How Do You Measure A Year? I Measure It In Swag

January 15, 2010 – 8:40 am

Yesterday, I discovered that, social networking Twitvite commemorated it’s first birthday by publishing a list of it’s top users from 2009. Hawaii’s kama’aina have always been very social, which is why since Twitvite’s launch in January 2009, Hawaii has always been in the top five on the list of scheduled twitvites. However, I was amazed [...]

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 [...]

Metromix: Small Kid Time

December 23, 2009 – 9:00 am

My most recent Metromix gallery has probably been my most personal to date. Since it is the Christmas season, I was feeling nostalgic, so I thought it might be interesting to revisit some of the restaurants that my family frequented when I was growing up. This idea really struck a nerve with my family. They [...]

Grilled Cornbread

December 6, 2009 – 1:58 am

Needless to say, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands since my accident back in April. If I’m not at physical therapy, a doctor’s appointment or putting in light duty time at the American Cancer Society, I’ve spent my time networking. The fruit of that networking has resulted in me joining a group [...]

Metromix: Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Local Style

November 4, 2009 – 3:49 am

Despite being at Blog World, I was still able to put together another gallery for Metromix.com. The idea for this gallery came about when Melissa, another free-lance food writer, told me that Guy Fieri was going to Murphy’s Bar and Grill. This drew an immediate reaction from me. As I say in this most recent [...]

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. When I was notified about the Advertiser picking up my article, I was shocked to say [...]

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 [...]
