4 scoops of poke, 2 sides, and 2 scoops of with rice. $25.50
Da Poke Shack, Kailua-Kona HI
Omg, this was SO good! I certainly liked some of the poke more than others (usually the more savory ones more than the sweet ones). I especially liked the baby octopus poke and the shoyu poke. I also liked the pickled clams side. Mmm, SO tasty!
Shredded pork cooked with cabbage, served with rice and cole slaw. $11.75
Shaka Restaurant, Naalehu HI
This was a great local restaurant that we stumbled upon on the southern coast of the Big Island. It seemed like it was family run and operated and the food was very homey and delicious. Mmm…
Mild Japanese curry with shredded beef and onions. $5.25
Marukame Udon, Honolulu HI
This was very hearty and tasty. I loved the thick udon noodles and the Japanese curry was very flavorful. Mmm…
Teriyaki chicken, hamburger steak, potato macaroni salad, pineapple coleslaw. $13.95
Big Island Grill, Kailua-Kona HI
Mmm, this was some salty, gravy goodness! I sweat I gain pounds when I travel to Hawaii, but their plate lunches are just so darn tasty!
Daikon, cabbage, kimchee, choy sum, and rice. $10.50
Gina’s BBQ, Honolulu HI
Wow, this plate lunch was pretty sizable! There was plenty of food for two people. I loved that you got to choice of sides and they were all good.
Pork belly patty with Vietnamese caramel sauce, hardboiled egg, fresh jalapeño, cilantro leaves. $8.95
Big Chef Tom’s Belly Burgers, San Francisco CA
This sandwich was delicious! I loved the Vietnamese flavors and the chopped hard-boiled egg was a great addition. The pork belly patty was moist and juicy and so flavorful. Noms!
$3.25
Marukame Udon, Honolulu HI
These were kinda gross. I think they had been sitting out for a while because they were limp, soggy, and had a rubbery texture. #foodfail
Crispy house-cut fries with melted sharp cheddar cheese, secret sauce, sautéed onions. Half order $3
Big Chef Tom’s Belly Burgers, San Francisco CA
Omg, these fries were frickin’ AMAZING! I loved the cheese sauce and the sauteed onions. I should have ordered a full order of these addictive fries. Noms!
Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella. $10
Pizza Politana, San Francisco CA
This pizza was much better than the last time I tried Pizza Politana. The crust wasn’t oily this time and the edges weren’t as charred and burned. I thought this tasted great!
Charsu, spicy ground pork, boiled egg. $9.95
Ajisen Ramen, San Francisco CA
I liked this especially since I was craving ramen for lunch, but I think they tend to make their soups on the salty side. The quality of this pork was also pretty sad – it was SO dry and tough. Not my favorite.
Bbq sauce, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro. The Mediterranean salad: romaine, roma tomatoes, garbanzos, feta, black olives, red onions, with mustard herb vinaigrette. Lunch combo $10.95
California Pizza Kitchen, San Francisco CA
I liked the flavors of the pizza, but it just felt low quality and basic to me. I do like the price of the lunch combo though.
Provolone, lettuce, tomato, pepperoncini. $8
Angelo’s Wine Country Deli, Sonoma CA
This sandwich was pretty large and I was only able to eat half of it. I should have declined the mustard, but I loved the pile of pepperoncini. Mmm…
