Lani's 1st Hawaii and Emma's 3rd Hawaii trip a success! We stayed on Waikiki at the Wynham vacation rentals and the location couldn't be better. We were walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops! Although it was not the most relaxing vacation, it was all worth it to see the smiles and hear the laughter from the kiddos.
On Lani's actual birthday, we went to Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin which was an authentic tonkatsu restaurant from Tokyo. The food was truly to die for! We had brunch celebration at the Orchid restaurant within Halekulani. The brunch was authentic Hawaiian with variety of poke, crispy whole pig, and two kids of haupia cake. We joined Tamashiro's Sunday BBQ for family gossips and mingling with cousins. Then we ended the trip at our favorite Hawaiian restaurant - Side Street Inn - for kim chee fried rice, fried pork chops, fried chicken, and poke.
Roger and I did escape for a couple of date nights. One of the places we tried this time was Imanas Tei which was a izakaya that had really fresh sushi.
Mahalo to Mom and Dad for making it all possible!
