So I am way overdue on this post but here I go. I was in Oahu a few weeks ago and ate lots of delicious food. Here is an overview:
Leonards: delicious malasadas, possibly the best doughnuts I have ever had. I ate mine so fast I didn't get a chance to take a picture.
Opal's Thai Food = AMAZING! I went there twice and had pad thai and
eggplant and string beans
There is an amazing concoction called an acai bowl in Hawai'i, it's similar to Jamba Juice's parfait but better. I wish we had them in New York, they would be fairly popular I am sure!
Good sushi at Mitch's Fish Market near the Honolulu Airport (uni, anago, toro and spotted sardine)
abalone sashimi (I had already eaten half of it so the picture looks a bit anemic)
more abalone, this time grilled, at the Kapi'olani farmers market
drunken noodles at Opal's Thai Food
roasted pineapple and tomato curry :) as delicious as it sounds
the best summer rolls I have ever had and the peanut sauce was to die for
Last but certainly not least the azuki bowl (lilikoi and green tea shave ice topped to azuki beans, condensed milk and mochi) at Waiola's Shave Ice. AMAZING!
I loved all the great food in Hawai'i; I miss shave ice the most, especially given this hot weather today. I also wish Opal's was around the corner from me, such great food and a really friendly chef--the second time I went there he wouldn't let me order and just made a bunch of things for us to share! Stay tuned for my posts on my greenmarket cooking endeavors!
