Kabuki Menu
That line to get okazuya from Kabuki’s in the Waimalu Shopping Center is always long and for good reason. Prices are very affordable, and the food is tasty. Here’s a shot of their okazuya menu to tempt you.
Life
Closed Due to Sickness
Went to check out a new eatery, Esther House, in Kailua. But when I got there, they were closed.
Get a closer look at the sign. I hate it when the “cooker is sick.”
Passing by a week later, they were still closed so maybe the “cooker” is actually cooking equipment that’s busted and not a sick cook. And yes, this location is that of the former What the Pho.
Seasons Change: Costco Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
Seasons Change could very well be the best single by Exposé, and while this opinion has no relevance to this post, I do love that song. 😉
Back to the story… Supposedly today marks the end of Costco’s Pumpkin Streusel muffins. An employee said the bakery won’t be making these seasonal treats after today. So if you love these muffins, you might be able to find remaining batches. If you can’t find any, well then lament with Exposé and sing along.

I want you
I want to feel you by my side
I need you
Don’t you know I need you baby

Feelings change
It’s been so long
I’ve found you yet it seems like yesterday

Passing on the Pepsi Paradise Mango
Spotted the Pepsi Next Paradise Mango drink at the Palama Market, and though the thought of the mix of flavors baffled me, I had to try this drink.
That was one week ago. Today, I’ve already forgotten the flavor. Okay, I do remember one tidbit, my initial taste. On my first sip, I do remember thinking, “Whaaaaa?” as in what was Pepsi thinking combining a cola with mango. Needless to say, I’m not a fan of the Paradise Mango. I just didn’t get it. Maybe I needed to be eating some salty, spicy kim chee to complement the taste.
If you want a different opinion about the Pepsi Next Paradise Mango, check out the review on the Impulsive Buy.

Who Didn’t Have This Toy?
Who didn’t have the Chatter Telephone while growing up as a kid? I never knew the toy’s name was Chatter Telephone, but I remember pulling that anachronism around.
Can kids nowadays even relate to the rotary phone interface?
What’s Going On Here?
Sorry for the mess, but I’m upgrading to the newest Thesis theme, version 2.0. This version is a major overhaul so things will continue to be messy for a while as I learn the new interface.
What You Don’t Want to See at Cars Land
Cars Land in California Adventure Park at Disneyland is great! It’s so realistic looking making the animated Radiator Springs a reality. But while visiting Cars Land, you don’t want to ever see this sign.
The wait times for the Radiator Springs Racers are brutal.
The Actor and a Pirate
To round out Series 8 of the LEGO minifigures, I think I’ll end with the Actor and the Pirate Captain. I’m missing three from the entire set but got the ones I wanted.
Ho’okipa Means Hospitality
Ho’okipa means hospitality, not cravable in the Hawaiian language. But these Ho’okipa sunglasses from Maui Jim are surely cravable in Hawaii (and other lands). All three colored lenses (bronze, grey, and rose) bring something different to the line.
While Maui Jim products are not eligible for Macy’s coupons and sales, if you buy two sets of sunglasses at Sunglass Hut in Macy’s you get $40 off a second pair. So use your Macy’s coupons on the first pair, then get $40 your MJ’s.
Of course, you can always shop at Amazon but without trying them on, comparing them with other sunglasses, getting serviced by staff, and getting them fitted.
