I ordered Italian Sandwich, $6.95. It came with molinari Italian salami pepperoni, ham, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo and Italian dressing. They don’t have combo meals so I was forced to order everything ala cart. I got a bag of chips, $1.75 and a medium sprite for, $1. 50 to share with my honey.

The whole meal was fabulous. It was a really good sandwich in every way but size. I don’t recommend sharing this if your hungry. It was just enough to fill us up but leave us hungry for more in another hour. Which I guess isn’t so bad since it’s better to eat more meals at smaller portions throughout the day.

Another great thing I love about this place is that they are locally owned and work with local farmers. I support supporting local farmers.

Aloha Salads is right next door to Gourmet Express which also has really good food.

If your down in Waikiki the International Food Court is probably one of your best bet for fast, affordable food. It’s tucked away between Kuhio and Kalakowa. The picture above is through the side entrance. One of the things I like about the International Food Court is the variety of food that’s offered. Say your in the mood for Chinese, and somebody else wants Korean, and then someone else just wants some ice cream, the International Food Court can make that happen. It’s a beautiful thing. Also, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a fan of food photos that show you what you will be ordering. Most places here have photos of their food and you place your order by the number system. Photo #1 is order #1, photo #2 is order #2, you get my point. I wish more places would work this way. Pomai from The Tasty Island agrees with me and also mentioned the number system in a recently post on Bob’s.

Lots of outside seating to choose from

I’m a strong supporter of Vietnamese food so Saigon Express is where I tend to pick when I come here.

I got the Look Funn Steamed Pork, $7.00 and #23. My meal was served in a plastic bowl and it came with fish sauce to pour over or dip. I really enjoyed this dish and only wish they had given me more carrots and radishes, oh, and onions. I had to ask for the mint; the photo had it but my dish lacked it. My noodles, or look funn were soft and tasted perfect with the steamed pork. It was a very light dish that didn’t give me constipation, gas, bloating, diarehha, or make me feel like a glutton.

If the Look Fun wasn’t really your thing, then the Shrimp Pad Thai might be, $8.50 and #19 on the menu. This is what my friend Shane’s ordered. I tasted it and it was amazing, but when I looked at it I told him it looked like it had a lot of bean sprouts. He said it didn’t taste that way at all and it didn’t to me either.

Yes there’s another Greek place on the island and it’s located inside the International Market. I think it’s called the Greek Grill, but there’s not really a header above it’s place. This is usually Ray’s pick. He’s a fan of eating cute biblical animals like lamb on a soft warm pita bread.

God must of needed some lambs today because there seemed to be a shortage in Ray’s gyro. He gets this every time he comes here and we remember it being a lot more meaty.

And it was really creamy today. Sheesh, Not a lot of love today, but thankfully just as good as he remembered. And 10 minutes after eating, Ray breaks out into a sweat, another party gone wrong in his pants and he’s left in explosive asshole agony once again. I’m not saying this to deter you from coming here, my honey is just a bit sensitive to cream, or maybe God has a sense of humor after all.

The award for the best Indian Food on the island goes to Cafe Maharani. I’m pretty certain that by now I have been to all of the Indian restaurants here on the island and I can say with absolute certainty that Cafe Maharani is the best. I really didn’t want to like them at first. Every time I come here it’s pack and I usually have to wait. I hate waiting, it makes me bitter. There’s also an Indian Restaurant called India House just down the street, but they get no love from me because they suck major dingle berry ass. Anyhow, Cafe Maharanl is the best so lets celebrate by all going out to eat there, tonight, not on me because I’m a cheap ass. But if you happen to see me, go ahead and offer to buy me dinner, I won’t say no.

I like coming here because the inside is small but very vibrant.

I ordered a Mango Lassi for my beverage. It’s a yogurt drink. The first time I ever had one of these it was really weird for me to get use to drinking what tasted like a runny yogurt drink, but soon I got use to it and now I love them.

We started with some Nann. It was served to us with a pizza cutter. I believe this was the Kabli Nann, $5.99 and it serves up to 3 people so bring your hommies.

Or you can just order Plain Nann, $2.75.

There’s just way too much sauce in Indian food for you to not get rice.

I apologize but I don’t remember what any of this was called. All I can say is that is was all lamb, one fish and everything ran about $15.00. All of it was phenomenally delicious, that’s why I’m going back there for dinner tonight.
