02/08/2009: "New Diner's Drive In"

February 2009

Saturday was a nice day. Great weather and I got the rest I needed. I decided to run an errand to Palama Supermarket for ingredients in preparation for my meals this week. I'm going to make some great japh chae and also some awesome kimchee gyoza! I hope to share pictures later in the week. smile Anyway, as I finished my errands, I realized I would need some lunch. While Palama offers some great Korean food, I was going to have dinner at Koreana and lunch today at So Gong Dong...I don't want to out Korean myself.

At first, I ended up at Bob's BBQ...but the line was super long and I didn't see anything I craved. Then I tried my luck at Meg's Drive In but there was no parking! I continued to drive down and hit King Street and lo and behold, the New Diner's Drive In sign! I didn't realize that this place shared a lot with a saimin place and Kiawe Burgers (which I would like to try sometime soon!)...what a find!

And what's even better? They had my favorite lunch plate of all time, roast pork! So I ordered it up and here are some pictures from it. It was pretty good, not the best I ever had but definitely return-worthy. I might try their fried saimin next time. I did get to try the new Koreana restaurant and hope to do a review on this blog soon. I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!
