Senor Frog in Waikiki!

2007-07-28T22:34:00.000-10:00

Aloha!

Today, I not only saw a free concert, but I also went to a new restaurant in Waikiki, Senor Frog. Some may have heard about it...i hear in Cancun Mexico, it can get pretty CALIENTE in the weee hrs! I went there for dinner, not knowing what this place is all about. I was surprised by the energy of the people in the restaurant, not only the employees, but also the customers as well. Its a very nice atomosphere, if you dont mind loud music. They have ONO food and great looking people working there! hahah Oh and the bar stools...are great! I glanced at the bar when we went in, waitng to be seated, and i saw this dude, and thought, OMG look at his plummers ass! hhhaha I looked again, and notice....it was just the bar chairs behind! LMAO Very festive in there! The workers are very very helpful. Oh and they have this big ass bottle of beer, i think it was 67 ounces..check out the pic! hahah You can also check out an article

I had a great time! Got full from the grinds! I had the Frog Leg shot, which was mm mm GOod! I am looking forward to going again sometime soon!

Take it easy!

What are these?!

2007-06-06T12:58:00.000-10:00

OMG What the hell is this?! They say it could replace the Crocs?! Hmm, another pair of ugly shoes! BUT if its comfy, then its all good i guess. What will they come up with next? I can see that these could be comfy...i wonder how it is for walking? Hmm if you dont have luau feet, like some of us do in Hawaii, it could hurt your feet, especially in the area between your big & 2nd toe. Hmm...i have a natural toe separation for slippahz or otherwise known as, "flip flops" heheh
Wonder how much they are charging for that?! They should make it in black...metallic black@ heheh haha
Have a great day you all!

2006-11-20T23:25:00.000-10:00

Yum Yum!! Boy, we had soo much food at the BBQ! A few of us got together and had a bbq...hmm lets see, maybe 23 or so of us! Dont know if you can see all the food we had, but let me name a few items we had...Hope you are not hungry! heheh

Meats...Deep fried Turkey, ribeye, tri tip steak, hot sausage, hotdogs, pocho sausage, scallops, shimp, salmon, clams, beef malaysian curry, gyoza, spring rolls...we also had potato salad, ceaser salad, yakisoba, takana musubi, white rice, spam musubi, daikon w/fishcake, grilled vegi's (onion/sweet peppers)...some suuthern food - black eyed peas, collard greens suuuthern fried chicken, corn bread....ono desserts -- choco cake, passion fruit cheesecake, hoho's. I am not sure if that is all that we had, but i cant think of anything else at this time. All i can say....I WAS FUUUULLLLLL!! I tried to eat a tad bit of everything...but i think all the "appetizer" tastes of steak got to me! heheh Eh, the rule is, if you by the grill, and meat is ready....gotta sample! hehehe Oh well, if it should run out before "others" get a taste..if no help, then oh well! LMAO oh is that mean?! But everyone knows the "rules" of bbq~ing~ heheh Oh I cant wait til the next bbq! I just love bbq's, dont you?!

View from Hilo Hawaiian Hotel Nov 15 2006

2006-11-20T23:08:00.000-10:00

hey there! Like the view?~
Last week, I went to Hilo, Hawaii (Big Island) for a few days for some R&R. I like to go there to relax! Some think I am crazy to go there, but hey, the people are really nice, and i have a few nice friends there! So..why not, right?! Took a few pictures from the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. Had a nice view of the ocean. It was a really nice while i was there. A little voggy, but no rain! First time going to Hilo and it didnt rain! It did rain durin the nite, but i was not outside, so it was all good! If you ever get a change to visit the Big Island, check out Hilo. I prefer Hilo over Kona. Its a little hot in Kona. Some say Kona is much better, cuase there might be a few more things you can do...but lots of tourist there. You be the judge!

yummi yumii!!

2006-11-11T23:56:00.000-10:00

as you can see....here are a few ono looking goodies! And let me tell you, IT WAS ONO!! The round thing is some french puff pastry thingy...pavitiere?! I dunno wat its called, but let me tell you, it was ONO!! A friend of mines made it for my mom's birthday last month. It had an almond paste filling thingy...and OMG it was flaky kind of like a napple..but way ONO~er! hehe The petite goodes were ono too! I really liked the one with the red thingy on it. But actually, all 3 types were ono! I think the one with the coffee bean was a coffee cheesecake thingy. ONO! I wonder what my friend will make next?! heheh Its really nice of him to share these delicious goodies with me!

