Thursday dinner with the boys, decided to finally try out this ramen place in McCully Shopping center. The Asian skank and hooligan wannabe shopping center. The shopping center of profanity sounding eateries, what with “phuket”, “fook yuen”, “dong”. The shopping center of horrible parking. The shopping center of strange clientel going into the 7-11 (actually, I think that describes every 7-11). Set on the second floor at the very ewa end is Yotteko-ya.

Went to the McBike bike department bonus dinner last night at the Shogun Restaurant at the Pacific Beach Hotel. Buffet style. Main line was quite pedestrain, with the exception for the presence of goya champuru and shoyu pork. The champuru was looking a little grey, so it didn’t make it onto my plate. The little pitchers that held the soba tsuyu were empty, so my soba sucked even more. There was crab… the smooth one… is that Snow crab? Not the pokey Alaska King crab… Sushi selection was fairly good and quality was not unacceptable. Didn’t try the prime rib or tempura. Continue reading ‘What the hell is this cr@p?’
This past saturday was enchiladas at Wayland’s, and booty from Hokkaido from Dave.
Since it seems to be Mexican food, we start off with shots of tequila. Honest, I didn’t drink before taking this shot, much. Needed some snacky bits to go along, so Dave busted out the salmon jerky from Hokkaido. Good stuff! Complete with Engrish! Actually grammatically the English on the packaging was pretty good, just um, ornate.
Yes, the print is impossibly tiny: “when the high northern sky clears to a perfect light higher than in any other season salmon which have survived a long long sea journey return with unrelenting determination Never daunted by raging torrents toward the river of their birthplace salmon are swimming with heartfelt devotion their silvery scales glistening What vitality and mystery they are filled with! A last salmon struggle along in their birthplace an unending goal throughout their pilgramage spawn a large number of eggs and then exhaust their remaining energy only to be carried away by a stream”
Anyway, the enchiladas came out yummy, the Hokkaido craft beer tasty, the rest of night was pretty mellow. All the pics at: http://www.studionewmedia.com/gallery/v/Waylands/2007June16/
And speaking of Engrish, was eating dinner tonight and found some. Everyone who comes to the table with a good health deserves a smack.
I’m maui bound for work tomorrow, at least I won’t have chickens waking me up ungodly early
Memorial Day 2007 Kamp Part 2
Yawn. What time is it anyways? Drat its already starting to get hot. And what is that I hear?
So this past memorial day weekend was spent camping at Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden. We havnt been camping for a few years. My Blue Tarp that I used to use for ground cover turned into dust; so I meant to buy one that day; but forgot at the moment I remembered that I needed my floppy hat. So I ended up stopping back at the house to get some 6mil plastic sheet that happened to be lying around.
That turned out to be a preview of things to come. Continue reading ‘Kamp’
