Belated bday lunch with a good friend...

So a good friend of mine contacted me,

And offered to take me out to lunch as a belated birthday gift.  And if you know me and food, I always jump at the opportunity, lol.  One cool thing about this particular friend is that she always gets me to try different kinds of food that I've never tried before.  So we headed on over to the urban Kaka‘ako area to Cocina's for some Mex-mix food.  It was a first time for me, but I was super impressed with their infusion of locally grown products to create their mouth watering dishes.  So on the menu we had...

Their version of french fries, oh man, to good to even try and explain...

Then we had us some fish tacos, hella yummy...

And the ultimate kicker in yummy-ness were these tree hugger tacos, made entirely out of vegetables.  OMG, these were the bomb diggity!

And as if that wasn't enough, she took me over to a very memorable dessert experience to Wing's Ice Cream in Downtown Honolulu, for some, get this, for a scoop of hurricane (nori and mochi crunch) popcorn and a scoop of garlic ice cream.

In all honesty, it was preeeeeeeeety good!  But much thanks "A" for some hella good food!
