Home baked from a neighbor. Neighborly gesture. 🙂
Taiyaki
Japanese fish-shaped filled pancake pastry. The Mouse bought at newly moved/opened Japanese grocery store at the mall. Traditionally filled with red bean paste. Mmm!
The Mouse serving as driver to The Cat and her school-mate, Waimea Valley Falls. The Mouse was getting kinda tired and didn’t want to attempt the easy hike, sat at the visitor center/staging area. Snack time. 😉
Iced Coffee
Very good coffee, dark and rich but not bitter. For The Mouse, no sugar needed.
Double Chocolate Muffin
The muffin had a slight molten chocolate texture, mmm. The coffee paired very well with the muffin. The Mouse was happy. 🙂
The Mouse also bought a cookie, just in case the wait was over the expected time (it was).
Oatmeal Cookie
Nice. Not as wow as the muffin but more than decent.
After snack, The Mouse went back to the car and took a nap. Hee hee.
The Mouse was in the mood for sushi, not the fancy sushi bar variety but the simpler kind. Picked up two variety packs from the old timey sushi shop near the grocery store, Kozo Sushi. Seems like it’s been there forever.
Sushi Packs
Tamago nigiri, nori maki, inari, shinko maki, cucumber maki, more shinko maki, and tamago maki. Mmm, The Mouse was happy.
The Mouse also picked up a ube cookie from a kiosk vendor specializing in “stuffed” cookies.
Ube Cookie
The Mouse bought an unstuffed cookie. The stuffed cookies sounded much too sweet for The Mouse. The cookie was huge, shared with The Cat, cookie was sweet enough and nommed. 🙂
