Back from Paradise

Just came back this morning from a great mini-vacation to HAWAII!



We did two things while we were there: Relax and eat. Goodness, we ate.

Here's a quick sampler platter around the island of Oahu:

Can't go to Hawaii without having a plate lunch. This place serves up some of the best. Rainbow Drive-Inn. Yum. Forget supersizing. Just ask them to pour brown gravy on just about anything. Double yum. The mix plate was a good way to go.



Then it's off to a pretty fancy dinner at Alan Wong's. The appetizer with the soup served in the martini glass just looks cool. It was tasty to boot. The foie gras sandwich sitting on top of the glass wasn't bad either.



Cool off a bit with a combination of a pineapple soft serve bowl courtesy of the Dole Plantation



And a shave ice from Matsumotos



Stop for a mid-drive snack at the Shrimp Shack. Coconut shrimp and pan-fried garlic and butter shrimp. Ooooh these were tasty!



And back to Honolulu for a couple of drinks at Duke's. Alinna will testify to the tastiness of the Lava Flow.