PF Chang's

2006-11-11T23:29:00.000-10:00

Back in end of Sept, a few friends & I checked out PF Chang's @ Ward. We were very lucky to get seated right away...especially for a party of 12! This is not all the food that we ordered. To tell you the truth, i dont really remember what we ordered! I do know though...the spicy chicken, wrap thingys, mongolian beef, desserts were ONO! We had a really good waiter, unfortunately, i cant remember his name! Basc ially, everyone that had dinner that nite, all agreed the food was good. Then, i went again on another day, for lunch with a few friends...and it was not as good as the dinner! But i guess, all in all, i liked it. Next time i want to try a soup. Oh the lettuce wrap was really good. Oh and the crab wontons. I dont like crab, but i would eat that one! Yeah i know, i am strange like that! LMAO Well, dont take my word for it..you should just try it. I heard they are makin another one in waikiki...Dont know when that one will open up.

I'm on Vacation!

2006-11-11T23:07:00.000-10:00

I am on vacation for 10 days! I am really happy, cuase i have been workin my buttucks off! I am going to Hilo, Hawaii (Big Isle) for a few days of R&R. I am hoping to check out this Japanese Style dessert place...called Two Ladies Kitchen. They have really ONO (Delicious) mochi goodies, as you can see.

When i need a vacation to relax, i always go to Hilo. For some reason, its really relaxing for me. People there are really easy going, and very friendly. Slow paced there...but its nice to get away from Oahu. I hope to take a few nice pictures while there. I am not going to the Volcano Park, cause i have been there many times!

Have a great day...and enjoy Life!!

Koa Pancake House on saturday...

2006-09-04T23:07:00.000-10:00

HAPPY MONDAY!
hope your weekend was a long & good one! I only had my regular 2days off. OH well! hehe I finally got to go to Koa Pancake House in Kaneohe, just round the corner of Windward Mall. I heard the vinadosh (Sp?!) was good...so that is what i tired. It was ok. One of my ex's mom made the best thou!! I also had to try the pancakes...went for the banana pancake. It was good. I kind of like IHOP a little better. I did love the 3 different syrups they have....of course the maple & coconut, and an orange one, with actual little chunks of orange zest! It was not bad at all. I thought the coffee was good. Not too strong, not too weak, perfect! Boy did i have a lot of coffee! It seemed like the pancakes were a popular item. They have quite a bit of stuff on the menu. It was kind of hard to choose something though...u just wanna try everything. I am happy with my choice.
I have yet to try Original Pancake House on Kapiolani. Maybe one of these saturdays i will be able to try it!
Have a wonderful tuesday,..and dont work too hard!
Until....my next blog, which will be in a few heheh
Ciao!

Shanghai Bistro Lunch on Aug 26....

2006-08-28T21:57:00.000-10:00

halo Halo!
How are you? Thought I would share a few pictures of our meal on Saturday. We went to Shanghai Bistro, located in the Discovery Bay 2nd floor. (formerly Dynasty rest). I heard they have a weekend brunch..and pretty resonably priced at $15.95. When I called to see what was on the menu, she said 35 items. Of course its not 100 items like Buffet 100, but it was really good. I thought it was worth the $15.95. You get to eat nicely prepared Shanghai cuisine. They had appetizers, like spring roll, fried gyoza like thingys, salt/pepper shrimp, and a few other items. Rice soup & veg soup. Fried rice, shanghai noodles, lobster something, that pork with fat, boiled eggs (boiled in tea & 5spice), beef/veg, mabo tofu, eggplant, and other things, i dont remember. The dessert area was really nice. Petite cookies & other yummy goodies. As you can see they made tiny cats! It was delicious! its like a manju, but with choco in it. But very small. You gotta eat a bunch of em! We played around, and put a few in mango tapioca, the mochi was ONO! I thought all in all it was nice. Different than the usual places most go to. Its really nice setting in there, all wood and somewhat romantic (well at nite). They have an area where you can lounge. I think they even have jazz on some nites. Try it out, you might like it!

Have a wonderful week & be safe!

Saturdays lunch

2006-08-20T23:15:00.000-10:00

Hey there~
Lets see...saturday i went to Highway Inn in Waipahu for lunch. As you can see from the pictures, they serve Hawaiian food. I have heard bout this place for several years...and always wanted to try it out. So we did. I had the laulau combo (w/kalua pig) and it was like um...$11 something i think. Ok...lets see...i have been to several Hawaiian food eateries..and well, i think Helena's & Ono's are the best so far. Highway Inn was ok, but i dont think they give too much. The pig was good. The pipikaula was oily and "chewy". Haupia was ah...ok. Laulau was ok. One of my friends had beef stew & rice...and i am not sure if she liked it. I did have mac salad instead of lomi salmon...that was good. We had to wait bout 10 or so minutes to be seated...even after 1pm! Very busy place. They also have a fish market next door (same name). One friend got the pickled onion...was good. Oh and they dont give you raw onion & alae salt like Helena's and Ono's. If u like, you gotta pay 50cent ithink. BUT like i said, at least i tried it for myself...and now i know. If anyone has been there, let me know what you think bout the food. Have a great monday and be safe! Type more another time!

