    Re: What's For Dinner - Chapter 1

    Last night, rubber chicken (but a KILLER chocolate-raspberry dessert) at some charity auction at a hotel --- our halau did a brief show there, but at least they fed us, which is a rarity at these shows. (They also auctioned off a lu`au/show by our halau; brought a winning bid of $1250 - they are getting a bargain.)
    Yesterday's lunch was better, though - but that's a different thread.

        The Hawaii Association of Podcasters met at Shokudo near Ala Moana for dinner last night. My wife and I found a sitter, so it was a rare treat to be out together. A good mix of menu items, from fancy shmancy to simple comfort foods. Tasty, and well presented.

        We had pressed unagi sushi, gyoza, spicy fried chicken (a "seasonal special"), rice and a great bowl of clam miso soup. Since it's 'family style,' we also got to sample our tablemates' unagi rice ishikaya (they mush it up for you if you like), Spicy Tuna Roll and Grilled Yuzu Pepper Chicken, too.

        A very neat place - good food and a great ambiance and energy.

        Our very own glossyp introduced us to the place. She's even got a coupon online for a free soft drink (or half of a domestic beer). Check it out... highly recommended.

        Dinner tonight? A simple tuna casserole. I'm looking forward to that, too!

          Tonight, steaks and all the requisite expensive s--+ that goes with a company holiday party, for the Alpha Female's law firm - Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Man, do those attorneys like to party hard! And I have to get up in the morning tomorrow to do a radio show...

            Ah yes, next to Pietro's. I was always curious about that place. Thanks for the review. We'll certainly check it out.

            A few night's ago, my GF brought me home this delicous Chicken Curry topped over Udon Noodles from a place called Misuzu, just before Long's Moili'ili across the old stadium park.

            The texture of the Udon (thick Japanese noodles) with the nice & flavorful Chicken Curry was sugoi oishii desu.

            GF had the Oyaku Donburi, which she also said was delicious.

            Misuzu is a small hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant just after this Japanese church and some other church. There's also a Vietnamese restauraunt near it. It's run by an older Japanese family who speaks little engrish. But the food (and prices) are so good!

              What a nice thread. And appropriate too. I was driving home today from school, wondering what's for dinner. The weather today in Virginia is cold and rainy, the kind my wife calls "sinigang-y." So when we talked on the phone briefly, I said I'd stop by the Asian grocer and pick up some items for Filipino soup called sinigang. I make it my way, naturally.

              green papaya
              yard long string beans (sitaw)
              bok choy
              pigs' feet
              tamarind sinigang powder mix

              Serve with rice and you have a meal to warm up to.

              Of course my son gave me da eye when saw me thawing the pigs' feet. Kids. Phweh.

                Making homemade beef enchiladas and also some chicken enchiladas with a green chili sauce (lots of cheese of course too). Also some Spanish rice and refried beans. The one thing I've loved about living in Southern California, learning how to cook Mexican food! Or at least Southern California's version of Mexican food.
                I'm disgusted and repulsed, and I can't look away.

                    The wife brought Korean food home from Hibiscus in Aina Haina. Pretty standard stuff: bbq chicken, bbq beef, meat jun. But the there was also something new for me: kim chee soup.

                    WIFE: "Try it, it's not that hot."

                    ME: "Uh, but it's all red."

                    WIFE: "Don't worry, I asked for medium."

                    As I slurped a spoonful of the soup my nose immediately began running, my eyebrows fell out and my okole trembled in fear for the soup's eventual exit journey.

                    Turns out when she ordered "medium", they gave her the size "medium." The spicy-ness, I suspect, was "napalm."


                    RE: Shokudo
                    Ate there last Friday night. OMfreakingG, you MUST eat the honey toast!! The honey toast dessert is so brok da mout. (Tomato kim chee was good, too. As was the mochi cheese au gratin. But the honey toast... drool.)

                              Currently making baked macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, corn on the cob and bisquits. Also made a big pitcher full of raspberry iced tea to go with. Ono!

                                Tonight I'm making green papaya chicken and brown rice. This is real manong kine comfort food on a cold night. I first had it in K'Kai at Oviedo's.
