Saimin! :)

Probably The Mouse’s favorite type of noodle, must be from small-kid hanabata time. A quick lunch woud be a package of S&S saimin.

The Mouse’s lunch. Started with a container of Okuhara saimin (the other small-kid hanabata days brand).

Frozen Saimin

The containers are deluxe, notice the slices of luncheon meat (dunno if SPAM), scrambled egg, green onion, and fish cake (kamaboko).

The Mouse further “accessorized” his bowl, more SPAM (roasted in the toaster oven), wakame, okra, mixed vegetables. Instead of the flavor packet, too much salt, The Mouse seasoned with a little salt, black pepper, and low sodium shoyu, that way he controlled the salt content.

Oh yeah, the SPAM was the “lite” version too, less fat and salt.

The Mouse had a happy lunch. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Busy Lunch

The Mouse had another doctor’s appointment yesterday. Since he was in town, The Cat sent him on an errand. By the time The Mouse was finished, it was lunch time. Between lunch hour traffic, one way streets, and construction, The Mouse couldn’t get to a few places to take-out. Finally landed at Asian Mix, picked up a roast duck and char siu on rice plate.

Roast Duck, Char Siu, Rice, Choi Sum

Huge portion, reasonably priced. The Mouse barely ate a quarter. Half of the duck, about half of the rice, and a lot of the choi sum went into The Cat’s bento for the next day. Half of the duck and a few stalks of choi sum went to The Cat’s dinner noodle bowl.

Noodle Bowl

Along with spaghetti pasta and canned bamboo shoots.

Another quarter of the rice portion and the remaining char siu is for The Mouse’s lunch today. 🙂

Priced out, each portion comes to three dollars and change. Not bad, “cheap eats”.

Stay safe and well.

Ahi Noodle Soup?

Not chicken. The Cat’s lunch yesterday, not porkchop.

Ahi Pasta

The Cat brought a mousie bag home for The Mouse to try. sauce was soupy, dish reminded The Mouse of chicken noodle soup but with ahi instead of chicken. Not bad, homey comfort food. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Sorta “Cheap Eats”

Years ago, The Cat had lunch at the Waikiki branch of Wolfgang’s Steakhouse. At the time the restaurant had lunch specials at special prices. The Cat had an errand in Waikiki yesterday so thought to check it out again.

The lunch specials are still offered but the soup and salad combo was no longer on the menu. The Cat ordered just soup.

Lobster Bisque

The Cat thought is was okay. Soup was off of the regular lunch menu, not special priced Chef H’s is better.

The Mouse ordered the classic burger. Special lunch priced.

Classic Burger

The Mouse requested rice substitute for fries and onion rings because The Mouse also ordered fish and chips to share with The Cat. Too much fried sides. 🙂

Price for the burger was half of the regular lunch menu. The Mouse was happy. Coarse ground beef.

Fish and Chips

Also on the lunch special menu. Fish and chips is not a regular lunch item so could not determine the “cheap eats’ factor, but price was reasonable.

If in the neighborhood, The Mouse wouldn’t mind revisiting for another burger. But be warned, parking is a b****.

Stay safe and well.

Grill Marks

The Cat’s lunch yesterday.

Pork Chop

Beautiful yeah?

The Cat finished the rice and vegetables. Forgot to bring home the leftover pork chop. I guess The Mouse just has to wait another day. Sigh. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.
