All that stuff sounds great! I might go to Waikiki one day but I'm gonna
need a car that drives itself first! It's funny when a mainland chain
comes here with Asian dishes. Because they're not really Asian but
hybrids suited for people on the mainland. OTOH, that's ok because I'm
kinda tired of the usual Asian fare on this rock.
