Hawaii Senators apparently have nothing better to do…

February 4, 2010 – 1:46 am

Less then 24 hours after having a very enjoyable meal at Alan Wong’s sampling locally grown beef from Kuahiwi Ranch on the Big Island, I find out that the state senate has a bill that will attempt to ban the sale of Foie Gras in Hawaii.
Based from the language in the bill, they are making [...]

Foodspotting.com

December 29, 2009 – 2:16 am

Over the past month, my new favorite food porn site has become foodspotting.com. Unlike other food sites that just post pictures of food without telling you where they are from, foodspotting keeps a restaurant database of every photo entered. So if you see something that you absolutely have to try, the restaurant information is right [...]

You Know You’ve Made It Big When…

October 11, 2009 – 2:00 am

I am going to blatantly steal the title for this blog entry from my friend, Melissa because there is no better way to describe it. You know you’ve made it big when a cartoon version of you is used in an advertisement by a major local restaurant chain. Starting tomorrow (October 12th), a cartoon likeness [...]

Great Dessert: Happy Hearts Mochi

October 7, 2009 – 3:53 am

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit to the Mochi House to watch Happy Hearts Mochi owner, Renee Iha, make her unique treats. I had never really been a fan of mochi, but Renee’s stuffed chichi dongo (a type of mochi made from glutenous rice flour) made me a believer. I liked [...]

My First Printed By Line

October 2, 2009 – 10:04 am

Earlier this week, a gallery of some of my favorite desserts was published on Metromix.com. I am now excited to report that the part of that gallery was published by the Honolulu Advertiser in it’s weekly TGIF Restaurant guide.

Pearl Kai Metromix Gallery

September 1, 2009 – 4:28 pm

In case you haven’t noticed, despite having the use of only one hand, I have been keeping myself busy. After the first two weeks of staying at home doing noting, I decided to get out of the house and do anything that didn’t involve sitting on a couch at home.
One of the activities that I [...]
