What's for Dinner - Chapter 3

[helen]

BBQ Chicken plate lunch with a bottle of Orange Gaterade from L&L Hawaiian BBQ.

[Karen]

A cup of really good chili poured over a large bowl of raw spinach, very little extra-sharp cheese and tablespoon of lowfat sour cream, chased with raw vinegar mixed in some Green food, healthnut type juice, yes...BURP. :eek:

[cynsaligia]

Cyn, Looks so onolicious!

We ventured to Hanazen which is located outside of Walmart- Keeaumoku.

The Kitsune Udon consisted of two pieces of fried tofu which was deep fried. The soup nothing special and green onions added. $5.00

Shrimp Tempura ~ panko and crispy. Also, nothing special. Sauce tasted like watered down shoyu. $1.50

1 Order Gyoza $3.50. Small pieces (6) Tasted good. Same sauce as Tempura.

I wanted mustard or hot sauce but they didn't have any.

Other Ramen Places I go to, get mustard or some kind of hot sauce. After all, dis is Hawaii!!

Auntie Lynn

auntie, next time you are by walmart and you're ono for good ramen, try taishoken. it's across the street and mauka from walmart. reid did a write up of them here (onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/10/taishoken.html). taishoken and kyoto ramen (onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/11/yottekoya_.html)are eric and my two most favorite ramen places in town. i don't think either place has mustard tho. but they will have the japanese red spicy powder thing!

still reeling from our adventure with the cursed chicken (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showpost.php?p=164589&postcount=242), dinner last night was pad thai with garlic chicken (eric) and bun (cold rice noodles) with marinated pork and spring rolls (me). we stopped by fort street cafe last night for dinner. vince and eric used to work together at a fine dining restaurant; vince eventually left to open fort street cafe with his cute & friendly mrs. and eric left food & bev completely (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?t=13650). anyway, dinner was really good--we ate every bite and waddled away, groaning, "uuuuuggggghhh...fuuuuuulllll!" if you're at fort street mall between hotel and beretania, consider them for cheap, fast, homemade and tasty thai food.

[1stwahine]

Mahalo Cyn! Antonio and I are really hungry and need to get out of the hale.hehehe We'll go to the first one.

auntie, next time you are by walmart and you're ono for good ramen, try taishoken.Sigh --- no good ramen in Seattle (well, there probably is, but I haven't found it. There used to be some good places, but they closed years ago.) What do you think of Ezogiku? We go to their Vancouver (BC) shop when we are up that way. I went to one in Honolulu when I stopped by to visit a friend at Hawai`i Public Radio.

[sophielynette]

Just cooked up a great big pot of Italian Wedding Soup. Should last me a coupla days.

[LikaNui]

Good news, bad news.
Good news: just finished a great Cobb salad.
Bad news: it served as breakfast, lunch and dinner for today.
Working too many hours to eat earlier. :o

[1stwahine]

N.Y. Steak with my little one. Would have celebrated 31 years with his grandfather today.:(

Auntie Lynn

[blueyecicle]

Southern sausage and egg casserole.

[Miulang]

20-minute turkey chili and big hunks of oatmeal bread I made last night in my bread machine (takes twice as long to use the bread machine as it does to do it by hand, but the texture of the bread was fantastic).

Marie Callendar's chicken pot pie. Oh, wait. I had that for breakfast and I haven't been hungry since!

[cynsaligia]

eric took me to dinner at ruth's chris. i'd never been there before and wanted to go.

we shared the caesar salad (http://www.ruthschris.com/menu/salads.html), which i thought was the best i've had in a long time--the dressing wasn't runny, the parmesan flakes were copious enough, and the romaine leaves were crisp and refreshing. the anchovy flavor was perfectly balanced, too.

eric ordered the cowboy rib eye, and i had the petit filet with shrimp (http://www.ruthschris.com/menu/entrees.html). we both ordered our steaks medium rare but mine came out a little closer to medium. no matter--both were still very tasty. we had the potatoes au gratin (http://www.ruthschris.com/menu/potatoes.html)and broiled tomato (http://www.ruthschris.com/menu/vegetables.html)as sides. mmmm...it's only the next morning, and i want to eat there again.

we shared a bottle of edmeads 2005 mendocino (http://www.wine.com/V6/Edmeades-Mendocino-Zinfandel-2005/wine/89004/detail.aspx). dessert was a comped bread pudding with whiskey sauce (http://www.ruthschris.com/menu/desserts.html)in celebration of my mumbleth birthday.

what made the whole experience sweeter was that we were surrounded by other couples--one celebrating an anniversary, another a birthday, an elder couple clearly still adorably in love, and another couple who seemed only a few weeks, if not a few days, away from welcoming a new baby (the missus' belly was adorably shaped like a bulging torpedo). and of course the best part was looking across the table at my sweets. :)

Happy belated "mumbleth" birthday, Cyn!

