Home in the Islands
I was home recently - home being Honolulu - and had two weeks of eating bliss. I thought about documenting my nostalgia-filled food journey but never quite got it done. All that wonderful island food did nothing for my goal to lose 30 pounds this year - it set me back 3 pounds - but it was worth it. Here are some of the highlights:
Some of the things I didn't get to on this trip:
- Kal-bi, bbq chicken, and pickled veggies from Ono Korean B-B-Q on Waialae Ave.
- Kim chee fried rice from Big City Diner
- Squid luau and lots and lots of snow crab legs at the Sunday Brunch at Sam Choy's Breakfast, Lunch & Crab
- More than a few meals at Zippy's - chili, fried chicken, mahi bun, fried saimin
- Char sui bao, kalua pig bao, ma tai su, sui mai from Royal Kitchen on River Street in Chinatown
- Garlic chicken from Sugoi
Some of the things I didn't get to on this trip:
- Hamburger steak plate from Kakaako Kitchen
- Shave ice from Waiola Shave Ice
- Just about anything from 3660 on the Rise (my favorite restaurant in Honolulu)
- Crab-stuffed, tempura ahi from Monarch Seafood
