BLOG: What should you be thankful for this year? — Creative ways to express gratitude

November 21, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Have you ever thought about thanking those who wished that you would fail? Maybe, you should.

BLOG: Good news means no Trump news

September 6, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY A few days of news, without President Trump in much of the headlines, are a good thing. The late Sen. John McCain stole the show. That must irk the hell out of Trump. There was other good news, too. 1. Yay, Seattle Storm! It doesn’t matter that Seattle Storm […]

BLOG: Conquering the MSG syndrome

July 19, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY MSG — monosodium glutamate, flavor enhancer for Asian foods — is sort of my oppressor. I know you readers would be shocked that I, being a frequent diner at Asian restaurants, don’t care for MSG. A small amount of glutamic powder can do wonders for our taste buds. But […]

BLOG: The Asian (food) invasion

May 17, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Imagine dining in a Seattle restaurant, but you can order only steaks, fish and chips, or chicken breast. Would you be inclined to eat out more? Thank God, Seattle isn’t one of those cities without imagination. Nor is Bellevue. What really energizes the culinary scene nationally and locally for […]

BLOG: The king of Lunar New Year feasts

February 15, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY The highlight of my family’s Lunar New Year feasts have always been the chicken. Why chicken? It’s never duck, goose, lobster, or beef. The flat bills of ducks and geese make it look as if they are sad and crying, as my grandma used to say. The chicken has […]

BLOG: Want to visit Buckingham Palace? It’s easy.

August 17, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Imagine yourself walking through the Ambassadors’ Entrance, the main entrance of Buckingham Palace, standing in line for the red-carpeted Grand Staircase and admiring Queen Elizabeth’s gifts. Except I wasn’t imagining. I was there a few days ago, and even dined at the Queen’s garden. You might think I have […]
