Yay! Posting my eats in Hawaii...
Straight home from the airport... mom is the best! She had our favorites there waiting for us... mitsuken garlic chicken (SOOO GOOD), soy beans & poke!!!
Dad shared with us his ume wine, or ume something... vodka? I forget. It's made by soaking the ume in the juice for something crazy like 6 months or something, maybe a year? I was so tired I forget all the details...
First stop on Friday was to Genki. My favorite place ever. Here's their spicy tuna, my favorite spicy tuna from any place I've ever had... and the one in the background was a new one, spicy tuna in inari. It was just ok, the inari is so sweet and then the spicy ahi, kinda interesting combo...
mmmm ahi poke another of my favorites
tuna salad...sounds weird but it's really good... sean's favorite one.
Chinese Dinner @ Asia Manoa with tutu. She had her whole menu to order already written down...
duck with buns
green beans
honey walnut shrimp

Finally got to visit cupcake couture. Last xmas we went twice and both times they were closed! Mom got red velvet and I got a coffee flavored one. Yum!
Dad's famous fried rice!!!
I love love love love love the char siu look fun from chinatown... Mom went early one morning and picked some up for me. Yay! I ate all three rolls by myself...whoops
Mom and Dad have been raving about Pho Bistro and we finally got the chance to check it out. Man they were right! Totally not exaggerating one bit. It was delicious. And they let you bring in your own alcohol, no charge! We had a nice bottle of wine & some beers...
First we started off with this unbelievable salad, then I had oxtail soup with pho on the side... it was FANTASTIC!!!

We tried a new shave ice place this time- Shimazu Store. It was really good! Soft! They had a lot of unique flavors...it was HUGE too. Go figure half mine fell off the top before I even got to the car but I took it back and they replaced the whole thing...really nice.
Seafood counter at Foodland is the best! We loooove the poke there. There's all kinds of stuff now too. To top it all of, they are now at Aina Haina shopping center, so close!!
Gyukaku would not have been my choice on my few days home, but it's dad's favorite and it was father's day! :)
Have to hit up rainbows when you go home... but actually there isn't anything there that I'm super crazy about. Everything is good, but nothing blows me away. My favorite thing is actually the ice cream float! Sean loves the teri burgers there though, so we stopped to get him one for the plane ride.
