We are back, sorry it took so long to get another post up. Here's a place one of our friends recommended to go and check out. We haven't gone here yet, but we are looking forward to going there in December.

Aloha Salads located in Kahala Mall, I think near the Star Market exit. If I'm wrong here please correct us. Aloha Salads uses only organic foods in their salads, from the Big Island.

Recommended to try at Aloha Salads from our friends are the "Shrimp Salad ($9.95)" and the "Ono Island Ahi ($10.95)".

Here's a another place we like to share with everyone. A place called "Blazin Steaks", now this is a must place to go if you are ever in the area or going to the beach.

Go by and pick-up their "Steak & Rice Plate", it comes with of course steak, rice, salad and a drink. All this for the price of $6.00, now thats an awesome price for a steak plate if you ask me. They do have other plate lunches, but we do recommend that "Steak & Rice Plate".

Leonard's Bakery

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:19:00 +0000

Here's a place you must visit in the mornings when going to Hawaii. Leonard's Bakery, well flying in from Japan we usually get into Hawaii in the mornings. Our first stop before going to the hotel to check in is Leonard's, a must get is their fresh "Malasada's" with a fresh cup of Hawaiian Coffee.

Malasada is a very soft sugared donut that just melts in your mouth when you bite into it, than wash it down with the Hawaiian coffee. Once you have eaten one you can not stop and must have another, it gets very addicting we think. This is one place you would want to go to, to start your morning and your vacation.

Learn more about what they have to offer on their homepage.

Zippy's Hawaii

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:33:00 +0000

Here's a place like your average restaurant, but it always seems to be everyone last resort to go when you can't make up your mind where to eat. It's 24hrs restaurant, so you see why people in Hawaii go here all the time.

It's a good place to eat just relax in two different kinds of eating areas indoor or semi outdoors. We like the semi outdoors cause you get to eat, while having the cool breeze of the Kona winds blown depending which "Zippy's you are at. We usually go to the Kapahulu or the Kaimuki Zippy's cause it's closer to Waikiki.

We recommend eating the "Zip Pac Bento", their famous and popular bento- one piece of fried chicken, one piece of teri beef, one piece of hoki and one piece spam, served with a portion of rice topped with furikake nori. "Surf Pac Bento" another Island favorites- two piece fried chicken, two piece teir beef, and one piece spam, served with portion of rice.

The "Deep Fried Mahi mahi" and Zippy's Saimin is Nao's favorites, when going to Zippy's. She will not order anything else but that, well maybe she will have their "Slush Float", which goes well with all the bentos.

They are also good when you don't want to cook, they have "Bucket Chicken" and their famous "Zippy's Chilly Bucket" for those who need something quick.

Below we have posted 2 links for Zippy's, one is the main where you can find their location and whats on the menu. The second link is the their online orders, where you can do some online shopping from Zippy's. Well we hope you like this restaurant, you can never stop going here.

Here's one of our Top places to eat when we go to Hawaii. "Yakiniku Hiroshi", is a Japanese style Yukiniku with great beef from "Kobe Beef". They originally used to have "Kobe Beef" from Japan, which is one of the famous beef produced in Japan. Now this beef is not allow in the US, and now they are using beef similar to "Kobe Beef" made out of Idaho by Snake River Farms.

It's dinning area is one of the most unique spots in Waikiki, if you are lucky you may see or meet someone famous from Japan eating here. Their walls are sign with famous people all over the world. The last time we were there, we got to meet Kazuo Matsui of the NewYork Mets at that time and now Houston Astros. We got to talk a little bit and also got an autograph before we left.

Dished we recommend for you to try when you get there, "Yukke" (Fresh Raw meat mixed a Raw Egg), "Pork Kimchee" (Pork mixed with Kimchee and Mayonese), "Beef Tongue", "USDA Thinly Sliced Prime Rib Eye", "US Kobe Bara", "US Kobe Kalbi", and "US Kobe Toro Kalbi". To see the price please go to there website at the bottom to see a PDF download to see the rest of the menu.

Takonoki

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 05:43:00 +0000

Here's a great restaurant to go to if you want to taste some good Japanese food, this is the place to go. The owner is from Osaka, Japan and a very nice guy. Osaka is known for their great food so he had open up his own restaurant in Hawaii to share with others.

It has a counter table where you can chat with the owner while he's cooking or making something for the customers. It's a very relaxing place to enjoy eating Japanese food and chatting with other from all over the world.

What we recommend on the menu to try is the "Geso Kara-age" (Deep Fried Squid legs), "Chirimi-Cabbage" (Dry White Bate with Cabbage Stir fried), "Hottke" (Japanese fish from Houkaidoo, Japan), and "Adamame" (Boiled Soybeans). On the bottom is the address on where "Takonoki" is located, also if you you click the link it will take you their site where you can get a discount coupon. So if when you get a chance to visit and dine there, tell the owner that Nao & Tomie from Osaka sent you.
