The best morning tea by the South Lake Union lake, we finally found it



People say that a layer of autumn rain and a layer of cold, go out this morning,

Already need to put on a thick coat.

A heart that loves picnics,

I had to put it away after autumn,

But I still think that if I can appreciate the blue sky and yellow flowers,

While eating some warm snacks,

That would be great.


Riding with friends at South Lake Union

The famous greenway Westlake Avenue,

Unknowingly be a huge black building

Attracted attention, took a closer look,

China Harbor Restaurant,

At the door, there was a sign for morning tea.

So and my friend locked the car at the door,

Come in and find out.

It was lunch. There were quite a lot of guests who came to pack, waiting to arrange a seat and chat with the manager.


The shop manager introduced to us their newly launched dim sum styles, and repeatedly emphasized that the morning tea master here is a Guangzhou master who has been authentic refreshment for XNUMX years.


We took the menu to study, and only then discovered that in this restaurant, it is completely possible to have morning tea like a real Laoguang.Note that it is "eating" morning tea, not drinking morning tea, because there are too many optional things to eat.


The dine-in is safe and the scenery is excellent here

When I walked in the door and looked around, I realized that the space and momentum of this restaurant are absolutely worthy of the words "Seaview Restaurant".The decoration has the old sense of age, but it is cordial, Does not make people feel oppressive, on the contrary, it is refreshing everywhere.

In terms of area, this may be the safest place to eat in Seattle. To put it jokingly, "Don't say six feet, sixty feet is also possible"!


In the bright hall, each table is evenly scattered, and the loose physical distance also reflects the water and sky of the lake outside the window.




The best seat, of course, is the long row by the window,Through the large glass on the Chinese-style panes, you can see the houseboats and yachts, and you can have a snack in the distance., Can also have a sweeping view of Lake Washington.

Moreover, as far as the lake is concerned, sunny days have the beauty of sunny days, and rainy days have the beauty of rainy days; ordering a cup or two here, it is like the ancients carrying a food box and boarding a painting boat to go lightly. Very comfortable.


When eating western food, we all love the view outside the window; when eating morning tea, with such an autumn scenery accompanied, it is fortunate that the cool breeze is boundless.

Dim Sum Baby Plate

There are two kinds of platter, one steamed and one roasted, and the friendliness of the children can be seen from the name.

The steamed plate contains shrimp dumplings, char siu buns and quicksand buns, which are sweet and soft; on the grilled plate, there are sesame balls, egg tarts, and salt water corners. The small egg tarts are very crispy, salty water. Even if the horns are cold, there is no smell inside.


A plate of steamed white and a plate of roasted yellow is simply a golden jade.In fact, it is not only child-friendly. For those who usually pursue freshness and cannot bear heavy meals, such a classic Cantonese dim sum platter is the traditional taste in memory.

Panda Bean Paste

No one can resist the cuteness of the panda, and no one can resist such a lively and steaming cage of bean paste.


I have to say that the black eyes are quite attractive, the bun’s face,The hair is as soft as marshmallows, and the red bean paste is revealed after breaking it. It is delicate and sweet.


The old dim sum restaurant does not mean the lack of fashion trends. Sitting at this retro-inspired table, eating a few panda bean paste buns, the tip of the tongue and the heart instantly feel uninteresting.

Salt water angle is still forced, It's quite big and it tastes satisfying.The shaomai is exquisitely cut, and the difference from other places is that the surface is covered with crab roe. Although the taste is light, the flavor is full.


These are the signatures on the menu, and they are also classics that best reflect the style of Cantonese dim sum.

Beef Tenderloin Fried Bee Hoon

This Cantonese-style dish is the test of the master's craftsmanship. The heat and technology must be online to make this dish the ultimate.I saw the fried fine rice noodles, wrapped green pepper and onion beef tenderloin upside down on the plate, like an inverted lotus.

The beef is smooth and the saltiness is just right. Take a slice of fried rice noodles as a tray, put vegetables and beef tenderloin,Fragrant and crispy can enter the stomach together.

This dish is large in size, and it is not a problem for three or four people to eat it. It is recommended to eat it while it is hot and taste better.

Crab Roe Seafood Vermicelli Pot




Seafood is served with vermicelli, and it's better than the other.A large pot of vermicelli, with shrimps and large scallops entwined in threads. The shrimps are especially fresh and the fleshy texture is felt.

The crab roe is not stingy, and a chopstick is picked up, and the crab roe is all over the fans.The grandfather and uncle who has worked in the restaurant for more than ten years is excited when he mentions this dish, without concealing his pride.It is delicious indeed.

Walnut shrimp that didn't have time to show up

I think my friends should also experience the products produced by the Seaview Restaurant, so I packed some dim sum, and a serving ofCan't stop the walnut shrimp recommended by the boss.

The original words of the boss are:Eat it!Must eat it!OK, eat, and let friends take a blind test.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the three and a half Chinese present here,After eating three and a half, they all gave their thumbs up, and everyone said this walnut shrimp is too delicious.


Then I saw that there were only walnut fragments left in the takeaway box, so there was no picture, only this shocking experience.If you go for a snack, please don’t forget to order this oneWalnut shrimp.


When I went back to the office and chatted with my friends, I realized that the Seaview Restaurant can be regarded as an old Chinese restaurant in Shrimp Map. Because of the exclusive lake view of Lake Union, the guests who held weddings and large-scale events in previous years were endless.

Affected by the epidemic this year, restaurants have introduced new ones. The morning tea has only recently been launched. It can be regarded as a good news for the diners.
