Sunda, CBD: Otak otak, spanner-crab curry, finger lime, rice crisps Max Veenhuyzen, Perth editor Part of Southeast Asia’s seemingly endless repertoire of snacks, the steamed banana-leaf wrapped savoury custard known as otak otak (see, also: hor mokin Thailand and amok in Cambodia) is common at hawker centres around Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and available in myriad permutations starring different seafood, spices and chilli levels. My benchmark version, though, is traceable to this plucky CBD laneway restaurant where the street-food staple is reimagined as a just-set, parfait-like slab of crab curry with a richness coolly offset by pops of finger lime. Grab a dense house-made cracker of puffed rice, start schmearing and revel in one of the most exciting new openings of the year.

As to the potential for the project, “It’ll taste like hummus,” Rathore said. “It’s not at all unpleasant.”

"We basically grind up a doughnut and add cinnamon sugar and brown sugar to make the crumble topping—it’s like a doughnut on a doughnut," says owner Aaron Badolato. Because booze sales during the Base Village opening basically beat out the past five years of the same downvalley, he says, "We’ll be doing some alcohol-infused doughnuts soon, too."

Adam Hegsted’s newest restaurant celebrates one of his favorite, local, natural ingredients. Honey isn’t found in every menu item at Honey Eatery & Social Club – but almost. The Scotch egg is served with honey mustard. The house burger comes with honey-bacon jam. The pulled pork sandwich features honey-vinegar sauce. The Honey Fried Chicken is topped with honey butter. The cedar-cooked Idaho trout includes a honey glaze. Breakfasts come with toast with honey. Anyway, you get the idea. Entrees are contemporary, fun and elevated comfort foods at approachable price points – something for which Hegsted is known. The eatery, located on the main floor, is open for breakfast, lunch and (very) early dinner. It offers an eclectic, boho-chic vibe. The ceiling is high and tan-painted pressed tin. Chairs are metal and colored orange, yellow, white and black. Stained glass evokes honeycomb. Murals on the walls feature flowers and a honey bee. The subterranean tapas bar and lounge, or social club, is open evenings. The focus here is craft cocktails and small plates. The ambiance is more intimate than upstairs, with low lighting and a low-slung ceiling, exposed red brick and dark, tufted armchairs. 317 Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene.

Here’s a somewhat boring fact you might already know about cotton: It doesn’t make a good food, for humans or animals. Glands throughout the plant produce a toxic pigment called gossypol that limits its use as feed stock.

Aurora For someone who doesn’t call herself a baker, Crystal Araujo makes extraordinary conchas. These particular “panes dulces,” or sweet breads—with their crunchy, shell-like tops—are ubiquitous at Mexican bakeries, including those across the Denver metro area, but Araujo couldn’t find any she loved near her Aurora home, close to the Southlands mall. “My mother moved to Texas in 2016, and I was missing her and feeling nostalgic for the family get-togethers we used to have,” she says. “For Latino-Americans, when family is together, it’s never really complete without pan dulce and coffee. I wanted to re-create that feeling.” After multiple rounds of recipe tweaks and feedback from her husband, Edmundo, and friends, Araujo established Las Conchas Bakery—and she’s been baking nonstop for a growing customer base ever since. “Conchas can get stale and dry,” Araujo says, “and I wanted mine to be different.” We say mouthwatering mission accomplished, thanks to her conchas’ soft, fluffy bread base, which she tops with vivid flavors and hues, from pistachio to strawberry to Mexican chocolate.How To Buy: Find out which concha flavors are available via Araujo’s Instagram account (@lasconchasbakeryco), and place your order, starting at $10 per half-dozen, via email (lasconchasbakery@gmail.com). Araujo offers free delivery within five miles of the Southlands mall, or you can contact her for pickup information.

This cozy and elegant pub is distinctly more casual than its sister establishment, Latah Bistro, known for fine neighborhood dining and an extensive wine list. Wine & Taps features five rotating taps, plus Stella Artois on draft. The feel is contemporary and casual with sophisticated yet rustic touches. The floor is polished concrete. Table tops are knotty hickory. So is the 21-foot bar top. Black-and-white vintage Western-themed images printed on metal adorn the walls. A banquette along one wall is covered with brushed velvet. Owner Susan Readel particularly likes the look of the high-backed bar stools, which remind her of “the look of an old Chevy.” She and her husband, Mike Readel, bought the restaurant and its companion latte stand, Latah Latte, in April. They are the second owners of those businesses, started in 2004 and 2005 respectively. And they were regulars at the restaurant before they bought it. There are two TVs in the space, which fills up fast when the Zags and Eagles play. The menu features elevated pub grub and shareables such as four wild Gulf prawns with citrus-vodka sauce for $15, a pint of bacon with whiskey-maple syrup dip for $13, skewered Old-English-braised brats with Walla Walla sweet onions for $10, and Cajun-spiced Mississippi sliders for $15. The $18.50 Royale with Cheese features Wagyu beef, Cambozola, garlic aioli, arugula and smoked bacon. It’s served with a side of chicharron-dusted cheddar mac and cheese. Look, also, for a $13 bowl of bison chili and the chance to build your own steak wraps for $18 with blackened hanger steak, adobo-lime yogurt sauce, radishes, cilantro, crushed corn nuts, lime wedges and lettuce cups. The Bucket of Love includes six gluten-free Mayan chocolate-ancho chile muffins dusted with powdered sugar for $10. Wine & Taps also offers a 4-and-a-half-foot-long charcuterie board for 20. It costs approximately $200, or market price. The pub asks for 24 hours’ notice for it as well as the 3 1/2-foot-long birthday board with Twinkies, animal cookies and vodka-soaked gummy bears. 4241 Cheney-Spokane Road.

Wallace, 52, of Greene, R.I., has won twice before, in 2006 and 2012. His winning pumpkin in 2012 was 2,009 pounds and set a world record at the time, said Thomson. That year, he became the first person in the world to grow a 1-ton pumpkin.