Which Ruth's Chris was this? Waikiki Beachwalk or Restaurant Row? I'm curious how good the new Waikiki one is.

[helen]

Kind of late dinner of pizza and beer.

[cynsaligia]

Happy belated "mumbleth" birthday, Cyn!

Which Ruth's Chris was this? Waikiki Beachwalk or Restaurant Row? I'm curious how good the new Waikiki one is.

we went to the one at restaurant row.

ironically, we ran into a friend of eric's at sam's club yesterday evening, and she told us another friend of eric's was going to have dinner at the waikiki RC. long story short, a third friend recently got a job as some sort of manager there, and a fourth friend also works there. the second friend, who was having dinner at RC Waikiki, used to be a manager at RC Restaurant Row.

anyway, now that i've probably confused you, dinner last night was from bac nam (onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/2004/10/bac_nam.html)on king between pensacola and piikoi. we shared two shredded pork rolls and veggies (carrot, cabbage, celery, tomato) and beef sauteed in some sort of oyster sauce/ginger gravy and topped with cilantro. we had some jasmine rice with fried garlic on top to eat with the veggies/beef.

we wanted a lighter dinner because it hadn't been that long since we had eaten pizza at sam's club. one thing tho--i won't make the mistake anytime soon of eating a carby meal and having a full-sugar drink like pizza and fruit punch (i didn't want any caffiene so i stayed away from the only diet choice - coke). ugh! within the hour, i felt my body chemistry go all whack and suddenly i could feel my temper flare incontrollably and i became very inclined to act a snappish and whiny harpy. :eek:

boy, those younger days of mine where i could eat anything i want without consequence are surely gone. :(

:D

[cynsaligia]

eric and i unwittingly jumped on the chicken-for-dinner-on-sunday-september 23rd bandwagon. we had to go to sam's club earlier today so whilst there, we grabbed a rotisserie chicken and some asparagus. eric put the asparagus under the broiler for about ten minutes and toasted a couple slices of sourdough from fritz' bakery in kalihi and poof! a quick but tasty dinner. dessert was chocolate/new york cheesecake froyo.

Well, I could use more fiber in my diet along with less fat.
Maybe go slower on the beer.

More saba and choy sum, and less steak and meatballs, perhaps, but I don't know about an all-out "diet" with blanket restrictions.

Nothing goes down better after a hard days work than an ice-cold beer and a good hot meal.

"Diet" just sounds so final.

How about "modified menu"?

Well, I've been sorta on a "weight management" plan (don't like the term "diet" either!) this year. I cut portion sizes and try to make better choices (but that's hard for me because I am so picky and do not like vegetables!) I also started walking. I have lost 42lbs so far this year. I intend to lose more...

Whack Whack Therapy!:p

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Auntie Lynn

[woodman]

I mean same page as far as yielding results from better eating habits (I refuse to use that other four-letter word). I would not LIKE to stop eating certain foods altogether, but if that's what it takes then I guess I would just have to do it.

Kanahina seems to get good results without having to go that far, but I figure different people = different outcome, so of course different "menu modifications" apply.

Shaka Therapy = "OOOUUUWWWIEEE!" :eek:

I would prefer to exhaust all the other options, first.

I still like to listen to Rap Reiplinger every now and then, and your post reminded me of his "Shaka Therapy" skit.

"You coming back. Right, Mr. Barbosa?"

"No!
I no like come back"

*BBZZZAAPPPP!!*

"AAAHHHH, Ouuwie, ouwie, ahh!"

Too much FuN and total ENTERTAINMENT! There were so many items to choose from. We finally chose the Buffalo Wings, Beef Tacos and Beef Enchilada. I had to say "moooooooo" to the waiter when ordering the Beef Enchilada!heheheh

I no kid you. It's on their menu!

The Philly Cheese Sticks and Whole Shrimps was a winner.

Balloons on everybody's head. Karaoke, Musical Chairs and Dancing around the restaurant. Yep! Even on chairs!! Senor Frogs is a place where Fun is for everyone. Old and young laughs and smiles. The waiters are talented as they dance, sing and wait on their tables. Awesome!

The Drinks ~ Total MADNESS!

Ukapila to choose from and sizes galore.

