Nom Nom: Nobu Waikiki

Hooray for the New Year! and Hooray for another Birthday celebration!

I was very lucky to get to try Nobu Waikiki for my birthday, and even though the weather was cold, windy, and rainy all week, this definitely made me a very happy camper. 

Service was awesome, and the ambiance was very chic. 

Lanterns hanging all around the restaurant. Kind of a Moroccan theme.

King Crab tempura...delicious. Make sure you mix it with the sauce.

Japanese eggplant and tofu tempura.

Shrimp tempura sushi.

Roasted spring vegetables.

And my favorite of the night...Ribeye steak with three sauces. The balsamic teriyaki was ONO!

For dessert, the bento box. Chocolate flourless cake with green tea ice cream. Did not want to share this. Haha.

Nom Nom: d.k. Happy Hour

 It is quite possible that I have stumbled upon the best happy hour that Hawaii has to offer.  I absolutley love d.k.'s because they have theeee greatest cut of beef (only steakhouse on the island that offers authentic in-house dry aged beef!) but since I can't always afford to ballah out I have to find a way to please my stomach and my wallet.  With $5 appetizers and drink specials, d.k. hits the bulls-eye.

My new favorite drink! Otokoyama, Iichiko, and Umeshu with slices of cucumber!

The spread

Braised Pork Quesadilla

d.k. Steakhouse Sliders with Sweet Potato Fries

Tater Tots!! Soooo yummy, stuffed with jalapenos, bacon & cheddar cheese, topped with parmesan cheese & a drizzle of Garlic Oil.

Calamari Fritto

Apple Cobbler ala Mode!!

Chocolate-Chocolate Decadence Cake

We were quite full after all the delicious food and drinks, but all I kept thinking about was how I wanted to come back the next day for more!  I held back, but I will be back again soon.

Shout out to Nikki and Abby for making the best cocktails and for the yummy desserts!

Nom Nom: Kimukatsu!

Yay for date night! At the suggestion of one of our friends, we decided to venture into Waikiki and try out this cute little restaurant! On Lewers Street, after Moose Mcgillycuddy's and before Genius Lounge, this hidden gem is definitely a treat for your tastebuds!

Nom: On Dong Chinese Restaurant

Hanging out with my brother has taken me to all these places that remind me of being in Korea.  He had been talking about korean black noodle the last time that we ate so I was super excited for our lunch.  When we rolled up to this place and I looked at the sign "On Dong Chinese Restaurant" I thought, this is not a Korean Restaurant!! Then we walked in and were greeted with "anyonghaseyo" and I was instantly transported to Korea.  (minus the one table with 3 local boys)  I asked my brother and his friend what was good here and they replied; only three things.  The menu had millions of choices like most Chinese restaurants, but as you looked around at the tables they all had the same dishes. Even the local boys were slurping up the black noodles and the spicy noodles.  So I followed suit, and we ordered: Ja Jang Myun, Sam Sun Jyambon and Gan Poon Chicken.  The food was delicious, spicy, and I kept eating even though I was full because it all tasted soooo good.  It's not fancy inside by any means, but when you cook food this good who cares cause you will leave very satisfied and happy!

Nom: BACON!

Eat the Street had their monthly gathering of food trucks and this was one event I was not about to miss since the theme was B-A-C-O-N.  (quite possibly the best garnish, main dish, dessert and versatile meat out there)  We got there early to avoid the lines and get the dishes before they sold out; but we weren't able to try them all so I hope that they bring the BACON theme back again or the truck continue to make these delicious bacon dishes.

Nom Nom: Doraku Sushi

Another delightful and much needed girl's night out. This time we chose to venture into Waikiki and eat at Doraku Sushi. Goooooooooood food. I highly recommend the chilean sea bass...don't let the small size fool you, it was every bit of goodness in every bite. Also, it's a great spot for Happy Hour,  5-7pm everyday!

Spending time with good friends and catching up over good food is the best way to start any weekend.

Service was great, and the bartender knew exactly what we needed after a tough week.
