Jolene’s at Bayview Golf Course.
Part of the vegetables included is Vietnamese pickled vegetables, similar to the vegetables in banh mi sandwich. Mmm. 🙂
The “regular” is two patties. For The Mouse, one patty is enough. Full. The Mouse will definitely return.

This location is little sister to Kapiolani and Honolulu restaurants. The seating is limited and the ordering set-up is more like fast food (order at the counter, find a seat, server brings food).
The Mouse visited the second day of opening, lots of selections were sold out. The Mouse ordered steamed taro cakes for take-out.
The Mouse thinks the kitchen lightly pan-fries the cakes to order. The Mouse is growing to like this version.
So now, The Mouse has a dim sum option nearby. Yay!
Be well, eat well.

Close enough. Hee hee.
The Mouse picked up a container of flaky rolls from the grocery store.
Ten minutes in the toaster oven, medium heat.
Kinda like a denser version of a popover. Not bad, nicely priced. For The Mouse, close enough. 🙂

Not too much happening, The Mouse did the Wednesday papaya run, picked up “breakfast” from 7-Eleven next door to the grocery store.
The Mouse was “stuffed” after the two rice balls. Late lunch.
Dinner for The Cat was a leftover “parfait”.
Ginger chicken sauce, look funn noodles, turnip, canned bamboo shoot, tomato wedges.
The Mouse peeled the tomato because The Cat cannot chew the skin.

Long story short, Chef H wanted to cook The Cat and The Mouse something. His suggestion was a rabbit. Chef H has cooked us a rabbit before. Uhm, The Cat and The Mouse not used to eating rabbit, visions of Bugs Bunny and the Easter bunny. The Mouse texted Chef H and politely declined.
After contemplation, The Mouse didn’t want to “rain on Chef’s parade” and texted him a suggestion, how about Ratatouille? Kinda fancy, kinda accessible ingredients, no furry animals involved. Chef H agreed.
Zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper. The twist? Pine nuts.
Thanks Chef H, much appreciated. 🙂

The Mouse went papaya “hunting”. Wednesdays only, select grocery stores, Kamiya papayas. Scored three. 7-Eleven nearby. Small coffee, edamame and seasoned seaweed onigiri.
Appointment with orthodontist, check-up on night-time retainers.
Bakery around the area.
The Mouse bought:
Bakery not bad, The Mouse wouldn’t go out of the way, but if in the area …

One of The Mouse’s father’s favorites, simple, no-recipe.
The Mouse practiced his knife/slicing skills, still needs practice.
A little bit of olive oil, and little bit of oil from the sardine tin.
Deglaze with sweet vermouth, take pan off heat, stir in sardines, vigorously, salt and pepper to taste, splash of chili pepper water, and splash of shoyu.
Green onions to finish, serve over steamed white rice. Mmm. 🙂

The Mouse’s dish, if you look closely, Chef H shaved two truffle pieces. Wine reduction. Mmm. 🙂

“D*mn the torpedoes – full speed ahead.” The Mouse picked up breakfast after fruit run for The Cat. MikeyD buy one, get one for a dollar.
The sausage muffin could be ordered without cheese, but the burrito could not. Doesn’t the burrito look a little like a torpedo? Hee hee. The Mouse took two lactase enzyme pills. Not much ill effect, just a little gas/bloating. The Mouse has not had a breakfast burrito from MikeyD’s for at least 20-25 years, since becoming lactose adverse. The Mouse thinks another 20-25 years until the next one. Hee hee.

First, Yen Yen update. The Mouse made a trek to Yen Yen. The Mouse was a little discombobulated, forgot to take pics until almost too late. Apologies for the more than half-finished dish pics.
The Mouse thinks Yen Yen makes one of the better omelet dishes. Alongside Kin Wah Chop Suey, different but both yum.
The crispy won ton, an indulgence for The Mouse, don’t tell my doctor. Hee hee.

Flour was added to the recipe. Not The Cat’s favorite. The Mouse will finish. The Mouse maybe take a trip to Yen Yen for their shrimp scrambled eggs. Should be much better.

A couple of days ago, The Cat was in the mood for pork hash with salted duck egg.
The Mouse had to run an errand so stopped in at Kin Wah Chop Suey to order.
A different preparation. Usually, the duck egg is raw before steaming, but this dish looks like the duck egg was cooked before steaming. No matter, The Cat liked.
Since The Mouse was there, picked up an order of gon lo mein (dry fried noodles, no gravy) for lunch/dinner.
Tasty. Tasted a little like yakisoba and gon lo mein hybrid.

The Mouse has lunch for two days. 🙂
The Mouse also bought a can of beans.
First time try, The Mouse usually gets pork and beans, but sometimes a little too sweet. This can is good, less sweet, a touch more spice. May be new choice. Paws up.

So The Cat can pack a portion for her bento today.
Notice the SPAM is nicely fried and slightly charred. 🙂 Two slices of SPAM leftover from both plates for The Mouse lunch this week. 🙂
After a bit of cleaning, The Cat went to hibernate.
The Mouse dug around the pantry, some somen noodles, leftover spicy eggplant, one leaf of Napa cabbage, and of course green onions.

Second favorite. Vegetarian chili and rice from Zippy’s still the best, but, L & R is larger quantity and a little cheaper. Plus, closer.

The Mouse had a weird thought, use tomato paste as ketchup replacement. The Mouse can never use the whole bottle of ketchup without it expiring. A tin of tomato paste is smaller.
Plus tomato paste has less ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup. Seems healthier.
First test was mixed into orzo pasta bowl.
The bowl on the left is The Cat’s beginnings of her dinner. Rice, nori, sardines with oil. The Mouse’s lunch bowl contained orzo pasta, tomato paste, frozen vegetables, and sardines. Mmm. 🙂
For dinner, The Mouse made a pita “sandwich”.
Kewpie mayo, tomato paste, fried fishcake, vegetable croquette, sesame leaf ribbons. The fishcake and vegetable croquette were remains from The Cat’s bento.
Cheap eats from Times Supermarket. Rice, nori, burdock root, pickled ginger, fried fish. Ingredients contributed to three eats, The Cat’s bento, The Cat’s dinner bowl, and The Mouse’s pita sandwich. 🙂
The experiment works, will be using tomato paste instead of ketchup. 🙂
