Sidetracked

Today’s plan was to try an udon place in town. The original shop is in Waikiki, always a line out the door. They recently opened a branch downtown. A little (not much) easier to access.

The Cat doesn’t particularly like udon, so I figured it would be okay to try the place without her. But like a real mouse, I got sidetracked.

On the way to the the restaurant, passed a hole-in-the-wall store front.

Storefront

No sign indicating name, steam table off to the right of the picture, in a doorway.

What particularly caught my eye was this.

Prices

Being that the owner wanted to close, she offered to make a plate of whatever for $5.00. Sounds like a plan.

Plate Lunch

The whole thing must’ve weighed at least a couple of pounds (three at least). Brown rice, eggplant with minced pork, ung choi, vegetable omelet, and steamed broccoli.

Ung Choi and Eggplant Detail

Huge amount of food. Only comment, and this is nitpicking, lots of fish sauce and garlic in the seasoning. Really had to brush teeth before my shift at Willie’s.

Given the opportunity, I would buy lunch from there again.

Enjoy. Eat well.
