Lasoon Butter Chicken Mini Plate | $12.45
It’s great to have a good Indian food establishment on campus. I was feeling like Indian last week so I got myself a mini plate and a samosa (Honestly, I wanted the samosa most). This butter chicken is sweeter than I expected, and didn’t contain as much spices and I would have liked. I enjoyed the cabbage side dish and the basmati rice. I got some acid reflux after eating this but that could just be me and the tomato based dish. I do want to return and try the lamb curry next time!
Miyakonjo Bento & Catering Seafood Katsu Combo Plate | $11.45
choice of 1 pc fried Hoki or Aji (Mackerel) with 2 pc Oyster katsu and 1 pc soy milk cream croquette. Comes with fresh tossed salad and furikake rice. Sauce and dressings are on the side.
We had a staff training retreat last week and decided to check out Miyakonjo, I never heard of them before and boy are they located deep in the Kalihi industrial area but what a find. Super great deal on their plates and bentos and it was super good. The salad comes with a small container of goma dressing. I got spicy house made tartar sauce for my katsu and it was delicious! I got the hoki as my fish – every piece was perfectly fried and I finished it all lol. Very good!
Baked You a Smile Hawaii | Kulolo Filled ChiChi Dango
My wonderful friend picked up this mochi from a pop-up market and we both have been wanting to try this place for a while. I’ve been super curious about how this would taste and wow, it is super soft and delicious. Only drawback is that you have to eat this fresh. The mochi stays super soft when refrigerated but the kulolo becomes rock hard. So good! Would recommend! Also, follow them on IG because they are at different locations from week to week!
I gotta try Miyakonjo. I’ve passed by and wondered about it. I just looked at their online site and gotta go!!!! Thanks!
