| We had to wait for around 20 minutes for our table. The wait number was a wooden rice ladle! |
 |
| Their Opening Hours. |
 |
| After a long wait, we finally got our table. This dish is called Pork Burger. It tasted a bit weird to me because it was a bit sweet mixed with savory. The wrap bread was really good though. 6/10 |
 |
| Tea Time! |
 |
| Chinese food without tea is like cereal without milk. This was Jasmine Tea served with sweet-garlic cracker. I'm not sure what that is, but it smells like garlic and it tasted sweet. Good tea and looks quite fancy. 9/10 |
 |
| Five Spices Beef Wrap, the wrap was soft and crispy on the edges. Inside, it's minced beef and tiny bits of onion. I liked this better than the burger because the meat was definitely softer and the wrap is more crunchy. 8/10 |
 |
| Rice is one of the essential in an Asian dine. This is Sakura Fried Rice, I've always loved fried rice no matter what's in it. This simple meal was definitely the best compared to the other meals I tried in this restaurant. It consisted of egg, bacon, onion, and of course rice. 9/10 |
 |
| Egg Tofu, this dish looks more like vegetables with tofu instead of the Tofu being the main ingredient. The was around 5 pieces of heavenly good Egg Tofu. Though I must say that I was quite disappointed my the quantity, but I was really impressed by the quality served. The tofu was really soft and fragile. The sauce was thick and not too strong, just right. 8/10 |
 |
| Sweet and Sour Pork, another yummy pork dish. A mixture of sweet and sour sauce, of course. The pork was really crispy and the sauce was really generous. It consists of crispy pork, onion, red pepper, and the sweet-and-sour sauce. I'm not a fan of sweet and sour, to me they taste funny. 5/10 |
 |
| More pork, Pork Chop. I didn't eat a lot of this because I am not a fan of pork and meat with bones/ribs/whatever you call it. I did eat one of those, it was really soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. YUM! 6/10 |
 |
| There's always space for dessert, am I right? Red Bean Shaved Ice for dessert was definitely the best. We were so full, but we saw a table right across us eating this sweet thing. It was a lot, but we managed to finish the whole thing. Ice was not just cold plain ice, it was sweet. They used condensed milk and some syrup on the bottom for the flavor. The red bean was fresh, soft, and kinda sweet. BEST OF ALL! 10/10 |
The next day, we went to our favorite bubble tea place, Tapioca Express. Their avocado with pudding and chocolate is definitely a MUST-TRY.
 |
| Avocado juice with pudding and chocolate condensed milk. You can choose to add more chocolate, no pudding, or with tapioca. To me, I've never tasted any avocado bubble tea this good. Yum! You can call first and ask whether or not they still have the avocado. 10/10 |
 |
| It looks like a pudding or anything other than a Taiwanese Meatball. I was hoping for something round like any normal meatball would look like. It was soft, gooey, salty with a mix of sweet, and full of meat! The sauce was really yummy and thick. The outer gooey part reminds me of pad see uw, definitely not my favorite. 4/10 |
 |
| Pork Sauce Noodle, YUM! Reminds me of the chicken noodle I love to eat back home in Indonesia. The noodle was soft and the pork was tender and it tastes just right. I love it! 9/10 |
 |
| I love any types of curry rice. This is Curry Chicken Katsu, three of my favorite things mixed in a dish. Egg, chicken katsu, and curry! I must say I loved the pork noodle better than this, but they both scored the same to me. The curry was really thick with a mix of potatoes in it. The smell of the curry was really strong, fresh. Chicken Katsu was crispy and the egg was over-and-easy. 9/10 |
 |
| This is Pork BBQ. The meat is tender and the portion was huge! It was definitely evenly divided, 1/2 portion of rice and the other 1/2 is something to eat it with. The salad was also fresh and healthy because there wasn't that much sauce, it could be a bad thing for some people, but I liked it that way. 10/10 |
 |
| This is their special dish in Tapioca Express, Popcorn Chicken! I suggest that every time you order this, ask for at least 1 star of spiciness because the spices is what makes it a good dish. Not to worry, 1 star isn't that spicy because my brother who has weak tongue could pull it off. 9/10 |
 |
| Last but not the least, Spare Ribs. Let's start with the egg because it's my favorite! It was over-and-easy and cooked perfectly well. The meat was tender and there are lots of fat which makes it really soft, for fat-lovers, this might tastes really good to you :) the portion was big. 7/10 |
The Facing East is located in Bellevue, WA and it costed around $20 per person for all the meals I ate. Tapioca Express is a whole different kind of dining, this rather small place might count as fast food and people usually hangs out here, not for a dining occasion, but they do serve good food too! It costed around $10 per person max for one drink and a meal.
