Bert's Birthday + Post Bday crawl

Another revolution around the sun...

Above, our meal, including Bert's birthday dinner, from Hawaiian Style (CV)...

Late lunch @ Trade Winds Tavern

The short-lived Char House is now Trade Winds Tavern...

Our last stop of the day for my birthday crawl...

You can't miss this place due to the striking mural in front...

San Diego Poke Co.

I know I'm "late to the party" for the poke trend...

My sis and her son (nephew #3) wanted to give San Diego Poke Co. a try....

Cheaper than the Fair! Fried zucchini + more from Homestyle Hawaiian

Forget Chicken Charlie's!

Over at this modest Hawaiian eatery in east Chula Vista...

Homestyle Hawaiian, Linda Vista + Lion Coffee

Continuing our vacation routine of going out to lunch with friends, TC and I had the pleasure of meeting up with Carol of CAB Cooks...

over at Homestyle Hawaiian near Kearny HS...

Coupon Hits & 1 Fail...

I had to buy TC some makeup for dance so it was off to Macy's Mac counter.  While there, we used one of the newer coupons in the Entertainment Value book...

If you buy this, you also get extra online coupons by using their app, which is pretty cool. It's like doubling your investment...

Photo medley - random meals, funny stuff and more...

It's time again for one of those posts where I compile the pics don't really warrant a full-on post, such as this bitch kickin' pair of purple patent fake Docs.

I don't remember what the brand was, but I know it definitely was NOT Doc Marten's, at only $24.99? Real Docs are $100 or more and better quality than these fake leather shoes. These boots will probably fall apart after two or three wears, but boy, I do like that eggplant shade!

Then again, it's not the 1990's and I'm not Daria Morgendorffer and can get away with wearing these....

Sigh...If only...

Return to Homestyle Hawaiian

After having gone here a few weeks ago, we thought it would be a fine time to return...

to Homestyle Hawaiian. With me were my friends and lunch partners, La Ley, Mr. TJ as well as MFH (the newly retired)....

We snagged a corner table and when I looke dup, I saw these specials and a taped on review, which upon closer inspection...

A & D Hawaiian BBQ - National City

Since we were the area we wanted to check out this Hawaiian place...Look, it says A&D Hawaiian BBQ on the sign right?

But this is now there!

Here today and gone tomorrow...

Gilroy Bowl

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the Garlic Shoppe guy had asked if we liked Loco Mocos. Bert said he did, but I'm not really into them. The reason he asked was because there was a little place in downtown Gilroy owned by Japanese Americans from Hawaii. I forget if they were 3rd or 4th generation. In any case, our interest was piqued...

He said the name of the restaurant was Scotty's and it was located within Gilroy Bowl, a bowling alley.
