Thanks again to the worldly travels of @abaggy, I have some new flavors of Kit Kat to sample. That’s Strawberry Cheesecake, Wasabi, and Soy Bean. Oh, and as a backdrop to these Kit Kats is the 2011 Entertainment Book filled with coupons if you’re interested in buying one as a fundraiser.

Shopping at Don Quixote, I stumbled upon Pepsi Baobab. What’s that? Luckily, the always-entertaining The Impulsive Buy has a review of this tree-based drink.

If you’re ever on the Windward side looking for breakfast, you need to visit Cinnamons. Though it does get crowded in the mornings, especially on the weekends, the wait is well worth it. Here’s a snapshot of their daily specials. You have to try their potent guava chiffon pancakes.

What other sustenance do you need other than espresso, art, internet, and food? You can see this sign driving in Waimanalo, headed towards Kailua.

A favorite Friday takeout meal comes from Food Company. Their menu is extensive, but the specials (surf)board is where it’s at! At the very top of the specials board is a new favorite, the seared ahi with jalapeno ponzu sauce (I call that “jalaponzu”).

These little bursts of flavor are available at Costco. Not sure how you’re supposed to eat them, but they make a good snack mixed with yogurt.

Look what our local Safeway had in stock, Coffee-mate’s new Honey Vanilla Creme! I’ve been looking for this for awhile, even during my search for epic. Note to Coffee-mate, you can update your Where to Buy tool and show this product’s hit Hawaii.

While wearing a “Free Kobi” shirt, Takeru Kobayashi was arrested as he attempted to take the stage at Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest? For what and why, I don’t know. And seriously, these competitive eating events are run by Major League Eating?! Takeru, lose the headband. It’s too classic Karate Kid Cobra Kai [...]

I had thought Korean brand Sempio pulled a coup detat on the soy sauce served at Kozo Sushi. But not so fast. Kozo has re-affiliated itself with the land of the rising sun by going with Yamasa who has a history with shoyu. So from my collection of soy sauce packets, Kozo went from Kikkoman [...]

Location-service Foursquare is taking it to the next level, partnering with Starbucks and rewarding mayors of Starbucks. For a limited time, Foursquare mayors get a $1 discount off a Frappuccino, but the potential is intriguing. What else will Starbucks offer in the future? And this after I lost a few Starbucks mayorships.

So Jennifer Aniston and Lady Gaga are rumored to be followers of the latest Baby Food Diet. What’s that you ask? For the Baby Food Diet, you consume 14 jars of baby food during the day and eat a “regular” dinner. It’s that simple, and you gotta admit there might be something to this diet [...]

I don’t exactly know what a “re-grand opening” is, but Foodland just had one. It looked more like a small renovation with moderate changes in layout and look. There’s now an expanded organic food section and the deli/ready made food area features an olive bar and home made gelato. I think this Foodland location is [...]

This year we tried the Mother’s Day brunch at Alan Wong’s Pineapple Room in Macy’s Ala Moana. Cost was $45 per adult (under 6 years old is free). Not bad at all. There were a variety of quality dishes instead of masses of “fillers.” The crowds were reasonable, and we weren’t packed into an overcrowded [...]

Blazin’ Steaks are all over Hawaii, springing up island wide. I think their unofficial motto is if steaks ain’t blazin’ within 2 miles, it’ll soon be. A problem with this sprawling growth is finding the details of these franchises. There are at least three Blazin’ Steaks in Kailua, but none of them are listed in [...]