Black Eyed Peas Concert Aug 14 2006

2006-08-17T00:25:00.000-10:00

Hey There!
Just thought I would share a few pictures from the Black Eyed Peas concert this past monday. As you can see, I was in the 18th row...smack in the middle! It was really awesome seats. I was able to see really well! The concert was full of energy! The BEP really put on a good show...they are so full of energry! Imagine, singing and dancing! Whew! Just thinking bout it makes me tired! heheh Will I Am even played drums & rapped! Talented he is! Of course Fergie looked mahvalous. Her track pants was nice with all da sparkel sparkel! heheh Of course apl had a very big crowd there....the Filipino's were in da house.Some of em even had signs! I dont think there was a person in there who didnt move at all..the songs & the music...the energy of the band & crowd just F L O W E D into you! At one point, they had cpl dudes make some music with wooden table & chair, kind of like Stomp. It was cool. I am glad i had decent seating. Actually, i could of had 4th row, but it would of been on the right side of the stage, but where i was...perfect! You could see the whole stage! Fortunately i am not really height challanged, so i had no problem seeing the stage. Poor thing for the height challanged heheh I kind of feel bad thou, the ladies behind me were a little height challanged....so i stood even straighter! LMAO nah hehe Final thing...i really enjoyed myself @ the concert and cant wait to see Pearl Jam & U-2 in Dec!! I hope we have more awesome concerts in the near future....I think Tool should be good too, unfortunately i dont think i will be going to that one...and its strange they are havin that concert at the NBC concert hall! What is up with that?! Do they know what sort of peeps go to a Tool concert?! Hmm maybe not eh?! Oh well!
Have a wonderful weekend. I think i will be going to a new place...well for me that is....so i hope to remember to take pictures this weekend! enjoy and be safe you all!

SushiTen @ Waikele Golf Course

2006-08-16T23:50:00.000-10:00

Halo Halo! How have you been?! As you can tell, I have been busy lately! I have not had time to put any pictures up! Last week friday I went to a new place to eat lunch. Its called Sushi Ten (or was it sushi tei?!) Anyways, its located at the Waikele Golf Course. Its owned by an Okinawan family. Its a really nice place, the clubhouse that is. Very "old Hawaiian" feeling with nice koa wood furniture and nostalgic pictures of "old Hawaii". The food was ok. I guess a little for me heheh I had the Garlic Miso chicken...which was very flavourful...BUT i dont like skin on my chicken...so by the time i took off all the skin, i ended up with jus a tad bit of chicken! heheh I had a nice small salad, which had a very Ono dressing. Seems like a few others ordered the salmon...i forget what its called. The clubhouse looked good, and so did the pasta....but i dont know if it was actually "good" if you know what i mean hehe Anyways, its a nice place....a little high priced, just a tad...for the amount of food you get, but hey, its a にほんしよく place...so that is how it is, ね！
Have a wonderful day!! じゃね！またあとで！

Shabu Shabu dinner @ Shizu

2006-07-26T23:22:00.000-10:00

ALoha!
Tonite i went to eat dinner at Shizu Restaurant located at the Royal Garden Hotel. I have been to this place quite a few times. We always order the "all you can eat shabu shabu". Its quite delicious! Its also healthy, because you eat a lot of vegis, like chinese cabbage, watercrest, green onions, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and this noodle thingy i always forget what its called, something like, meloni?! I dunno! hahah Anyways, you get meat which is very thinly sliced. This is what my mom told me way back in my younger days...you get the meat, put it in the hot water, and say "shabu shabu, shabu shabu" while moving it back/forth in the water, and it will be cooked & ready to dip in either one of the two sauces (ponzu or sesame). You have to skim off the oils & stuff with this thingy that you dip back into hot water to get rid of the oils. Its really good for the health concious person.

Well, i am very full and need to get to bed soon! have a great thursday!! I will be off 3days again! Yippie! BUT this is the last time for months!
Be safe everyone & take care!
Type to you later!

