What's wrong with folks eating dark chocolate?

Nothing. It's pretty much all I'll eat, chocolate-wise.

Went to King Eggroll this morning for a little yam cha.

3 steamed cha siu bau
3 shrimp with cilantro/chives
3 siu mai
and... (drum roll) 1 egg roll


A good breakfast. :woot:

Hey, PCM's got the right idea, actually, hahah. Dim sum-ness is traditionally Chinese breakfast stuffs!

Just in time for Chinese new year (02/09/05, actually the year 4702 on the Chinese lunar calendar)!!!!

KUNG HEE FAT CHOY!!!!!

here in hawaii, eastern garden's pretty good for yam cha. let's see, i've eaten yam cha at a million places, but i always forget their names. there's that one restaurant on the 3rd flr of the ala moana hotel - pretty good, but kinda expensive. empress in downtown has great dim sum at really good prices. hm, got me craving it again. :sweat:

Can't say that I do the yum cha thing: A big mug of green tea, a banana, and some graham crackers are my typical workweek breakfast. :sweat:

Had a steak plate from Times Supermarket for dinner. Oishikatta! :mrgreen:

Went to Davis yesterday and ate at Fuji's. Yummy spider rolls.

We got ours from the Beretania Times (Every Wednesday they sell steak or salmon plate). For $6.25 you get 2 scoops rice, salad and a good portion of steak all cut up already. Or if you prefer, you can just by steak by the pound.

beretania times is a little too far for me, but nice to know that all the times have it. i've seen the signs up at aiea times.

gotta share this with you guys: i was at cuu long (the vietnamese rest inside of pearl kai) last night, eating pho. love the stuff.

anyways, this older lady on the table besides us is ordering her hubby and herself. she asks the waitress, 'oh, the chicken pho. is that the one with chicken inside?'

seriously, i sometimes wonder about people.

Hhahaha, too much, too much.

Yeah, I heard about that Beretania Times deal. Heard the plate is quite decent. Heh, too bad I don't eat red meat anymore.

Sorry. Can't agree with the Vietnamese food enjoyings, Mr. jholic. The island boy in me just screams, "THAT's not the 'sticky rice' I know!" (or am I getting this confused with Thai food? Or that gelatinous thing that I hate shared by both cuisines?). But, more power to you, sir. Also, have you tried Fook Yuen? Or Phuket Thai (how do you pronounce that, by the way :hehe: ).

I'm in one of my "tired of eating white rice" phases, which, yes, is rare. I've been gunning for Mexican food lately. Cholo's in Haleiwa's pretty darn good. So is Compadre's. Maybe I'll stop by on the way home today. :thumbsup:

oh, man. i loooove vietnamese food. i used to eat it like four times a week. (and, yes, i think the rice you're thinking about is jasmin rice - which is thai, i believe). i like thai food too. (it's poo-ket thai). i've eaten at almost every restaurant at mccully's. phuket is pretty darn good. fook yuen has great chinese food. want an awesome plate lunch? regal diner on the corner has this ono honey garlic chicken plate. broke da mouf.

i like mexican food, but hardly eat it. my friends and i went to eat at that one small restaurant in pearl city. one of my buds likes the carne asada burrito there. said it tastes authentic, and worth the price. i thought it was decent, but don't know mexican food enough to know if it's authentic or not. i think the name starts w/ an 'r'. going waianae on kam hwy, it'll be on your left just before you hit long's.
