Portland Mercury's Andrea Damewood shares her last meal

We wanted to know: What would Damewood eat if she had one meal left?

🍣 Appetizer: At Sellwood's hard-to-nab-a-reservation sushi bar and bistro, Kaede, she'd order the "perfectly creamy" uni and roe nigiri.

🍲 Entree: A bowl of Cao lầu from Rose VL Deli. The restaurant's Saturday special is a regional speciality hailing from Hoi An, Vietnam and features "thick noodles festooned with pork and chicken, an unctuous broth to pour over the top, and lots of herbs."

🍰 Dessert: Damewood has an obsession with chocolate cake and would order a slice from three spots: Ya Hala, Cafe Olli and, yes, Market of Choice.

• "It's the most moist and decadent cake out there, swear to god."

🍹 Nightcap: Damewood doesn't drink much these days, but appreciates the tiki vibes of the Kowosol mocktail at Kann, a concoction of coconut milk, lemon, mint and soursop. "I truly don't miss the alcohol when it's this good."