Konnichiwa! Genki?!
Ah, I was soo tired at work today! I guess I should TRY and get to bed earlier! hehe Sometimes hard to do when you tryin to figure things out...on Blogger! I need Blogger for Dummies!
I thought I would share a picture of some ono kind stuffs I got from a friend who went to Japan last month. I love the Japanese stuffs! ONO! Everything is about convenience over there. Doesnt the individual sized cream & jelly look good! Its for toast! Also the squeeze garlic spread! That is really good! I have had it before! Sometimes i wish the coffee/tea products wouldnt have sugar, cuase it just way too sweet for me! I am sweet enough! LMAO hahah (Sweet Sue, that's me!)
I got some goodies from a friend at Yokosuka Japan today in the mail! She is such a sweetie! I will also put a pic of that. She is originally from Hokkaido, so i guess when she visits her family, she buys goodies! This time she sent me so really delicious looking cookies! Also, GUM that i should eat, then i will get a bf! I gotta give a friend at work one box of the gum too! heheh So sweet yeah, she wants us to be happy! Two years ago when i went to Japan, she was so nice to take me here & there and everywhere! Thanks a bunch Meg!

Baby Shower I atteneded on July 8

2006-07-11T00:14:00.000-10:00

Aloha!
Thought i would share a few pics from the baby shower i attended on July 8 Sat. It was at Shogun Restaurant @ the Pacific Beach hotel. It was a nice shower. Seems like everyone had a great time. Unfortunately, I had to leave early for ANOTHER party! Yup 3 parties in one day! I was very busy on saturday!! Had to recoup on Sunday..but i was also busy on sunday! ehhe Never ending! hehe
But its all good!
Dont know if you are are familiar with baby showers, but if not, then let me tell you a few things. Ok, you must see a cake picture huh?! Its a "diaper" cake! Usually someone close to the mom to be will make a cake out of diapers and attach things on it as decorations, things that can be use after the baby is born. As you can tell, a theme was used...Winne the Pooh! Yup, the mom to be likes Pooh! And she will be cleaning up a lot of poo once the baby is here! Good lucK! Favors was also made. We all took a baby shower gift. They played a few games, which you can win something! I didnt win anything, cause i had to leave early! heheh One game is "guess how big mommys tummy is". So we used yarn and estimated how big the stomach was. I dont know if i won that , cuase no one told me anything...so i guess i was not correct! hehe

Well, i better think bout going to bed soon! I am tired today! Too much partyin this weekend!!
Good night!
Sue

I have a picture of a bear I got from a friend in Japan. Its made out of Japanese Kimono material. Inside the bear, it is stuffed with charcol. The arms & legs move too! I guess its like a patchwork bear! Its really nice. Thank you T-chan! またハワイおいでね！あそびましょう！Fusions くらぶ行きましょうね！

Happy 4thof July!
What did you do?! How did you celebrate?! Well, for me, its always BBQ!! A few good friends & good grinds (food) & good dvd's! As you can see, we had a variety of food today. I made Thai chicken curry (spicy!), Baked spagetti pie, Tritip steak, blanched brocolli with mayo-shoyu/wasabi dip. My friends made spicy korean chicken, kim chee, Mr H spicy fried chicken, Shepard pie, pumpkin bread, petite cheesecakes. We also had grilled green beas wrapped with bacon, pocho sausage & hote dogs! We also had a ncie variety of Japanese style pastries from Panya. It was all good! SO basically, we ate, sleep, watch movies, drink, ate more & etc etc! I think everyone was full, and then some!

I hope you also had a great 4th! Take it easy & type later!

Here is a pic of lava flow. Did you know its been erupting for like 23 yrs?! Long time yeah?! I just wanted to show ya a pic i got for the site http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/ Check it out when you get a chance! Its truely an amazing thing! You can feel the heat from a distance...the lava flow is just beautiful at nite. Some say Kona side of the Big Island is very drab, and actually a little depressing becuase everywhere you look you see....BLACK! But if you go on the Hilo side, then you will see a lot of green! I think both sides are nice!

Just wanted to say something real quick tonite! have a great hump day and be safe!!

Saturday nite...

2006-06-17T20:45:00.000-10:00

Hey Hey Hey!
How's it going?! I am listening to "I love the Night Life" by Alicia Bridges(www.aliciabridges.com). Gee, I totall remember this song from back in the days of Summer Fun in Waipahu! ahaha We all used to do the Hustle! Songs were simple back then, dont you think?! Some reason, i love to dance (not that i know how) to the songs they play at gay clubs. The music just flows!! At a gay club, it does not matter what your look like, what you wear and how you dance. You just go there to have fun. Let the energy F-L-O-W! For women, its great, cause you can totally relax and not worry about men tryin to hit up on ya. Ok, well, sometimes the gay women might hit up on ya. You can dance all "ooffy" with a guy and not worry he will get a "beep" on! hahaha LOL hahah But its all good, as long as you are honest & respectful. But that should be true to everything in life. I think people shouldnt be offended if a gay person comes up to you and ask you to dance, or even give ya a compliment. You should be happy!

I guess that is enough for today. I better get to sleep soon! Wake up time comes real fast, when you DONT wanna go to work! Have a wonderful evening & a great sunday!

Ciao!
Sue
