Are you foodie? \u00a0Well, I’m not sure if I’m a foodie, but I love food. \u00a0Great tasting food. \u00a0I love “unhealthy food” as well. \u00a0 I put that in quotes because in this day in age, it seems that every diet out there alienates some type of food or macro-nutrient or considers is “unhealthy.” \u00a0I do discriminate against certain foods though. \u00a0 I hate crappy tasting food. \u00a0 I also have a prejudice against restaurants that charge you an arm, a leg, and your next of kin, and then serve you a pea-sized meal. \u00a0Screw them.<\/p>\n

I have a long list of places I love to eat. \u00a0 Here’s Part One. \u00a0I’m not sure how many parts there will be, but this is a start.<\/p>\n

\"home-300x225<\/a>

Dish – Negi Toro, a must order<\/p><\/div>\n

HOME BAR – SPORTS BAR AND GREAT FOOD!<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is probably one of my favorite places to eat on Oahu. \u00a0I hang out here with my friends, with my family. \u00a0 I’m a regular. \u00a0The food here is awesome, it’s fairly priced, and the portions are large. \u00a0I love to order the Kalbi, Negi Toro Poke, Kim Chee Steak, and Kim Chee Fried Rice. \u00a0Honestly, everything is great on the menu. \u00a0 This is a sports bar that is far from fancy. \u00a0The seats have holes in them that are duck taped. \u00a0The crowd is loud. \u00a0The beer on tap is not anything fancy. \u00a0 But the food is great, the atmosphere is laid back. \u00a0 Service is fast. \u00a0It’ll get busy on sports nights, but for the most part, it’s pretty easy to get a table.<\/p>\n

Parking is a bit challenging. You’ll most likely have to valet or find parking in a cheap parking pay lot right next door. Do not park at at the shopping malls nearby. \u00a0You’ll most likely get towed.<\/p>\n

\"Yakiniku-Don-food-300x225

Lettuce wrap of Heaven.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

YAKNIKU DON-DAY – BEST KOREAN FOOD<\/span><\/h3>\n

I love Korean Food. \u00a0It taste great, it’s healthy for you, it’s fun to make. This is my one of my favorite places in the world to eat (not joking) and to take my wedding couples out to dinner (when they want to hang out with me!) \u00a0 I usually order the Pork Belly, Kalbi, and Seafood Pancake. \u00a0 Then I take\u00a0a slice of seafood pancake, a small scoop of rice and two pieces of pork belly that’s dipped in pepper\/salt sesame seed oil (pictured right), and wrap it with a piece of lettuce. \u00a0And then I stuff it in my face and ponder how anyone can create something so awesome.<\/p>\n

Yakiniku is a Japanese word that refers to the style of eating small pieces of meat over a flame. \u00a0 In other words, it’s bbq for people with tiny hands. \u00a0Haha. \u00a0 The Koreans adopted this style of eating and took it a bit farther than the Japanese.<\/p>\n

I usually park in the Wal-Mart at Ala Moana and walk across the street.<\/p>\n

\"Tamuras-300x225<\/a>

Best Poke In Town!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

TAMURAS FINE WINE AND LIQUORS – BEST WINE AND POKE!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lets talk about about Poke. \u00a0 Poke consist of a raw slices of seafood, mixed with spices, and served chilled. \u00a0I believe the only poke that is cooked is Taco Poke, which is Octopus. \u00a0Not many people eat octopus raw (at least I don’t). \u00a0At least I don’t think they do. \u00a0 The Poke here is number one. \u00a0They also have a great selection of wine from what I’ve heard. \u00a0I don’t drink wine, but I’ve heard their selection is also number one.<\/p>\n

I love the Limo Kohu Poke here. \u00a0That though, isn’t for everyone. \u00a0Like any market that sells poke, they’ll let you sample a piece before you buy it. \u00a0Sample what you love, buy a 1\/2 to 1 pound, and sit with your wife on the beach during sunset while chowing down on this. \u00a0Great poke makes sunsets better. It also makes football a lot more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

By the way, you can’t have open alcohol on the beach. \u00a0But you only get caught if you’re drinking on the beaches of Waikiki. \u00a0Other beaches, they cops really don’t enforce this law. \u00a0 After all, what do surfers do after coming back on land? \u00a0 They’re cracking open a beer!<\/p>\n

\"o-300x225<\/a>

This Lau Lau can possibly feed two!<\/p><\/div>\n

YOUNG’S FISH MARKET – BEST HAWAIIAN FOOD<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even though my name is Steven Young, I absolutely no affiliation with this place. \u00a0 I wish I did though because this place can get rather packed, and I know they make a lot of money. \u00a0Haha! \u00a0 This is a favorite among locals and I don’t see many tourist venturing this far from Waikiki for their food. \u00a0 The Hawaiian Food here is great. \u00a0 The Lau Lau is huge! \u00a0Lau Lau is your carb friendly meal that consist of streamed taro leaves, with butter fish, and pork shoulder. \u00a0 It’s great. \u00a0 They have some other great things here to eat as well. \u00a0Their Char Sui ribs are filling. \u00a0Everything here taste great. \u00a0 Don’t expect anything fancy here. \u00a0It’s a big hole in the wall restaurant. \u00a0I would try to come here, maybe a bit before or after lunch.<\/p>\n
