Aloha Salads
  • May 9th, 2008

After writing about Salad Creations a reader suggested I try Aloha Salads. I love suggestions and I’m always up to try a new place to grub. Currently there are 3 Aloha Salads in Oahu, Kailua Shopping Center, Kahala Mall, and Ward Warehouse. The one in Kahala Mall just opened up recently and I decided to take my happy ass to that one.
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.

Brew Moon
  • April 25th, 2008

The first Brew Moon I’ve been to was the one located on the second floor of Local Motion in Waikiki. I don’t know if any of you have been there as of late but Local Motion is out of business. I think its a shame because Local Motion is like a land mark. I remember seeing it on television on the Real World and thinking what a cool ass store. Anyhow, there’s another Brew Moon in Hawaii located on the second floor in The Ward Center. I met up with a few friends for happy hour.

The last time I had some lettuce cups was at Chilis and they sucked dingle berry ass. But that was a long time ago so I decided to give it another shot. The presentation was a little sloppy and the food was salty. I’m pretty sure it was ground up chicken that was used. When I think of lettuce cups I think of Asian flavors, this tasted like want to be but just aint happening Asian flavors. The dish cost me $8.95.

But, everything did taste and look fresh

Ruby Tuesday
  • April 25th, 2008

Sorry, I forgot to take a photo from the outside, But as soon as you walk into Ruby Tuesday your greeted with a buffet.
Lots of booths to choose from.
The buffet got me and I had to give it a try.
I just got a bit of everything, since everything looked so fresh.
We started with Southwestern Spring Rolls, $8.99, tender chicken, vegetables, beans, cheese, and cilantro wrapped in crispy tortillas and comes with fresh avocado ranch dipping sauce.
My favorite part of these rolls were the amount. They gave you like 9 pieces or so. It was awesome, as soon as I was done eating one, I could go right ahead and eat another. Besides the amount, they were good, perfect munchie food. Tasted like some of the samples you get from Costco, but in a good way.
Along with the rolls, I ordered the Chicken BLT, $10.79 and came with fries.
It was a really nice looking chicken burger.
They didn’t give massive amounts of bacon, but they replaced quantity with quality, at least it looks like it.
However, about 20 minutes after our meal, I think I sharted. For those of you who are not familiar with the term shart, it means when you fart and shit a little at the same time. Well, that’s what happened to me, a party gone wrong in my pants. The next thing I knew there were lots of bubble action going on down there. Ray concidentally had the same experience. All clues point to Ruby Tuesday and we believe without a shadow of a doubt that she is to blame. We raced to the restrooms in sweat and asshole agony.
I still support this place, come here fully armed and ready with depends.
