Near perfect pork belly slices from the Korean grocery store.
Pork Belly
Almost like a siren calling, had to get ’em.
Par-boiled, washed. Water, shoyu, dark shoyu, sugar, liquor. Slow simmer for two hours.
Shoyu Pork!
“Like buttah”. Hee hee.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Monday’s activity.
Since we kinda sorta were in the vicinity.
Location
The Cat tried the ramen stall
The Cat’s Ramen
With “ginger chicken”. The Mouse had a taste, tasty, but not much ginger. Maybe the kitchen toned the flavor down for the masses.
The Cat did rave about the soft cooked egg though.
Soft Cooked Egg
She said almost had the texture of Chinese salted egg.
The Mouse tried the “smoke” stall.
The Mouse’s Plate
Pulled pork, papaya slaw, rice, “burnt ends” mac ‘n’ cheese. The pulled pork was a substitute for The Mouse’s original order of crispy pork “al pastor”. The pork and slaw were okay. The Mac ‘n’ cheese saved the day. The sauce with the mac ‘n’ cheese was tasty. Even then, the sauce kinda overwhelmed the “burnt ends”.
The Mouse is not so big on barbecued pulled pork, he rather have kalua pork (or Chinese roast pork, with crispy skin). So to have the server claim the pulled pork is better? Sigh.
To take home, stopped by the Chocolate Bar.
Package
Jabong, or pomelo.
Dark Chocolate Dipped Jabong Peel
The Mouse likes dried pomelo peel (Chinese style, sugar glazed), on this peel, the sugar is not as prominent as in Chinatown. The dip makes up for it. Not bad.
In our humble opinion, the prices at The Street are a bit on the high side, but, considering it’s located in the middle of Waikiki, not too bad.
Since The Cat and The Mouse are not “tourists”, there are other places outside of Waikiki that probably less expensive, and give a little more food quantity. But, try try.
So, we were sorta nearby because The Cat wanted to float a lantern for her father (ten-year anniversary since his passing) at the lantern floating ceremony held every Memorial Day.
Enjoy. Eat well.

End of the week, end of the pork rib soup.
The Cat got her bowl.
Pork Rib Noodle Soup with Mustard Green
There was one lonely rib left. Coated it with some red miso, popped it in the toaster oven to warm …
Pork Rib – Miso Flavor
Not BBQ (no smoke), but tasty just the same.
Not sure what next week will bring.
Have a great weekend.
Enjoy. Eat well.

And pork! Finally!
Breakfast
“Nuked” frozen vegetables catsup (forgot that I ran out of vinaigrette). Didnʻt Prez Reagan say catsup was a vegetable? Hee hee.
Veggies (and sometimes fruit) in the morning, less guilt if the opportunity arises for indulging later in the day.
The draught ends.
Lunch
Picked up just before the kitchen switches to lunch. “Breakfast” sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese, with a little substitution/modification.
Out with the cheese, in with the shiso
Because, dairy issues, ʻnuf said.
Dinner, more greens.
Turnip Tops
Both boiled and raw.
The Cat had a bowl of noodles and mustard greens with fried tofu.
The Catʻs Bowl
Just in case, tomorrowʻs schedule may be interrupted due to The Mouse getting a little (read minor, minimally invasive) structural repair done. Doc said I might be a little slow and clumsy for a day or so. We will see.
I know, the relatives that read this are probably thinking “since when is he not clumsy or slow”. Ugh!
Enjoy. Eat well.

One of the pork foot segments, slowly steamed overnight.
Pork Hock
A splash of whiskey, salt, pepper.
On the way home, picked up an order of vegetarian chili from Zippy’s.
Assemble.
Mouse Dindin
Pork shank (not veal or lamb), Zippy’s vegetarian chili, side greens.
Osso bucco? Cassoulet? Not even close, but The Mouse liked. 🙂
You might be thinking vegetarian chili with pork? Sounds contrary, but of all their chili, their vegetarian is the best. Plus, regular chili and pork hock would be way too much meat.
Enjoy. Eat well.
