April 15

Deadline for filing taxes. Ugh.

Hopefully the last day that The Cat has to eat lunch at her desk. So for a while, the last home lunch for The Cat (made by The Mouse).

The Cat's Lunch Bowl

Rice, rehydrated mushrooms, turnip greens, and shrimp.

Used up the rest of the shrimp for my lunch.

With shiso leaves. Dressed with a sesame oil, ShaoXing wine, salt and shichimi togarashi to taste. I cut the shrimp into bite sized pieces and wrapped them in  the shiso leaves. Yum!

We ventured into Waikiki today. We rarely visit Waikiki. The lack of parking or the high cost of parking are one of the reasons. However, we were given a twenty-four hour validation and were reimbursed for the minimum fee, so we decided to seek lunch after our business.

Our host suggested here.

Jinroku (2427 Kuhio Avenue, Honolulu, Hawai’i). Not on the main drag, wouldn’t have found it on our own, our host walked us over.

In our opinion,  dinner is a little pricey, but they offer plate lunch specials.

Lunch Specials

The Cat ordered grilled salmon, The Mouse ordered spicy pork. Since the prices were reasonable given we were in Waikiki, we also ordered the vegetarian plate (for veggies).

I don’t know what I was thinking about my spicy pork, but when the chef brought out thinly sliced belly pork and threw it on the flat-top, I started to get excited.

Sorry, the picture just doesn’t do the belly pork justice.

Grilled Salmon

The Cat thought the fish was a little overcooked. While the salmon could have been rarer, I thought it was okay.

Spicy Pork

Spicy Pork

Belly pork, grilled with kimchi, fried egg, on a bed of rice. Side greens and macaroni salad. Socks off. I would definitely order this again. Better yet, I think I can make this at home. No flat-top, but I think this will work on the fry pan.

Vegetarian

Best part of this dish was the grated turnip on top of the tofu. Good amount of veggies.

Everything under thirty dollars, in Waikiki. relative cheap eats.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Found these at the Korean supermarket near The Cat’s office (not mall food).

Seaweed Kelp Rolls

Cucumber, red bell pepper, carrot, and imitation crab meat all rolled up in kelp (OMG, gluten-free and almost vegetarian and raw!), with a bit of mayonnaise. Since the veggies and seaweed were raw, crunch, chew, chew, chew, crunch, chew, chew, chew, crunch, chew, chew, chew (you get the idea) (very slow eating).

It was good. Not socks off good, but healthy good. Not sure I would buy these again though. The chew factor kind of got in the way. Still, good to try.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Epic Postponed

The “pork-fest” I mentioned previously got postponed. Sigh.

Then I thought we could go to this place that supposed to make decent Shanghai style dumplings. No takers. Sigh again.

Ended up at home, eating “cat food” (that’s what The Cat call my canned food concoctions).

Someone gave The Cat a package of instant seaweed soup.

Instant Soup

There’s about six individual packets in this bag. The individual packets contain dried seaweed, dried shrimp, a packet of powdered soup, and a packet of sesame seed oil (sorry forgot to take a picture).

For The Cat, I threw together some lentils, quinoa, the seaweed soup ingredients, look funn noodles, white stemmed cabbage, and some sliced white mushrooms.

The Cat’s Food

The Cat deemed it decent, although she thought the soup packet was a little salty (use half next time).

For myself, some black rice, a can of tuna, and a sauté of celery, white stemmed cabbage, and some white mushrooms in butter (I had to indulge in something).

Not bad actually for throwing things together. Oh well, there’s always next week.

Plus, if everything goes according to plan, pork will be involved with tomorrow’s lunch. Hoping for the best.

Eat well.
