Day off – North Shore, HI

So as I have mentioned before, I was super stressed in December with a lot of different projects at work.  When my final project was complete, I totally took a vacation the day after.  Since I was taking the day off, I wanted to make it a productive one and I certainly think I did!  We drove out to Wahiawa to try Sunny Side Bakery, then up to the North Shore to get shrimp for lunch.  The day ended with dinner and a movie, while that included a lot of “doing,” I felt completely relaxed!  Let me share some pictures!

140109-01Pupukea Beach Park.  There was a guy sitting up front forever which ruined all our shots.  I finally got this when he left…hehe.

140109-02Oops, I’ll share my breakfast at Sunny Side in another post!  Here was our lunch!  Romy’s is my favorite, hands down.

140109-03I usually get the number 5 with prawns but they didn’t have too many prawns that day so I had to settle for number 4.  The prawns that comes in the number 5 are HUGE.  But these did the trick for now.

140109-04Butter and Garlic Shrimp – number 1 plate.  Look at all that garlic.  That’s how life should be.  Garlic filled.  Delicious as always.

140109-05Connie’s shave ice.  LOL…she really wanted sprinkles so we asked for it.  The owner was definitely taken aback but did it (well we paid for it so why would she say no right?).  Connie loved it with sprinkles.  I doubt you can find many shave ice places with sprinkles ready as a topping…lol

    Next time you’re up north, try Papa Ole’s Kitchen in Hau’ula. I think you’ll like it. I love their pulehu thick-cut short ribs med-rare. Very nice and friendly place.

  2. Hey Lance! Never heard of this place so thanks for sharing! It sounds amazing, I will definitely try to get there next time.

    I hope you get a chance to go there. One of my favorite places. Really nice to sit outside and enjoy. Plus you could stroll down the mall to Tamura’s Market and Long’s. LoL!!!
