Loco Moco at Last

This is loco moco, a Hawaiian special plate lunch including hamburger, rice, gravy, and a fried egg.
For years I've been saying that I wanted to try this local comfort food, invented here.
My loco moco today at Anuinui Cafe was a bit fancied up -- it included mushrooms, and the hamburger was
crumbled to bite-size instead of a patty. I enjoyed it. To the left you can see my lilikoi iced tea.

I haven't been neglecting my favorite flavor lilikoi. Here's a lilikoi
cheesecake from earlier this week. Lilikoi, as I've mentioned, is Hawaiian for passion fruit.

At Merriman's Hamburger and Pizza place I had another lilikoi mousse for lunch Tuesday.
I also had a scoop of lilikoi sorbet after lunch today.

For my main course at Merriman's I had this salad.

As we are getting ready to leave, we're still enjoying the island flavors. I've had quite a few more helpings of fresh local fish at various restaurants, but the pictures would be a bit repetitive!