Nope. I didn't have any leftovers to take home.heheheh

from kaimuki big city: mamasan's monster meatloaf with marsala mushroom and roasted garlic gravy over spinach with garlic mashed; not-so-big chili (you can taste the beer! yum!) with everything and brown rice. i ordered the meatloaf and eric got the chili, but we switched plates a few times. dessert was the apple pie ala mode which includes bubbies vanilla ice cream. the apple pie isn't your typical apple pie. it's a very good apple pie filling accompanied with two big fluffs of phyllo dough. it's got ice cream and whipped cream as well as caramel sauce drizzles and a sprinkling of nuts. mmmm.

we're stuffed. but hey--dessert was free. you can have dessert free at least once a year, too, if you sign up for big city's monthly emails. they send you a coupon for free stuff every now and again, including a free dessert for your birthday.

eric and i shared an ala carte crazy burrito from torito's (http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/Sep/20/en/en07a.html) at market city, along with a 2004 avalon cali cab-sav (http://www.winemerchantraleigh.com/184952).

one of the best things about eric is that he's great at wine-food pairings, partially proven by the fact that this wine tasted much better with dinner than when sipping it alone, after dinner.

hey, pomai, if you like cab-savs, try this one. it's got a bit of berry pie in it. no chocolately cake flavors to offend you. :p

[woodman]

Tomorrow is BEER DAY!!!

Also a one-meal day (just pick at the food all day long).

Gotta prep frozen steaks ready to grill by game time. Also have a salmon filet planned for grill over kiawe fire.

[woodman]

More bran & peaches tonight.

I made udon for everyone else, the fresh kind (sun noodle co.), but you have to buy the daishi separate. 1 1/2 packages daishi per 1 package of udon because the daishi is so light (cheap buggars).

[helen]

[Beau]

Dinner at Dew Drop Inn Restaurant around the corner from Fujikami Florist was: Hot and Sour Soup, Green Onion Flat Bread, Steamed Chicken Dumplings, and Braised Butterfish in a brown slightly sweet garlic sauce. It was heavenly!

A good friend took me out to dinner as a thank you for watering his plants, and getting his mail while he was away on a business trip.

I wish there were more (good) Northern Chinese and Szchewan Restaurants in Honolulu. Most of the Chinese Restaurants are Cantonese, which to me becomes monotonous at times.

[Jake's Ohana]

My ohana munched on some awesome homemade chili and rice my wife made. The kiddles munched it all up. :)

[SusieMisajon]

An entire pacific pink salmon, baked. Served with steamed potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and hollandaise sauce.

After the first dinuguan of this trip (a mini-plate in the Maunakea Marketplace) for lunch, I really yearned for sumpin light for dinner.

So, Palama Mama and I went to People's Cafe for their tripe stew / laulau plate; then we got some tempura maki sushi at Sumo Sushi. Went to Kakaako Park to eat our light dinner.

[Bob P]

A nice steak with some soya and a little fresh black pepper, steamed broccoli and ginger rice.

with Vinha Dalos seasoning.Please satisfy the curiosity of this humble-but-ignorant non-Islander - tell me more about this seasoning; thanks.

Thanks, Kanahina :)

Leo Lakio, I don't know how this seasoning is typically used, but I like to season fish fillets -- wet the fillets and sprinkle some Vinha Dalos seasoning, then flour and pan fry. It's really tasty! Oh, but a bit of advice... be sure not to breathe when you handle the Vinha Dalos powder. The vinegar and chilis are pretty potent!

[Senora]

I made a roast chicken sandwich with basil, mozzarella, and BBQ sauce.
Not Bad. I got this super giant bunch of basil in chinatown for only $1-
and it doesn't even look liked I used any of it!

[helen]

I had Loon Ngan and a Persimmon for "dinner". I'm thinkin' right now of baking a potato with the works (choke margarine, sour cream, green onions and bacon bits) for a "snack". Woohoo! It's all balance. Yup. Balance!

[kanahina]

the "nutrition bars" are for breakfast and lunch, not dinner - geez - i gotta eat real food sometimes, right?

:p

[Pomai]

the "nutrition bars" are for breakfast and lunch, not dinner - geez - i gotta eat real food sometimes, right?

:pI know. Just teasin'. :p

In fact, I did the Slim-Fast® diet for a few months once, which brought me pretty close to my high school weight. Shake for breakfast and lunch, and a "reasonable" dinner.

I'm still not convinced your Honey Garlic Chicken is considered "reasonable" though. :D

[TATTRAT]

I honestly wish I hasd something good to report, but no.

As a Chef, I stay away from all the foodie things here.

