Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! That’s one of hubby’s favorite foods. Unfortunately, pizza is not usually healthy.

It even offers gluten-free pizza crust so hubby & I decided to have dinner at the Ward Street location. We parked in … Continue Reading »

Truck restaurants intrigue me so I convinced hubby to take me to Da Falafel King. Da Falafel King is parked in front of the Moiliili Community Center on King Street. It’s quite quaint with outdoor chairs, tables and planters with little papaya trees separating the seating area from the sidewalk. A week earlier, hubby and … Continue Reading »

Hubby was in a mood to try something different for lunch so we stopped at Sakura Terrace at 1240 S. King Street. Sakura Terrace is a small, contemporary and cozy restaurant.
