  ALOHA! my second favorite place in the whole world (LA being the first of course ) is the lovely state of hawaii, and specifically the island of oahu.  it has what every great getaway location needs: breathtaking surroundings, wonderful people (especially the really cute surfer boys i met ) and best of all amazing FOOD! i was fortunate to spend a week over there last month with most of my time being spent at a conference selling t-shirts and other stuff for my friend’s company.  unfortunately for me  (but great for my friend!) the sales were pretty brisk so i couldn’t get away from our booth that often to eat.  i missed hitting some of my favorite eats: malasadas at leonard’s, mariposa, giovanni’s shrimp truck, nico’s for their furikake ahi, breakfast at boots & kimo’s and afternoon tea at the moana surfrider banyan veranda but it’s ok because a trip in october is already planned and all those places (and more!) are on the list of dining establishments not to miss. even though i missed a bunch of great places i was able to make it around the island a bit with my new camera and documented most of the stuff i ate.  enjoy! afternoon snack from 7-11 lobster handrolls at marukai chili rice (eaten in my car!) from zippy’s   lau lau at costco portuguese sausage also at costco   asian food section at longs drugs   genki sushi isn’t the fanciest sushi joint around, but it’s fun to take what you want off the conveyor belt    kaka’ako kitchen’s tempura ahi sandwich on taro bun spicy mixed seafood glass noodles salad from panya   mandoo plate from this tiny korean restaurant at the manoa marketplace   hamburger steak with gravy at big city diner (i ate this right before getting on the plane!)    mini korean bbq chicken plate from yummy (not bad for mall food court, huh?)    avocado (front) & ortega (back) burgers with fries at kua’aiana sandwich best shave ice EVER! is from waiola’s (mango and lychee :sigh: i could eat this everyday)    cinnamon honey toast from shokudo    - A Peachie Mento Production
