Kauai Trip August 2015 Day 1

Another Hawaii Island, another sweaty vacation
I found a good Westin Princeville deal and off to Kauai we go!

Our Footprints on the secret Beach in Kauai

Waimea Canyon
It's a much more relaxing trip with a Uber car ride to the airport.
The standard free Mai Tai from Costco for all Hawaiian inbound flight!

Hamura Saimin
After arriving, we made a pit stop at Hamura Saimin which features old fashioned Saimin (aka egg noodles). I heard that it's a disappearing art in Hawaii and saw all the noodles making equipment that they still use everyday.

Nothing beats sweating all the pores out, eating hot noodle soup at 80 deg F at 80 percent humidity! Reminds me of Singapore all over again!


This is their lilikoi chiffon pie (aka passion fruit). A piece of heaven for the baker-wannabe in me! They have managed to create a structure that's light and airy, yet bouncy and structurally sound!
It's kind of fun pushing that around and seeing how it tremors and shakes, without falling.
oh calories! how i love u ! =)


After lunch, we made a costco run to stock up on booze and a few steak dinners essentials







Pono Market
And load up on ahi poke in Pono Market on the way to Westin Princeville.

Poke selections at Pono market, including squid poke
Lappert Ice Cream
We also stop at Lappert Ice cream for our essential introduction to Hawaiian homemade ice cream.
Throwdown between their banana fudge ice cream vs coconut macademia clusters ice cream!
