Try Try Late Lunch

A Murphy’s Law kinda schedule yesterday. The Mouse felt like he was on an exercise wheel, running but going nowhere. Hee hee.

Doctor’s appointment took longer than expected, Costco line was horrendous, See’s Candies pick up, Japanese bakery pick up. By the time The Mouse started hunting for lunch, it was almost 2:00.

Chinese restaurant next to Japanese bakery. Lunch buffet, okay price, try try.

Fried Rice Noodles, Fried Rice, Chow Funn, Steamed Chicken, and Stir-Fried Vegetables with Beef, Hot Sour Soup

Sweet Sour Pork, Eggplant, Choi Summ, Pork Spare Ribs, Ma Po Tofu, Fried Tofu in Gravy

The Mouse Eats

Considering the food is sitting in warmer trays, not too bad. Price was okay.

Wall Art

Be safe, eat good.

And for those the celebrate, happy mother’s day.

Plumeria House Signature Misoyaki Butterfish, Chicken Marsala with Sauteed Mushrooms (shiitake and morel mushrooms), Atlantic Salmon, Fennel and Orange, Ahi Sashimi, Pickled Ginger, Spring Leg of Lamb (end piece). Mmm x 5. Hee hee.

Dessert Plate

Lilikoi Meringue Tart (best on the plate), Chocolate Mousse Cake (second best), Carrot Pineapple Cake (third), Hot Cross Bun (really dry), Coconut Macaroon (honorable mention), Ginger Snap.

Musical Styling

Brunch music. Other than not too many people were paying attention, it is background music after all, the gig seemed idyllic (fresh air, cool breeze, sunshine). The Mouse left him a small tip just to let him know he was appreciated.

Be well and safe.

Christmas Brunch

The Cat hosted a small-ish group, those that didn’t have plans for Christmas.

Lobby

Roses and orchids. Interesting combo.

The Mouse ate.

Greens

With shrimp cocktail, largest shrimp for shrimp cocktail The Mouse has seen. Kale salad, beet salad, Brussels sprouts, DIY Caesar salad? with whole anchovies. Nom!

Meat

Prime rib and leg of lamb. The Mouse didn’t see the horseradish and used chimichurri on both. No matter, very good. Like Chinese ginger onion sauce (The Mouse’s favorite condiment). 🙂

Summary Plate

More beets, more Brussels sprouts, a bit of ahi and tako poke, slices of cold cuts. More nom.

Dessert

Signature coconut cake, mint chocolate yule log, pistachio something tart, chocolate dipped fruit, and house made mac nut chocolate balls (which were killer), The Mouse went back for a few more of the balls.

Hope you all (or those the celebrate) had a nice Christmas.

First in Line :)

Impromptu buffet dinner. Kuhio Beach Grill. The Cat wanted a staycation during the Thanksgiving weekend, that’s why the posts of Waikiki eating. Now you know. Since we were in the hotel, try try. Early bird discount. The Cat used to scoff at early bird discounts (only for senior citizens), now that we are close to senior citizenship? Good deal. Hee hee.

Smoked Salmon

.

Smoked Fish

.

Miso Eggplant and Other Veggies

The Mouse nommed.

.

Roasted Kabocha Squash

Well roasted, there was a spicy seasoning The Mouse was not keen about, but texture was spot on.

Fish Taco

Not bad, fish kinda soggy, maybe fried would’ve been better?

Roast Beef

Price was kinda middle of the road, discount made it even better, not gourmet, but decent buffet food. Fairly priced Weekday deals even better.

The Cat and The Mouse will make excuse to get here during weekday. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.
