Road Trip (Mini)

A little road trip to the north side of the island (to light a bic). A stop at the converted Kahuku Sugar Mill on the way back, it’s become a “village” of food stands and food trucks. A little too early. The Cat and The Mouse waited.

Street Tacos

According to The Cat, yesterday was take The Mouse to work day. The Cat has been having a little bit of minion issues. The Mouse volunteered to lend a small paw.

Nearby is a small take-out “taco stand” The Mouse yelped and wanted to try.

Stand

A kiosk near Aloha Tower. Owner/Chef super friendly. Started the business when his kids missed authentic Mexican cuisine, they’re originally from southern Mexico. Asked him to recommend his best for a newbie. The taco plate.

Three Taco Plate

One pork, one chicken chipotle, one carne asada. mixed greens and a small dessert. All for a tenner. Deal! 🙂 all three were really flavorful but if The Mouse were to choose, it would be chicken (because of the heat), pork, then carne asada.

Also picked up a burrito plate for The Cat’s dinner. no picture, a foil bundle, but also included the mixed greens and dessert. And two horchata made with almond milk option.

The Mouse will definitely be back. Chef is recommending his molletes plate next. The Mouse can’t wait. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

More Odd and Taco Tuesday

A continuation from yesterday’s “odd”. The Cat’s breakfast.

Blueberry Muffins

From the bakery and sushi place. Bought a couple of things to “try”. Originally wanted two but they were the last three and owner? gave a discount if I took them all. Being “pake” …

Cat got two yesterday, they’re sized that one not be enough, and two a scosh too much. The Cat liked them though.

One more “odd” update tomorrow.

One of my co-workers suggested I try the taco Tuesday across the street of the church. Thought I posted about it once but she didn’t see it, and I can’t remember (senior moment).

So, this one’s for you M.

Fish Tacos

$2.25 each (taco Tuesday price). Sized between bite-sized (maybe three bites?) and what I would consider “full-sized”. Grilled fish, South Shore Grill slaw. Not bad for pupu but I was still hungry after.

Me personally? Still not a taco fan (sorry M, I tried). Maybe cultural, but give me a slow simmered pork belly bao bun with kimchi and/or plum sauce over a taco anyday. Maybe its just that I haven’t met the right taco yet. Is there a “match.com” site for food. Hey there’s a thought. Heh heh.

Sorry, kinda a slow day yesterday. But, it happens.

Enjoy. Eat well.
