hawaii - FOOD
one of the main draws of hawaii for me is the FOOD. everything has the island touch, whether it's spam and eggs for breakfast, plate lunches with mac salad on the side, the abundant seafood choices (like opakapaka, mahi mahi, and butterfish), lilikoi and haupia flavored desserts, li hing covered everything, etc. etc.
so without further ado, i'll let my photos (and captions) do the rest of the talking. :)
our first stop: gina's bbq
gina's special
our 2nd stop: foodland (and its awesome poke counter)
tropical drinks at duke's
mai tai and lava flow (my new favorite tropical drink)
waiola shave ice
japanese style curry (with cheese!) from coco ichibanya
sashimi platter from shokudo
seared albacore with jalapeno on crispy rice, shokudo
agedashi tofu, shokudo
bibimbap
more tropical drinks at shokudo
the BEST dessert at shokudo, cinnamon honey toast with ice cream
shrimp scampi from romy's
natural flavored yogurt with strawberries and mochi balls from ifiore at ala moana
boneless chicken with gravy from rainbow drive in
i got ted's pie by the slice at foodland!
both were yummy but i'd give the slight edge to the pumpkin cream
david paul's in lahaina, maui: king crab ravioli with oyster mushrooms in a light tomato and mascarpone cheese sauce
bufala tomato salad with hana tomatoes, truffle oil, aged balsamic vinaigrette and black kilauea sea salt
fried rice with egg at tasty crust in wailuku, maui
mini banana pancake at tasty crust
hawaiian combo at da kitchen in kahului, maui
mango crab salad roll at sansei in kapalua, maui
seared foie gras nigiri with unagi sauce - amazing!
japanese calamari salad with spicy kochujang in crispy won ton basket
matsuhisa-style miso butterfish - my 2nd favorite of the night
dungeness crab ramen with asian truffle broth
bentos for the plane ride home from home maid bakery in wailuku, maui (kinda salty, don't recommend)
peanut butter mochi and peach manju from home maid bakery (yum x2!)
