating 2 regular sized puffs so I feel like you get more value out of these. Also they fit in your car's cup holder for easy snacking!
