“The best _______ I’ve ever had… Really!” - Mommy Oh I think it's time to make a shirt with that famous saying 😂 Today we explore the food and nature scene of an island near Downtown Seattle! We’re showing you some cool spots on Bainbridge Island. In our opinion, the Bloedel Reserve is a must if you love gardens and walking. As for food, watch the video for full reviews and feel free to refer to the video chapters below :) Friendly Tip: There were other restaurants we wanted to try, but much like other Washingtonian islands, many businesses are closed on Sunday and Monday, sometimes even Tuesday and Wednesday. So if there’s a specific restaurant you really want to try, be sure to check their updated hours of operation before your trip!

I’m so happy you posted this coincidentally just in time for our anniversary at Bainbridge Island 😍 I’m adding a bunch of new things to the list per this video. Thank you!
You take as long as you need in between videos, Mina. Every one of your videos strikes the perfect balance between healing and entertaining, I'm happy to wait ❤️
Mina, your videos always put me at ease... your vibe, your shooting style, nature, art, food, family fun times, exploring... all smiles! Can't wait to visit Seattle one day (I'm a huuuuuuge seafood fan)! Looks like they have some good pizza too lol (unexpected). 안녕 친구!
Thanks so much for watching and enjoying our videos ❤️ We were pleasantly surprised about the pizza! You just never know from photos and reading reviews. The real proof in flavor is when YOU try it! Always I think there's also some luck involved because different chefs might create a different flavor. The PNW has awesome seafood and I bet you're going to have an amazing food adventure when you get here!
@Miss Mina Yea agree totally - you never know until you try it! I'm from Jersey and we have a strong culture over here with old school traditions driving how food, cuisine, and culture is produced and is preserved. Italian fare is everywhere which is great (who doesn't love Italian) but it gets kind of meh after a while - especially when this is what is most prevalent around here. And there in lies the double edged sword when it comes to "authentic" or "original" cooking/flavors/recipes etc. Don't get me wrong I love this and I find it interesting to see where it all came from but it is limiting. I'm a foodie through and through and to see limitations like these around me, it's just kind of sad and boring to be honest. I've been tasting a lot of Indonesian cuisine lately and recently fell in love with it. Now, I'm intro'ing some of the food to my parents and they too are enjoying them. It's good to see them enjoy food that's different than Korean food. My plan is to intro them more and more other cuisines and hopefully I can bring my mom and dad around the US/world and show them other cuisines - love how you're experiencing things with Mommy Oh - I want to do the same for my parents! Seattle will be amazing for sure - love the nature, food and people. I like rain/thunderstorms too hehe.
What a wonderful video, as always. It's very calming and very beautiful. The scenery is exquisite. You and Mommy Oh is so cutee. I never saw a labyrinth like that, it looks interesting. And the foods look so good. Stay healthy and take care! I look forward to the next video😣♥️
My apologies for keeping you waiting! And thank you so much for still remembering me! There are so many videos online and you're here right now to watch this one. Thank you! ❤️
as an asian people who never go to US this video really give me a new perspectives, so chill and laid back, all the garden looks so beautiful and tranquil
Honestly Mina Deserves an Award for her RU-vid videos you can see all the Love and Effort that she puts into filming and editing these videos 🙏🏼 keep up the hard work Mina 💕💕💕
thanks for posting a new video, your videos have been getting me through difficult times and I appreciate the calming presence you guys exude and the amount of effort put into these videos. Thanks so much, you've done so much more than you realise. Sending Miss Mina and Mommy Oh some love 🥰
Hello my darlings..! A wondrously lovely vlog mina, and moments of truly magical viewing.. Always look forward to viewing your latest creation with mommy oh.. Pizza looked good too..good luck in creating the new creations of creativity 👍💯🇬🇧
I love this haircut, it suits you so well 🙂, long hair is nice too but this one suits you better. I am thinking to cut my hair as well, what an Inspiration. 😹😹
Yay! Our family is always so thrilled when we see a new video from you! Can't wait to see more on Sweet and Tasty again too! Peace and blessings to you and Mommy Oh!
I like that you guys just rolled with the pasta mix up. As someone who works in restaurants mistakes happen 🤷 so it's nice that you guys were amused rather than upset.
Catching up on recent videos and loving everything! Thank you so much for taking us around the northwest area... so beautiful. I haven't been over there since I was a kid but it really makes me want to visit!
Thanks miss mina oh and mommy oh!! Your voice helps me relax my mind. And also thankyou for taking us to places that maybe we wont be able to go sooner.
I love this video! You and Mommy Oh are so sweet! I definitely will add this place to my visit list for next year. I'm a foodie and nature lover in one. Wonderful video!
hi mina i have been watching you for probably 3/4 years, your videos are so special to me and are like an escape from my crazy mind 😁 love you and mommy oh
I love Mommy Oh’s fashion. She has clothes than are practical and very stylish for travel. I love her down vest. It looks like it keeps her warm yet not overheated. Lovely Lady. You’re lucky to still have your Mom.
You Ladies. I loved watching you both you make my day more brighter. you both are so happy. and the pizza look really good. All the food look yummy. Thank you for sharing your videos.❤❤❤
I’ve been to the J’aime Les Crepes, Via Rosa, and Basa! They’re all great. I totally agree that Via Rosa has the best pizzas. It’s a favorite when we visit. Next time you visit, get the chicken kaarage buns at Basa. It’s soooo good! For dessert, go to Mora’s ice creamery, yummy flavors and locally made. Lots of little hidden treasures.
Good luck with your other channels. And maybe once in a while do a "Best of Mina" or "Miss Mina Classics" and do a compilation of the highlights of your greatest adventures and experiences. Just thought as your content is great and I still have a lot to go through. Best of luck in whatever you do in life and keep smiling 😊
This video makes me want to risk it all and visit this place miles away from where i live, because why not it's so peaceful and enchanting, idk feels like home:-)
There are lots of good restaurants outside of the ferry terminal. Give Grub Hut a try next time you're over there, it's one of my favorites! When the ride on ferry line is long, I walk over there to grab a burger while I wait.
What a beautiful place. I’m deeply mesmerised by its beauty and felt so calm watching it and was dying to be there….praying hard for the day to come so that I can travel there one day.
Great video as usual. I'll definitely have to check out some of the nature-y areas whenever I manage to get up to the Pacific Northwest. Maybe someday I'll even feature a local restaurant in one of my own videos! I subsist WAY too much on junk food when I travel.
We were at Kingston port in August and had crepes at that same place too before coming back to Seattle then home to MN. Love state of Washington and still many more places to see.
As a Vietnamese guy, disclaimer: everybody has their own preference, I don’t think your suppose to dump the noodles into the sauce and treat like it’s soaking in some soup. In my experience you usually get less than that bowl and pour into to your noodles. It is quite salty, a good amount of fish sauce. It’s also spicy and sweet so if it’s ya first time, take the sauce a little lightly
Point defiance park in Tacoma is the 2nd largest city park only Central Park in nyc is bigger. Worth a visit and spending some time to explore the 5 mile drive
“Strong feelings at the first bite”. 🤣🤣🤣. At the Bloedel Reserve, the meadow of dried flowers looks like the meadow where the Twilight vampires and wolves were fighting the newborn vampires. Btw, I made crepes after I watched your video. 😋
