For my 30th birthday, I decided to celebrate it for the entire month of November. Since I've reached this milestone in my life, why not spread out the celebration? Here are highlights of my birthday month: Cake, Cake, Cake My coworker got me this lovely Guava Cake from Andrea's World of Cakes , thank you Fran! Hawaii Trip '16 My family and I were in Hawaii for a bit. Being there for my birthday was not the primary reason though :p We had this 'ono (delicious) and authentic Hawaiian meal from Waiahole Poi Factory : Don't forget the chili water and Shoyu! There's been many poke bowl shops poppin' up in Vegas. But none yet that I've been to can beat the OG poke bowls from Hawaii! Pictured here are poke bowls with simply marinated raw fish and rice. We also had some sashimi and musubis from Foodland Farms : Li Hing Mui Frost from Frostcity : These huge Banana Mac Nut Pancakes with Coco
