I’ve been wanting to try Island Glazed for such a long time but they are located out in Aiea and I am never out there so imagine my surprise when we got a special treat surprise at work! And we got a mix of their coolest flavors! So thankful to work with such nice people. They have really interesting flavors like strawberry mango, lihing pineapple, etc. Good donuts! The office ate them up!
I’ve talked about this brand before because when I went to Korea, the sold their garlic bread potato wedges at Costco and that was GOBBLED up. No garlic bread potato wedges in the U.S. (yet) but I found these mixed mushroom crisps at Sam’s Club! It’s very interesting. Similar to the wedges, the mushrooms are whole but somehow taste hollow? How do I explain that? You bite into it and it’s a bit hard to crunch down onto but it just doesn’t have a solid meaty mushroom structure. Hard to explain, you gotta try it yourself. Interesting taste, strong umami! Give it a try at Sam’s Club while we still have it!
Le’s Banh Mi – Saigon Special add Roast Pork | $11.50 + $2.00
Yes, I went back again (lol) but this time I wanted to show you a cross section of this glorious sandwich. Yummy…
Costco used to sell the mushroom chips but I think it was only shiitake. Maybe freeze dried to get that airy texture but how does that hard crunch come in. I liked it.
Now I want a banh mi!
donut (ahaha, punny) know why I’m not a donut fan but I love cinnamon rolls and apple fritters
My favorite donut is glazed. Kimuraya Bakery across the Kaimuki Library had the best glazed donuts – sweet, light, airy and big. But then they closed down. Sigh. Zippy’s is a pretty good second best. Not too greasy and just right.
I’ve been down with a bad cold this week and having hot and sour soup with an extra dash of apple cider vinegar every day for days. Maybe I need a banh mi sandwich from Le’s too! Hmmm. My cough is pretty much subsided today…
yummy mixed plate friday!
I know there are all these great donut places on social media..pricey too. I tried a trending one years ago cuz it had funky names like unicorn farts or some such. Over $5 per and made fresh. Yeah…not so much. It was just a dense, thick overly sweet donut. Tastes like Safeway to me. I do love Zippy’s crispy donut, it’s light and airy and not too sweet. American sweets are overwhelming sweet. I liked your recommendation of 711’s but then they glazed it and just killed it, too sweet. I noticed it’s no longer sold there or the boxed ones…they were made by the Patisserie. I even wrote them, but no response.
