Leftovers for lunch and dinner.

In the interest of back-filling some of the time I was away, here are the two best noodles I had in Hawaii.  The top one is the chicken curry udon from Coco Ichibanya, which is a chain.  A yummy, yummy chain.  I went to the one on McCully and Kapiolani.  I thought it was really good.  The soup was smooth and well-balanced.  If I have to complain about something it's that the curry wasn't that hot.  Also I got curry stains on my white shirt from slurping up the noodles.  But I guess I can't fairly blame them for that.

The bottom picture is the char sui (roast pork) tan tan ramen from Goma Tei in the Ward Center.  The tan tan was excellent -- a good spicy sesame/peanut flavor.  I mentioned it before, but I think there was too much char sui for the dish.  It threw off the balance.  Next time I'll get the straight tan tan ramen with a single piece of pork.

Lunch at the King of Thai with Jake and Rich.  Leftovers (the chicken and pork soft tofu hot pot (with rice) from Sunday) at home for dinner.

Beef curry clay pot leftovers for lunch -- it was part of the dinner I had with Jeff, Teresa, and Michael last week.  Still pretty good.  Typical, ya?  Curries always taste better the next day, after the flavors have a chance to meld together.  Turkey, sausage, and pepperocini pizza for dinner.  It was so-so.  The turkey (deli sliced) didn't add a whole lot of flavor, and the sausage looked better than it tasted.

Leftover sticky rice (Edith) and salmon (Mom) for lunch.  No picture.  I forgot.  I was deciding between eating the leftovers (which I took to work) and going to the pot pie place on Mission and Third.  I decided, in the end, to save my money and eat what I already have.  Pepperocini and artichoke heart pizza for dinner.  It turned out really well.  I am so in love with pepperocini.  I used the slightly wetter (68% vs 62% water) dough, which I like.
