To cool off after the pineapple goodness from earlier in the day, we headed north to Matsumoto's Shaved Ice, which my aunt and uncle brought me to a few years back. We needed something cool before we started shrimp trucking for super sweet tasting Kahuku shrimp... drowned in butter and garlic!!

Rating Food 8/10, Serive 7.5/10
For a family dinner in the recent past (yes, I know, I need to post these up earlier!), we went to the decadently decorated Golden Rice Bowl. The gold, red, gold and more red decor is almost overwhelming when you first walk in. We initially were going to go with one of the set meals, but some wanted fresh lobster, while others wanted fresh crab, so we eventually put together our own 10 course meal from the menu. But onto the food!

Taking a shopping break from meandering, picking up gifts and bumming around at the Ala Moana Mall, we go in search of something to keep us going so we could shop some mores! Skipping by the yogurt shops, and distracted by a tea shop (yes, I picked up some gifts here for my family)..our eye was caught by... pretzels! A simple twist of baked and salted dough that can bring back warm and fuzzy nostalgic childhood memories. In we go!!

Food 7.5/10
Used to frequent here a lot, but I haven't been here in years, and the memory of an excellent decadently rich tuna bianco thin crust pizza with onions, olives and drizzled with lots of olive oil brought me back. Sadly they don't make it anymore, so went with a different pizza this time around. Tucked conveniently in the University campus area, and with its own free parking out front, with a decent selection of wines, a good coffee bar, gelato counter, various panninis and pizzas, there's lots to choose from whether you're planing on snacking or having lunch/dinner.

We met up with Kimchee for a day in beautiful and sunny Honolulu during her honeymoon while me and my boyfriend were hitting up the beaches and food scene before we jaunted off to Maui. And since her only request was "I want non-stop food and maybe some holes in the walls", we gleefully drew up a list of places we wanted to hit up for a full day of non-stop eating, tossed bottles of ice water and sunscreen into the convertible, off we go!!
