Oahu day 6: Moena Cafe & Musubi Cafe

via GIPHY
Started our morning off with breakfast at Moena Cafe.

"MC" Fruity Pancakes, taste as good as it looks.

"MC" Breakfast: Two eggs any style, choice of breakfast meat, and choice of side.

Fried rice breakfast with two eggs.

Short Rib Loco Moco, the main reason we came to Moena Cafe. I was hoping for Kalbi, but it's made with braised short rib. Still delicious.

Over easy eggs.... the way I like it.

Tammy had to fly back home early for school so we spent that last few minutes at the beach before her departure.


I don't know what she's thinking, but she's wearing a long sleeve at the beach.


After I dropped Tammy at the airport I headed back to Waikiki for a drink with everyone then met up with the groom cause he made an appointment to have the groomsmen cleaned up.

Mikyle loves candy.

and he likes to take pictures...

After the barber shop we headed back to John's suite.

We just hung out and had drinks. The wedding was tomorrow so we couldn't get too smashed.



Eventually got hungry and did a food run. Nearby the hotel was Musubi Cafe there are several other locations on the island.

There are a lot of different types of spam.

I got spam and rice.... I don't know what it is about their rice but it was delicious.


Chicken and mayo Onigiri.. Everything we ordered was really good. I would recommend stopping by, especially if you like Musubi.

Headed back to my hotel around 11 pm to get some rest, but Phillip's friends were over again... so I couldn't pass up on some more drinks for the night.

Eventually I fell asleep.

Day 6 done.. Only one more night to go. The big day starts tomorrow.

Hawaii Vacation 2010- Day 2

We ended up waking up around 11am the next morning. Decided to head to Northshore to grab some Garlic Shrimp. Last year we went to Giovani's but after reading on yelp that Giovani's sold and wasn't as good anymore. We decided to go to Macky's instead. Cause that's what the yelpers were saying that this was the place. 

         

John was disappointed that they did not have the Garlic Hot Dog like Giovani's.

They did have coconut shrimp and that was delicious.

        

John couldn't decide between coconut shrimp or garlic shrimp so he got both.

Phil was checking out John's coconut shrimp.

I stuck with the classic garlic shrimp. Macky's wasn't as good as Giovani's, but then again that was last year. Things could have changed by now. Macky's was voted #1 in Oahu and if that's true then Giovani's must really suck cause this garlic shrimp did NOT hit the spot. I guess it would have to do for now.

After Macky's we went back to Waiola's for some more shaved ice.

I had the custard bowl with sour apple. 

A few more shots of the view from the home that we were staying at.

Here we are just relaxing. It's only Monday. I guess we thought we had a lot of time, but man did time fly by.

We did a bit of shopping. Here we are at Kicks/Hi

John needed some shoes for when we hike diamond head tomorrow. So we stopped by a shoe store.

Just some random shots while we were shopping. 

I couldn't really find anything to buy that I couldn't find back in the mainland.

After shopping we headed over to Brandon's Uncle's house for some poker. We got schooled in poker. He has a really nice house with an awesome view though.

Here are some shots from Uncle Jeff's balcony.

I snapped a few night pics from the home that we were staying at.

The night before the bartender at Red Lion was telling us to come back Monday night cause it should be really busy. So we came back the next night and it really was cracking. It still shocks me how cheap drinks are in Oahu. Johnny Walker Green Label was $6 shot. I think we sell those shots for like $25 bucks at the bar I work at. Alvin was going to town on that stuff. I guess not that many whiskey drinkers out there maybe?

They dart boards were open so we hopped on that real quick. Alvin and John wanted a rematch cause they lost really bad the night before. 

A lot busier than the night before.

Phil running a muck in Waikiki.

I think Phil drank to much cause he passed out in the car.

We stopped by McDonald's for a late night snack.

Phil do you want anything from Mcdonalds?

 I'll take that a a no?

Phil was still conscious enough to pose for the camera.

 A few seconds later he was out again.

Oh wait.... He's back

Here he is trying to sober up.

Here's a shot of the view from the driveway of the home we were staying at.

Now Phil and John are out.

Phil and John like to ride Unicorns.

Alvin enjoying a nice Fried Apple Pie. So much better than those crappy baked apple pies in California.

Phil is officially down for the count. Pray to the porcelain gods!!

That ends our second day there. It was quite an adventure. 3 more night left.
