jurison's inn

The last time I ate at Jurison's Inn, was too far back to remember what I ate.

Their food is good and we happened to be in the area recently, so we picked up some lunch to take home.

My dad and I got their special teri-beef and kim chee burger. I got mine with fries, dad had his with tossed salad.

These sandwiches are HUGE! Lots of spicy kim chee and lots of sweet teri-beef.

The sweet, salty and spicy combination is out of this world. I really liked their onion buns too. Really soft, though with all that kim chee, the bottom bun was kinda smushy and soggy.

My dad and I ended up eating this with forks (and fingers).

Mom chose their teri-chicken sandwich.

She also chose a whole wheat bun and tossed salad. She liked the flavor of the chicken. She noted it was "messy" to eat...as everything fell out when she bit into it.

For $6.25 plus tax, you really get your money's worth, in my opinion. Each sandwich comes with fries, macaroni salad or tossed salad. You can also choose what type of bun you would like...though we had soggy buns, we'll be back.

UPDATE: I thought I had never tried Jurison's teri-beef kim chee burger, but actually found it in my archives...4 years ago! here.

hawaii eats (part 2)

As I look back, growing up in Hawaii was great, because of all the different kinds of foods you can get your hands on. Not only can you buy them as take out, but with all the different ingredients found at the local supermarkets, you can also make a lot of these foods too.

So, coming home for me is a chance to re-connect with all the foods that I loved while growing up.

Recently, my mom made a batch of Portuguese bean soup. I'm not too sure if it actually is a Portuguese dish, but one of the main ingredients is the spicy Portuguese sausage or linguisa. Linguisa is similar to chorizo. And although living in Hawaii doesn't always have soup eating climates, this soup is perfect for those wet, rainy days.

Another of my favorites is Korean food...kal-bi, mandoo, meat jun, kim chee...yum! Today I had lunch with my friend, Gaye. We ate at the Y'kele Korean BBQ at the Waikele Premium Outlet. For US$6.27, you can get this huge portion of Bi Bim Kook Soo--a cold somen noodle in a sweet broth, with lots of "namul" (a kind of marinade) veggies and a piece of barbecued beef on top. So filling and very delicious.
