We ate so well on vacation. Everything was fresh, creative and definitely a fine representation of "Hawaiian food". It is so nice to travel to places where the food is "different" from what we have here. We tried to find places that served our favorite foods with a little unique prep style. When you wake up at 5:30am everyday, you get very hungry. We had breakfast almost everyday followed by delicious dinners~ worked up an appetite after a long day of snorkeling. During most of the dinners, I was sun burnt yet loving having nothing to do but enjoy a lovely meal with my husband. We hardly ever go out to dinner anymore, it was just nice to have a "date night" every night on vacation. We even picked up a pizza one night and walked the beach trail back to our hotel. I ordered Hawaiian on half while Tyler chose the meat lovers on the other side.
My Baby B will be one lucky little baby. It will be spoiled with yummy foods for the whole 40 weeks it's in my belly. I'm SURE I will be having some major cravings. LOL. Poor Tyler! Maybe we can go to Canada's China Town for my favorite Banh Mi sub!

I've seen this meal on all of the Food Network shows. I had to try it.
It's a Maui Cattle Company hamburger patty and eggs on a bed of jasmine rice smothered with gravy.
I would rate this one... "just ALRIGHT" - a little bland.
Not to worry... I ordered a macadamia nut pancake with coconut syrup.

Okay so I had to have pho at this hole in the wall place we found.