Tonight my dinner was, take out food from work and a few Ice cold "waters*"

and NOW i want dinner, and the closest thing is the Coffee house, but dangit, meh, oh never mind.................

Well... it was reasonably delicious! :D

PS - i did only eat about 1/3 of the chicken and 1/2 of both the french fries and crab puffs ... Is that more reasonable?

last night's dinner was from the chinese place near covenant book store/soup/sandwich and hale vietnam in kaimuki on 12th avenue whose name escapes me at the moment. shame on me, bcs it's one of those affordable, friendly neighborhood joints that rarely fails to serve up quick and yummy food for the price.

cold ginger chicken
beef with oyster sauce, choi sum, baby corn, water chestnuts
fried rice with salted fish and chicken

eric and i were starving so we almost cleaned it all up. i think only three sprigs/ fronds? stems? of choi sum and maybe one water chestnut and a bite of ginger chicken escaped being devoured.

[1stwahine]

Kilinahe's famous Meatloaf w/Bacon topper!

Works every time I need something.;)

That Chinese place wouldn't be Duk Kee, would it? Never tried it, but its unappetizing name always amused me!

[helen]

Corn dog, spring rolls. cole slaw and a bottle of orange Gatorade.

I had a United Airlines Minimeal in a box that I didn't open. It contained a bag of Kettle Chips, wheat crackers, peppercorn parmesan cheese spread, hormel salami slices, mott's apple sauce and two Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies.

Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki 6" sub sandwich from Subway

Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki is one of our gourmet inspired specialities. We take lean and tender, savory, teriyaki glazed chicken strips topped with Subway’s own fat-free Sweet Onion Sauce. It’s a flavorful blend served hot with your choice of fresh vegetables and your choice of fat-free condiments on freshly baked bread.

My choice of vegetables would be olives and pickles - that's all! I'm not a veggie eater! Oh yeah - and it was on Italian Herbs and cheese bread too...

[helen]

BBQ Cheeseburgers from AAA Local B-B-Q and a bottle of orange Gatorade.

[kanahina]

We went out to eat at Chili's last night. I had some of the Awesome Blossom, two pcs of my country fried chicken crispers, half of my mashed potatoes, a few bites of my corn on the cob, and a coke. Oh, and for dessert: the four of us shared the Molten Chocolate Cake!

We went to ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL after taking in THE LION KING ths afternoon. I had the pork chops with risotto, but consumed only one. Doggie-bagged the other chop. Ate all my broccoli, though. Two strawberry lemonades hit the spot.

Enjoyed both adventures. :D

[Creative-1]

Saturday night I BBQ'd rib steaks, potatoes and broccoli for the wife and myself.

Star market had avocados on sale, so I made guacamole (avocado, mayo, salsa and parmesan). Had it with flour tortilla chips.

I bought some fancy margarita glasses at Kmart several months ago, and once a week or two we make coladas or margaritas in them.

This week, it was an OJ colada - OJ, rum, ice cream and ice - blended until thick. Yum! And easy.

We have a guava tree and I freeze the strained juice to use in these drinks. (Also great in cheesecake!)

Variations: OJ, sweet-sour mix, and/or guava puree blended with tequila for a Kalihi margarita.

Also great with Galliano or Amaretto.

Traditional colada as taught to me by my friend Carole Kahn on Kauai was: Pineapple juice, coconut juice, ice cream, rum, blended with ice. So goood.

[helen]

Pizza, polish sausage and a cup of fruit punch from Costco.

[kanahina]

We went to eat dinner at Tony Roma's. I had some: onion loaf, bread (w/ butter), mozarella stick, 1/2 a loaded baked potato and ribs. I have a couple days worth of leftovers too!

First we start with a warm tender chewy fudge brownie. Then we top it off with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and crushed Oreo® cookies.

eric made dinner "magically appear" (our way of saying that one person has zero labor in the meal and gets to enjoy it as if it "magically appeared" before him/her) for me last night by picking up a thin crust pepperoni/mushroom/fresh tomato/extra sauced pizza from papa john's. mmmm...so good, esp after sprinkling a lil garlic powder, oregano, fresh ground pepper and basil on top. give me some banana peppers or jalapenos to eat along with, and i'm a happy, happy woman, esp now that pizza is a rare treat nowadays.

[pzarquon]

Big fat juicy steaks from Costco. Mmm.

[Leo Lakio]

Visiting Hawaiian Musician Week continues here in Seattle (see the breakfast thread) - went out for sushi tonight with a couple guys on their West Coast tour, then brought 'em back to our house for homemade brownies and vanilla gelato.

Culinary tip: dice up pieces of candied ginger to add to your brownie mix - YUM!
