WHOA!  Super strong Kona winds!

Stay safe and stay dry!  Stay home.

 

If you noticed we don't see Hama as much as before, he's been busy mastering Wing Foiling and now Tow Foiling!

pc: Tedford

 

 

 

I heard the Tonkatsu sandwich from KatsuSando was good. Yesterday we went to try it.

The truck was at Kaiser High School yesterday.

 

 

The bread is super, super soft and the pork is lean and tender with a delicate crunch!

Winnah!

 

 

I had to try the Wagyu Menchi Burger too!

Another winnah!  Same delicate crunch on a Wagyu patty filled with cheese!  OMG!

 

 

Furikake Fries were good too!

Not healthy but super ono!

 

I'm back to healthy eating today.

No surf for me today.

Taking care of some neglected household duties, gotta keep my honey happy!

 

A while back, Dora and I went to Little Plum...

Little Plum is in the Manoa Marketplace.

 

 

We started with the Daikon Salad - I liked it!

 

 

Dora ordered the Menchi Katsu - Kind of a deluxe Loco Moco!

 

 

I went for the Fried Chicken Adobo Teishoku - YUM!!!

 

 

We had to try the Mochi Churro - Excellent but very sweet, had to take most home.

 

 

Check it out! You get to leave with a Little Plum candy!

No Foiling today, I gotta work. Hahaha!

I want to help my Father in-law with some house work.

 

 

Last night Dora and I got a treat for dinner!

Tonkatsu Tamafuji in Kapahulu.

It's almost impossible to get a reservation and people wait outside for hours sometimes.

We were very lucky to be gifted a reservation last night.

 

 

Ono pickled vegetables and sesame seeds you grind yourself for pure freshness!

You can choose from two different Tonkatsu sauces to add to your sesame seeds.

 

 

I chose the Seasoned rice and Red Miso soup with Clams! Winnahs!

 

 

We both got the Pork Loin Katsu. Dora chose the 240G size, I went for the 300G size. We also both got a single Oyster Katsu add-on!  Winnah-Winnah!!

You get unlimited Rice and unlimited Cabbage salad too!

 

 

Less GO!

Gotta go for it, who knows when we will be back again!

Day 3 with this cold but it feels like a week.

I'm feeling better today but not 100% yet.

 

Hoping to feel even better tomorrow, so Pho, so good.  😂

This cold got me down another day.

 

Keeping it simple

 

Thursday 02-27-2025

Waves: 1+ Feet

Wind: Anykine, mostly onshore

Gotta go check it out despite the south wind forecasts.

 

When I first got here, there was no wind but soon after the South-East winds were getting stronger.

 

 

Waves were small, sloppy and ugly!

As we're standing around talking story, it started to clean up!  Maybe can?  Claude and Eric paddled out.

 

 

 

Aiiiiyahhh!  Thumbs down!

 

Come on down tomorrow!

 

 

============================

From yesterday...

Dora and I went to the Pieology in Aina Haina for lunch.

 

 

All three was winnahs!!!

(The green sauce is pesto)

 

Presidents' Day 02-17-2025

Moderate South winds today, maybe East side? maybe Kahana? 

I'll make it a rest day.  

 

For your drooling pleasure...

Last week we went to try Kamitoku in the Ward Centre.

 

 

Gyoza - Plump and crisp!

You can mix your own sauce from the shoyu and vinegar on the table.

 

 

Char Siu Bowl - Melt in your mouth!

 

 

Dora loves her Tsukemen - This one was winnahs!

 

 

My chilled Vegetarian Ramen - Fresh and healthy!

 

 

 

I was in Ewa the other day and gave Ono Thai a try.

 

 

Calamari appetizer - SUPER crispy and good!

 

 

Pad Thai

 

 

Panang Curry

 

Every dish was great and the prices were good!

Dora and I wish they were closer to home, but might have to drive out again.
