First stop: Jack in the box
I always have to get my 3 mozzarella cheese sticks with marinara sauce. I had a breakfast sausage croissant but it wasn't good. -__- My bf had a sour dough steak melt, it was awesome! LOL..in comparison.

Also stopped by a Starbucks because we needed something to keep us going for the morning!
Next food stop is L&L Hawaiian BBQ! It was okay...it kind of tasted like Korean/Chinese food. It was extremely flavourful but a little dry and fatty. The spam musubi was bizarre! I will not buy the spam musubi again.

Stopped by
Macrina Bakery and Cafe for some desserts/baked goods. The cake and cookies were so delicious! I never tasted anything as good as these baked goods in Vancouver. The cake is so moist and rich. My bf really liked the cookie too.

Last stop in Seattle was at
Maximus Minimus! It was on tv..on the food network but I forgot what show. It looks awesome but the taste wasn't for me. It reminded me of the left over Chinese soup meat inside a bun marinaded in bbq sauce. The truck was so cool though...it was shaped like a pig!

-Carm
Jack in the box is amazing <3 So big and cheap and fattening! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL, agreed! Lucky it's not in Vancouver otherwise I would be eating there a lot and then get super fat..lol
Deletelol it's called a Spam Musubi. I personally love it, but I guess it's cause I grew up with it. It's practically a state food back in Hawaii :)(we have it on the breakfast menu at Mcdonalds as well!) I suppose its an acquired taste though because I know many people who hate it. Cute blog by the way!
ReplyDeletelol..thanks for letting me know the correct term! I shall update my post accordingly. ;)
DeleteAhh...a staple food! It was strange to me as I never tried Hawaiian food before..perhaps I will appreciate it more if I try it more!
Thanks for leaving a comment! I love reading comments!
Hi. I gotta say I rly enjoy ur blog 8)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say when I saw ur spam musubi comment I LoL.
But it doesn't look appetizing. or like my friend said when i showed it to her "looks shitty" >> the spam looks old and overcook. n the nori too 8(.
u need to come down to Hawaii n try some authentic spam musubi ;)
Hi Carmen,
DeleteWe share the same name! lol..thank you for commenting and I am glad u enjoy reading my blog. I enjoy posting my pictures and reviews. :D
The spam musubi that I tried was terrible....I took a bite just to try it and that was it, I threw the rest away. :( wasting food sucks but it was really dry....and strange... I am glad to know that the authentic version taste better! I shall visit Hawaii one day and try it again based on ur comment! LOL...u made a small change in my life! I am willing to retry this food item.
Again, thanks for reading and your comment! ;)
