Hawaii (Day 1)

Oh boy! It was quite a trip. The first five days we spent with SK's family--his parents, who flew in from Malaysia, and his Uncle Thomas and Aunt Sandy, who live just off of Waikiki Beach. Being the typical Chinese family, we ate and ate and ate. In lots of buffets, too! I'm going to document a new post for each day I was there. Some will have pictures, some won't.

Day 1
By the time we all arrived in Hawaii, it was about 9 p.m. (after baggage claim), so we didn't have many choices. We went to Gordon Biersch, a bar cum restaurant in Aloha Towers. The food was so-so. I had a dish that consisted of grilled fish (can't remember what now), ginger rice and some steamed green beans. The rice reminded me of Hainanese chicken rice, and it was good, and the grilled fish was well done too. Uncle Thomas said his fish and chips wasn't up to standard, though.

Since it is now the rainy season, it rained! Luckily we were sitting inside but the those who were enjoying the Hawaiian weather outside weren't perturbed, even though their table umbrellas were blowing in the wind.
