Oh so many choices and well, considering I don’t have a job quite yet, so much time. I probably have enough time to eat until I grow back boobs, though I probably wouldn’t get much loving from my hubby to be. On the bright side, more boobs to fondal until I find some low calorie meals to blog about.
O.K. I’m going to start this blog off with the epitomy of “hole in the wall,” Kalakaua Plate Lunch. It’s one of those places where you wonder how the hell they past health inspection. But hey, ignorance is bliss- as long as it taste good, and it causes no pain while in or coming out I don’t want to know. The place is 200 maybe 250 square ft, large enough to store four small tables. The menu was handwritten on a large white board and also on white typing paper held to the wall by scotch tape. Behind the register stood a little Asian man. He held a matter of fact attitude and was an impressive one man army.
I order the kalua pork. All their plates came with steamed rice and macaroni salad. If your new to the Hawaiian food scene you’ll soon find out that macaroni salad is big here. It’s usually smuthered very generously with creamy mayonaise. This macaroni salad was Asianfied with a slight hint of white pepper. The pork was dry and almost a little crispy in some areas. I thought it was just good. But you see I have a gift, I thnk everything is good. I’m one of those people that can eat anything and convince myself that it’s good. However, I do know the difference between just good, and I’ll take the back boobs, give me more, that was amazing. So when I say that it was just good, that’s not saying much. Real kalua pork is so juicy and tender that it melts in your mouth the instant it enters your mouth. So needless to say, this did not give real kalua pork any justice.
I guess I should of just stuck to Chinese food at a Chinese restaurant. Shane, my fiance’s trusty side kick ordered the small order of kun pao chicken. The great thing about this place is that they give portion options, small and full. The small portions ran about $4.15 and the full ran about $5.50. His kun pao was delicious. He offered me a taste, and when he wasn’t looking I allowed myself some more, strictly for blog research purposes.
Ray, my fiance, ordered a fish sandwich. It looked boring, like something that came out of a drive through. I asked him how it was, and he said,”ehhh,” but his face said, it was edible.
Within the menu I found items like a cheese burger for $1.55, a shrimp burger for $2.00 and a soda for .75. As far as prices go this place definitely kicks ass. They also get an A for being environmentally conscious since I did see a box of recyclable items atop the garbage can. As for cleanliness, well if that’s a big issue for you, I suggest you order take out.
