Byodo-In Temple and Kualoa Ranch/Jurassic Valley
A-must try cocktail while you're in Hawaii is the one called Lava flow. It's a rum base drink that is blended together with strawberries and coconut cream. It is kinda similar to Pina Colada drink but even yummier. This tropical booze has a thick and creamy texture, sweet and very delicious. In this restaurant, they also do Mango flow. Both are worth to try.
We had only some nibbles to accompany our drinking night. We got a deep-fried calamari dish with some furikake sprinkled on top. Never had a calamari with furikake, they actually went well together. It gives me an idea of doing this, I will try it with some fried chicken at home. Then, we also ordered poke dish with spicy tuna. The first bowl was spotted on, fresh and delicious. So, we ordered the second one exactly the same dish. But it didn't turn up the same, still fresh though but somehow it was too salty like they forgot and drop salt twice.
We also got a medium rare ribeye steak. You can see from the picture, the meat wasn't cook properly and different consistency too. Some side was overcooked and some other side which mainly in the middle was still fairly raw. The meat was really chewy too, very unpleasant to eat. Especially, for the price we paid, I could get a really decent steak dish in Sydney. We're extremely disappointed with this dish. The menu here is a bit hit-and-miss, some food are fantastic but others are disappointing.
