This is the aftermath of the
trend show. A lot of free bags and a lot of purchased bags.

After the end of the event, my group started getting a little
hungry. We choose the nearest eatery.
Off we strove to Nordstrom’s Café Bistro.

We started off the meal with the crab bisque bowl ($5.95) served with a piece
of toasted crostini. The soup was creamy and thick with small chunks of crab
soaked in it. The crostini crunchy texture compliments the
soup fairly well.

It was my first time trying out the cilantro lime shrimp salad ($13.95). I
was a bit skeptical since it was a salad and I’m really not a big fan of greens
and leafy things. But, to my surprise it was delicious. It was served with
organic baby greens and romaine lettuce. It had some seared shrimp, tomato,
corn, roasted sweet peppers, topped with Monterey jack cheese, tortilla crisps,
and cilantro lime vinaigrette.

Next came the rustic vegetable and three cheese pizza ($10.75). The pizza
toppings included roasted artichokes, sautéed organic baby spinach, wild
mushrooms, oven-roasted tomatoes, and fresh basil. The three cheeses that they
used were mozzarella, aged provolone, and parmesan. The vegetarian-like pizza was
good even for a meat-lover like me. It was also a great dish for sampling and
sharing.

The main entrée was the sautéed chicken and angel hair pasta ($15.95)
consisting of chicken breast, angel hair pasta (of course), roasted garlic
tomato sauce, organic baby spinach, oyster mushrooms, and rosemary butter
sauce. This was an okay dish to me, not too special.

To satisfy my sweet tooth, I ordered the crème brulee ($5.25) with the
vanilla custard and caramelized sugar topping.Yums!

They even offered a mint chocolate stick after the bill came. Thumbs up to
that!
