Genki Sushi - Ward Centre



Hello Everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I noticed there was a bit of a lull in my regular visits to my fellow food bloggers, are we all having a busy week? Well, I'll be looking forward to a long weekend of studying...I've procrastinated long enough! So let me share with you a recent visit to the newest Genki Sushi in Oahu. Actually I have been there a few times now, but will post an earlier visit. This visit was done when they were still pretty new, so the service was amazing. Well, let's just say that, now that they've been open for a while...the service is definitely not as good. But let's get to the pictures shall we?

Jja Jang Myun



Here I am, sitting here on a beautiful Monday morning at home. Aren't holidays great? I enrolled an in graduate course this semester, but I hope that won't hinder my ability to post in this blog! I think the next 3 weeks or so, I will be experimenting with different recipes...which I will definitely post here! But let me share with you a dish I made a few months ago, Jja Jang Myun! When I used to watch Korean dramas, I would salivate at the sight of the characters eating these beautiful black bean sauce noodles. A wonderful lady by the name of Maangchi has a great series of Korean cooking videos up on youtube. Please visit Maangchi at her website, she has great tutorials up for some great classic Korean favorites. Highly recommended! So let me share my version of her recipe:

Cafe Sistina



We paid a little visit over to Cafe Sistina in December. We were looking for a nice Italian place to eat dinner, but were looking to find a new restaurant we hadn't tried...so we turned our sights to Cafe Sistina. Lesson learned? Stick to the classics you love; especially for a holiday dinner! Well, let's share what we had...

Nihon Noodles



I must grab my chance to review a new restaurant! Since this is a fairly new blog, I tend to do repeat reviews of other blogs...but I don't think I have seen a review for this restaurant just yet! It is a newly opened ramen shop that I ABSOLUTELY love. Let me share with you my experience so that you can fall in love as well...

Blazin' Steaks



I recently read about this new place in Kalihi called Blazin' Steaks and figured I should give it a try! So I made the suggestion to my office, and we made it an office lunch! This place is great because they have the cheapest steak plates around town! Only 6 dollars (tax included!) buys you a huge plate AND a drink! Let's take a look at the plates!

Palama Supermarket Bento



Palama Supermarket has a great snack corner that serves all the Korean food you could ever want. Almost every time I go there, I must get the kim bap. This time however, I decided to partake in their bento. It's a great deal and they give you a LOT! Take a look...

Angelo Pietro



I am back from Hilo! And looking back, I must say, it was a great trip! Great local grinds they have there, and I will share them with you soon! I think I would love to visit there again soon some day! I stayed at the Hawaii Naniloa Volcanoes Resort, and our room was quite nice. If you ever stay in that hotel, make sure you opt for the renovated rooms! Anyhoo, let's get back into the swing of things with new posts for the new year. Here is a recent visit I had at Angelo Pietro.

Heading off to Hilo!


Time for the foodnista to take some nice time off and head off to Hilo! It will be my first time there and I am quite excited. I'm not the type of person you would expect to visit Hilo, but it did not start off as a vacation but merely as a "business" trip. But now, I am so excited because I hear the food there is great! And I must say, James' Big Island Grinds has been my bible for this trip...I must thank his great posts. So while I am gone, I will leave you with Optimus Prime and his bento lunch.


Oishi!
