Fancy Schmancy Holiday Dinner at Duc’s Bistro! A friend of mine knows Duc (pronounced “Duke”) of Duc’s Bistro, a Vietnamese-French restaurant.

Best Mexican Place on O’ahu Finding an excellent Mexican joint on O’ahu has been difficult for so long. But I finally found one. Margaritas is one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to on the island. Their food, and margaritas, are delicious. The dining experience leaves you wanting to return for more, slowly ordering […]

Bagels, “Cream Cheese,” and NYC-Fun When in New York City, eating a bagel is a must. I was excited to try Pio Bagel, located in Brooklyn. They had a variety of bagels and cream cheeses to choose from. My eyes wanted to try multiple bagels and cream cheeses, but my stomach could only handle one […]
Vegan Cauliflower Shawarma is a Hit! I love Mediterranean food, specifically Turkish food. Istanbul Hawai’i at Ward Village is one of my favorites on O’ahu. I believe they are the only Turkish restaurant on the island. They started as a food truck several years ago. I tried their food at a Honolulu Night Market at […]
Soba Salad & Izakaya Reivew My friend and I dined at a Japanese vegan izakaya restaurant in Honolulu. We were so excited to try this place. Finally! I’ve frequently driven by and have always wanted to eat there. However, the location isn’t the best, and the parking is limited. They have a small lot. There’s […]

The multicolored cream cheese spread is plant-based, a perfect vegan and vegetarian food item to eat for breakfast/brunch or a day/nighttime snack. Conversations is a cute, dainty café and store on the […]
Mexican Bowls and Black Beans Rock The Mexican bowl with black beans (what we’re highlighting in our health segment today) at Paniolos was delicious. I ate that entire bowl in a heartbeat! It was so tasty! Paniolos’ menu is simple and customizable. You choose the items you want in your burrito, taco, or bowl. It’s […]
Mock Meat Pad See Ew In the fall of 2021, I dined at Tara Bemidji- Thai Food and Craft Beer, a small Thai restaurant, with my dear girlfriend while we were on a day trip to Bemidji, Minnesota. I ordered a delicious mock meat Thai pad see ew (“you”) that was juicy and flavorful! The […]
Feeling Açaí (ah-sah-e) Refreshed I recently came across Waffle and Berry, a food establishment on the second floor at McCully Shopping Center in Honolulu, Hawai’i. They serve a refreshing açaí bowl. Additionally, they offer waffles and various desserts on their menu. One day after finishing my weekly red light treatment at Red Light Healing Center […]
