Tonkatsu Kioyshi

Tonkatsu Kiyoshi is a small Japanese restaurant that specializes in making tonkatsu, which is a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet.  I don't really eat much pork so I'm glad they also make shrimp katsu, salmon katsu, chicken katsu, and other Japanese dishes.  I ordered the Japanese Style Potato Salad, Chicken Karaage, and Salmon and Shrimp Katsu served w/ a bowl of rice, miso soup, and Japanese pickles.

Before I ate the main entree, our waiter showed us how to prepare the katsu sauce.  Take a few sesame seeds (top left of pic), put in a bowl, ground the seeds with the pestle until fine, then mix into sauce.  As I was grounding the seeds, the aroma was slightly strong... I found the smell soothing!  The salmon and shrimp katsu were perfectly breaded with panko (bread crumbs) and did not taste greasy to me at all:


If you want the ultimate comfort food, I highly suggest eating at Tonkatsu Kiyoshi!  Other than the awesome food this small restaurant has a quiet, relaxed vibe.

Herbs & Rye

After driving pass by  Herbs & Rye  for many years I finally went in to see what all the hype was about this place.  They serve classic cocktails that were popular during the Prohibition Era and before that time like the Gothic Age (unknown-1865) and Golden Age (1865-1900): Here's an example of of some of the drinks: I loved all the drinks they made, wasn't disappointed with any of them: Herbs & Rye also serves Italian food like  flatbreads , pasta, and  they're known for the steaks they cook, I'll try some next time!  I only had the appetite to drink: I really enjoyed my time here especially the atmosphere of a " speakeasy feel".  They get busy during the weekends so if you plan to dine in, make a reservation !

Hana Hou

During the last week of May, Bronsen and I went to Hawaii (my third trip) for vacation / family time / to eat! From my experience so far from eating Hawaiian local food, it consist an influential mix of traditional Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Polynesian, Portuguese, and American foods. If you're fond of any those ethnic foods like me, its like food heaven in Hawaii! We flew on our favorite airline, Hawaiian Airlines . Bronsen was hoping to get a nice meal than a snack because he always has a big appetite. His wish came true, the complimentary meal came with pasta with vegetables and vinegar dressing: and a big brownie!: Hawaiian Airlines going green: One night I was craving for saimin (ramen) noodles and spam musubi , a popular Hawaiian snack simply made with a block of rice, topped with a slice of spam, and wrapped in dried seaweed. Unfortunately, you can't see the noodles, its covered by the pork. I think there was more meat than the noodles! Hawa...
