All I heard was dumplings and I was in... Met up with Six Taste Food Tours for their "Delicious Dumpling" tour in Arcadia, just East of Pasadena. This tour was to experience Taiwanese cuisine, culture, and a chance to meet other foodies.

Our first stop, the world famous Din Tai Fung . Our guide Michael Lin giving us Din Tai Fung information before attacking the dumplings.

Honolulu Food Truck: Ono To Go

Image
Voted 2011 Best New Food Truck by Nonstop Honolulu Ono To Go * This is not your typical plate lunch truck (now place) AND they have my favorite Kiawe grilled meats... You can taste the quality of their food too as they use a quality white rice, Kokuho Rose and Gen Ji Mai for brown rice. Pulehu Salt Rub Short Ribs Bowl cooked on a Kiawe grill with their famous macaroni salad This was my favorite, the meat was well seasoned and very tasty. Will have to try the "Sampler" with all four Kiawe grilled items next time Besides the Kiawe grilled items, look for these Ono to Go Specialties: Poke Bowl Combo* with Kalua Pork They make poke to order, so be patient. Oven Roasted Turkey "Tuesday's Special" They run out, so get there early... Other specialties to look for: Grilled Pork Medallions Teri Steak Teri Citrus Furikake Salmon Ono To Go Follow Them on Face...

Taco Friday!

Image
A Breakfast Taco Friday! In the Spring, I made tacos for the staff at a restaurant I was consulting. They liked them so much, they asked me to make tacos for them the following Friday too. Either that or they thought they could talk me into cooking for them... Thinking about those days, I made some for breakfast this morning. With some leftover chorizo, lettuce, and Jack cheese, that memory turned into breakfast. Trying to imagine what they would have been if I had leftover fried chicken???

Maui Restaurant: Japengo

Image
Japengo Hyatt Regency Maui I love going to resorts and spending lazy days lounging around. When the sun goes down, it's time for some good food and Maui is one of those places. Japengo isn't the typical hotel restaurant that serves seafood because that's what guests want on an island. They use Hawaii's locally grown products to showcase the many modern Asian-inspired dishes with a Hawaiian flair. Be prepared for a unique Pacific Rim dining experience. Entrance to Japengo As you enter Japengo, you're taken to a place that seems like a far away modern Japanese village. But the stunning sunsets and warm Hawaiian hospitality reminds you that you're on Maui.
