Mixed Plate Friday

Fat Pig Fried Rice | $10.95
bacon, kalua pig, portuguese sausage, scrambled egg

Had a quick breakfast at Yogurstory and you can’t go wrong with the fat pig fried rice. I must be getting old because oh man was this dish salty. I really prefer blander foods now other than spicy (ha!). It was very good but I always forget how the dish comes and find myself asking where the portuguese sausage is. It’s just chopped up as part of the fried rice! Duh! Anyway, good dish but like I said…salty and probably get MSG.

Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti | $14.25
including 2 pc garlic bread

Mini Cold Ginger Chicken (all rice) | $9.89

Back at Lucky Box Restaurant again – can’t go wrong with their food. Tried a new dish this time, the garlic shrimp spaghetti. How was it? Good. It’s just garlic shrimp scampi on spaghetti noodles and well, the noodles are a bit bloated because I think they pre-cook it and just throw it into hot water again to warm them up for orders, so yeah…not at all al dente. That’s okay with me though, I like noodles in all shapes, sizes and textures. The garlic shrimp tasted good. And the cold ginger chicken? Well nothing new there, still good as always. I think I like their cold ginger sauce the most of all that I’ve tried. I am pretty sure they add garlic to it too which makes it lip smacking good. Love it!

  1. They all look yummy! When I need a garlic shrimp fix I go to the Giovanni Shrimp place on the 2nd floor above H Mart in Kakaako. And because I love cheap eats, I tried their garlic hot dog for $5. I think I had it on rice instead of bun – and it was really good! Their regular shrimp plates have 12 big shrimps with either garlic or lemon butter for $20 but I get the half plate for $10. Because I am cheap but do enjoy good food.

    • Garlic hot dog?? I’m there! I never knew they had that! And over rice? You read my mind! I’d love to try that!

      Making the kahuku style garlic shrimp is surprisingly easy at home. I used to love Romys for their fresh big prawns but I heard those days are long gone with their new location so I am never out there anymore.
