If you live on Oahu and your into pastries, desserts, ice cream or anything sweet, then this food review site should be perfect for you. If there’s one thing you’ll see a lot of in here it’s sugar. I’m sure you all think I’m some obese stubby Asian but I’m not, I just think like one.

So Ray and I are driving by and I’m like, “Stop! Lets get some cake.” Ray slammed on the brakes, did a quick u-turn, and hauled the car into park. What I liked best about this place is that they sell cake by the slice. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a bakery to see a beautiful work of art teasing me. Its torture when all I want is to take my eye candy to the next level, only to find that I have to buy the whole freaking cake to do so. Aaaggghhh!!! Well not at Mary Catherines. I don’t know her, but she knows me, if you know what I mean. She understands me. I got this slice of strawberry short cake for $2.50. I have to say, probably the best $2.50 I’ve ever spent. The cake was soft and moist, the strawberries inside were sweet and the cream was whipped, and not the super sweet cake frosting that are on most cakes you get from a grocery store. Now, if you have more mouths to feed and you feel like doing a good deed get a whole 6″ for $12.00 or a 12″ for $22.00. That’s probably cheaper than a whole cake ordered form a grocery store and undoubtedly better.

Not into strawberry short cake, have no fear, variety’s here.

There’s no seating inside as it’s really small and a little cramped but there’s plenty of seating outside.

This is one of my new favorite finds. In my professional opinion, people don’t consume enough cake these days. Really, when was the last time you had cake. And I don’t mean during birthdays or weddings. I suggest you go here one day on a whim, order a whole 6″ cake and have them write on top, ” Because I love you,” bring it home and surprise someone you love.

I am a whore of many kinds, amongst a few are shaved ice, condiments, and acai bowls. Anytime I see acai bowls I will instantly become a whore for her sweet sweet love.
Robeks, to me, is like Jamba Juice’s retarded brother; it’s like they’re trying to be as hip and cool as Jamba but somehow it just not happening.

As for the acai bowl, I ordered the Super Acai Bowl, a “blend of 7 oz of Acai, apple juice, bananas, topped with fresh banana slices and organic granola.” It was good, but not what I had expected. Just like with shaved ice, texture and consistency is crucial. If it’s too runny, as it was at Lanikai, then you mine as well toss the utensils out the window and pick up a straw. The acai bowls at Robeks were complete opposite, instead of being too running, they were too thick, so thick that to me it was more like frozen sorbet with granola on it. I seriously had to use a little force just to shovel some up. Now, like I said, it wasn’t bad, actually it was rather tasty, just not what I was expecting.

The bowl didn’t come with honey to top but when I asked for it, the lady behind the counter gladly gave it to me, a generous amount at no additional charge.

Another thing I like about this place is that they have the nutritional information on the back of their to go menus. The only other places that I know of that does this is Jamba Juice and Sub Way.
In conclusion, The Health Bar still wins the “Best Acai Bowl Award,” Although, however orgasmic their acai bowls are, I still refuse to go there; waiting 45 minutes for a smoothie is fucking ridiculous. I wouldn’t doubt if their cute little servers are more talented at the art of fellatio than at the art of blending.
Rebeks is the perfect treat on a hot humid day. Since their acai bowls are super hard and frozen, it’s very likely that it will remain delightfully cold to the very last bite.

Formerly known as Catch of the Day, G Sushi will give you a run for your money. If you like Genki Sushi you will probably like G Sushi. Like Genki they place their sushi on a lazy susan and color cordinate their dishes. Yellow plates are $1.39, green plates are $2.19, pink plates are $2.69, etc. Also, if you don’t see anything you want you can order off the menu.

Shane’s turned us on to this deep fried spicy tuna. It’s like a deep fried golden sushi nugget. For $2.69 I’m so sold. I haven’t been able to find anything like it sence. This is the sole reason Shane and I return to this place. Nothing else matters. If you haven’t had it you have no idea.

This dumpling was floating by and I decided to give it a try. I have no idea what it is or called as it was not even on the menu. I ate one before I remembered to take a picture. It looks better than it tastes which confirms that all you need to know about this place is the deep fried spicy tuna is golden, nothing else matters.

I almost forgot to mention, don’t forget to ask for a frequent customer card there. For every $10.00 spent you get a box stamped and a full card means $10.00 off your next meal. I think that’s a pretty sweet deal considering that $10.00 can easily buy me lunch there.
