When I read the Japanese, I was horrified that this might be a store over here—not that our home centers are at all reticent about putting jugs of garden poison in the impulse-purchase shelves next to check-out.

@fgbjr @sysop408 LOL everything in Hawaii is both Japanese and English, for the most part. Although, it feels to me like the Japanese tourists were most certainly avoiding Honolulu last week, I suspect no one REALLY wants to deal with way the US is treating international visitors/possibility of being thrown randomly into prison or trucked to El Salvador.

@ai6yr @sysop408 Cycling around, I've come across two Hawai'ian themed cafes. I'll ask, "oh, is the owner from Hawai'i?" and the answer will be "no, he just likes Hawai'ian things." Playboy golfers and surfers. Here was the luncheon special at one of them. Authentic ethnic cuisine from the hand of a dedicated restauranteur.

... are those steamed vegetables? On a Loco Moco?!? And the mayo would normally be part of the absurdly large side of macaroni salad. Why is that rice so sad and white with no gravy to cover it? 😭

Loco moco is all about rich and creamy excess over cheap starchy excess.

@me_valentijn @ai6yr @sysop408 Lotus root, sweet potato, carrot slices, probably zapped in a microwave—the place was pretty minimalistic on the kitchen side. (An hour later I found that my fave lunch spot was open, and I had a second larger more delicious and more nutritious meal for a little less.)

@fgbjr @me_valentijn @sysop408 LOL the silverware at Japanese restaurants is so fun.
