Finally unloading some photos off my camera! The next several posts will be from a previous trip to Kauai. We weren’t there for too long, but had a fun time eating our way around the island. First stop after landing was lunch at Hamura’s. Started off with the special saimin and a tasty bbq beef [...]

Highway Inn, Waipahu

I’ve been enjoying the new renovated look of Highway Inn as well as some of their new dishes. Right after their renovation, I noticed a lot of new items offered as specials. The Ahi Sliders with chili aioli above started as one of those specials and has now made it on to the regular menu! [...]

Last week after work we stopped by Off the Wall in Pearl Kai for lunch/dinner. I tried the San Diego Spicy Ahi Poke Don. This is ahi poke on furikake rice with spicy aioli and avocado slices. I loved this!! He went for one of the daily specials. I think it was called ahi belly [...]

A couple weeks ago we were able to go to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner, Hiroshi Eurasion Tapas! I love this place, the sauces are so good, I’ve always enjoyed every appetizer, entree, and dessert that I’ve had here. First up were two things to start off with. In the top photo is [...]

Kailua Farmer’s Market

For the past couple of months we’ve been going to the Kailua Farmer’s Market on Thursday afternoons. I love the KCC Farmer’s Market…it’s just that it’s really hard for me to wake up early on Saturdays! So this Kailua one is perfect. Lots of ono food, and at the very comfortable hour of 5:00 pm. [...]

Noboru Japanese Restaurant, Kailua

After going to watch a concert on the Windward side a while back, we went with my mom for a drive around Kailua looking for a restaurant that was still open for a late lunch. Craving Japanese food we decided on Noboru near Down to Earth in Kailua. Since it was after the time that [...]

Down to Earth Hawaii – Vegetarian Eats

Lori — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:26:34 +0000

Finding vegetarian places to eat out here in Hawaii isn’t always easy. But we’ve found Down to Earth to be a great place to pick up lunch while grocery shopping! On this day we had a couple burgers and a bowl of chili. Everything was delicious! And the really good part is now that Circuit [...]

Off the Wall, Pearl Kai

Back in June of 2008 I did a post about Off the Wall’s restaurant opening in Pearl Kai Shopping Center. Time sure does fly and I felt it was a good time to do a little update to see how they are doing now. New hours of operation are located at the bottom of this [...]

Legend’s Vegetarian Restaurant

Lori — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:42:39 +0000

Specializing in vegetarian dim sum and Buddhist cuisine, this vegetarian version of the popular Legend’s Restaurant was such a great find! If you know where the regular Legend’s dim sum restaurant is, this location is situated just across the walkway. It’s much smaller than the original restaurant which makes it much easier to get a [...]

Big City Diner, Kaimuki

This weekend we were hanging out in a picture frame shop where we ran into one of my dad’s friends, a local photography teacher. We had a good time at the shop looking at oil paintings, watercolors, and some interesting chalk landscapes done by the owner of the frame shop. After this my dad’s friend [...]

India Cafe, Honolulu

When you have a birthday coming up, how far ahead to you start thinking about where you want to have your birthday dinner? For me, I start thinking about it maybe 3 to 4 weeks prior to the day. And in the case of my younger brother, he also had his sights set for quite [...]

Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, Oahu

Lori — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 23:27:43 +0000

Last week we went riding around the North Shore with our friends. What did they want? To see waves and eat garlic shrimp! The waves were kind of flat that day (considering it was winter on the North Shore), but we were successful with the second item of business! We were driving around Oahu counter-clockwise, [...]
