Another visit to Ruth's Chris but this time in Waikiki.  I prefer the Waikiki location to Downtown primarily because of the outdoor seating which overlooks Beach Walk.  I went with my normal Ruth's Chris dinner.  The Wedge Salad and a Petite Filet.  Don't think you can ever go wrong with the Filet.  Always perfectly cooked and delicious.

JOINUS TEPPANYAKI - TUMON, GUAM

ENTRANCE IN TUMON SANDS PLAZA
CHEF COOKS AT YOUR TABLE
JOINUS TEPPANYAKI
TUMON, GUAM 

A customer took us to one his favorite places in Guam.  Joinus Teppanyaki in the upscale shopping center called Tumon Sands Plaza.  The placed was jam packed at lunch with mostly locals celebrating birthday parties.  We were seated at the back Teppanyaki table.  The vents above the metal cooking surfaces did not seem to work or the air conditioning was blowing the air away from the vent.  The area was smokey and hot.  The entire table, menus and floor were greasy.  This place needs a good degreasing.  The lunch menu includes four options;
Steak, Chicken and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Steak, Salmon and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Chicken, Salmon and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Salmon, Scallops and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

I went with the steak, chicken and shrimp.  The chef begins the meal by slicing, flipping and flaming onions, bean sprouts, carrots, Bell Pepper and Tofu.  While he is cooking, they bring you  a Green Salad with Japanese Dressing and Miso Soup.  Both the salad and soup were good.  First down on the plate after the vegetables were the bacon wrapped shrimp.  Cooked in butter and white wine.  Delicious.  The waiter brought out a dipping sauce that was vinegar based with lots of onions.  This sauce put the steak, chicken and vegetables over the top.  I could have drank this sauce by the gallon.  It was just that good.  Added some heat and flavor to everything on the plate.  I was amazed by the amount of steak on my plate.  Large portion for lunch.  Other than the grease and smoke, I really enjoyed this meal.  Think the price was around $15.

BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP, CHICKEN AND STEAK
THIS SAUCE MADE EVERYTHING BETTER
THIS IS A HUGE LUNCH

SENOR PEPE' AND SBARRO - ALA MOANA FOOD COURT


ALA MOANA FOOD COURT
SENOR PEPE' FRESH
MEXICAN GRILLE AND
SBARRO ITALIAN 

Pleased that the wife wanted tacos while shopping at the Ala Moana Shopping Center.  We went to the Makai Market Food Court where you can find all of Hawaii's ethnic foods.  There is Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Philippines, Vietnamese, Hawaiian, Italian, Mexican, American restaurants plus a steak house, sandwich shop, panini shop and more.  I like Señor Pepe Fresh Mexican Grille.  Hawaii really doesn't have any good Mexican joints so Señor Pepe shines.  I always order tacos.  Fish, Shredded Beef and the Street Tacos are my favorites here.  Two tacos and your choice of three side dishes runs around $9.  I went for the Carne Asada (steak) Street Style Tacos.  Double corn tortillas filed with seasoned and grilled steak.  Topped with onions and cilantro.  Pretty simple but so good.  I had the Chipotle Cole Slaw, Jicama and Cucumber Salad and beans as sides.  My wife enjoyed one Fish Taco and a Carne Asada Taco with beans, rice and a fresh vegetable salad with garbanzo beans.  The Boss went for the Sbarro Pizza.  She chose the thick crust because it looked so good on the counter.  You can get a large slice of pizza and choice of a side and drink for around $8 at Sbarro.

SHABU SHABU DINNER AT HOME

SHABU SHABU 
DINNER AT HOME 

We were honored with the presence of baby Reagan (named after Ronald Reagan) for dinner at our house.  Reagan is just two weeks old and one handsome little Republican.  Dinner started with Pineapple and Bacon Sausage and Pork with vegetable dumplings.  Served with a sweet dipping sauce.  We enjoyed some fresh Ahi Sashimi and then started our Grill Pan dinner that featured fresh vegetables, seafood and steak.  All cooked up on an indoor grill pan placed in the middle of our dining room table.  This type of dinner is not only delicious but good fun for everyone.  You cook right at the table.  We heat up the pan and then add butter.  When the butter melts, add the vegetables, seafood and beef.  Simply salt and pepper to taste and then dip into Batayaki Sauce (Soy Sauce, Ginger Juice, Lime Juice, Brown Sugar, Water, Daikon and Dashinomoto Seasoning).  Our Grill Dinner included Napa Cabbage, Assorted Bell Peppers, Asparagus, Bean Sprouts Maui Onion, Eggplant, Zucchini, Thinly Sliced Rib Eye Steak, Shrimp, Scallops, Langostines, Portobello Mushrooms and Teriyaki Chicken.  Wow....This dinner is amazing, fun and super delicious.
Traditional Shabu Shabu uses a rich broth to cook the meats, seafood and vegetables.  Our home version is a bit different but we like it.
