Seafood in Idaho?  Must be frozen seafood.  
I went to Seaside, OR (one hour from Portland, OR) this weekend and had some fresh seafood.  Are you jealous now?

Yes, that true with most restaurants in Idaho. And if it weren't frozen, you shouldn't be eating any... However, Red Lobster serves Live Lobsters!!


We'll be going to Portland probably end of the month.. hehe..  so will be jealous until then.

I went to Red Lobster on Saturday evening.  Food is okay but portion and price are way better than Canada.
You need to do shopping in Oregon to save tax too?

It looks like we're luckier than you are! We have a Red Lobster right around the block!


We don't "Need" to do shopping in Oregon to save tax; we have to pay sale tax whichever state we go, anyway. We go to Portland to shop for stuff we can't get from here, electronic stuff, etc... and there is a China Town I could get most of the Asian cooking stuff I need for Asian cooking. Walmart here has somewhat they call Asian stuff, but they are not authentic and incredibly expensive(usually 3x more expensive).

我既滷水都算陳年，花椒八角丁香玉桂紹酒生抽老抽加紅蔥頭蒜頭老姜冰糖，味道唔錯!!!

Red Lobster and The Cheesecake Factory...
The operating cost is too high for the American to open restaurants here.  Ontario is another story...

I didn't know you have to pay sale tax while sh ...

Red Lobsters chain restaurants seem to be doing okay, but I think The Cheesecake Factory has gone bankrupt (So much for health-conscious food trend, MacDonalds and KFCs are still popular). I'm not sure why the cost of running restaurant business is so high in Canada.  I knew of a Canadian Chinese once got caught running a Chinese restaurant in Idaho, illegally.


It looks like Washington State has somewhat highest tax rates on most of everything, fuel tax, for example is relatively higher there, and tobacco tax is twice or 3x higher than California. Idaho sale tax is about 7%, and Americans never get sales tax refund I suppose. Florida seems to be the state that has lowest sale tax rate, that's the state know for paradise of retired seniors, probably because of that.

Main reason for Going to Portland to shop is that Fry's is there, and Trader Joe's is also there, plus the China town.  We were spoiled in Austin where we had access to all kinds of high end stuff.  By the way, Best Buy is never best buy, electronics could be 50% higher in price than Fry's.  Circuit City? I think they went bankrupt(?) about 3 years ago, but not so sure.
