Island Flavor – Hawaiian cooking Big Island Style

Posted on June 30, 2013 by sheong0903

My husband is from the Big Island in Hawaii (Hilo) and sometimes he craves for local food. We already went there several times and their food never disappoint.

Ordered loco moco on my first time here. Didn’t realize that the orders are big!

Big hamburger patty with loootttsss of gravy!

sooo big! was only able to finish half

Hubby loves this! chicken katsu with sauce. He always orders this!

They say that this is one of the best oxtail soups in Vegas. California hotel’s Aloha specialties has good oxtail soup too but I heard that Island Flavor’s version is better

so soft and not gamey at all!

Fruit punch is becoming my favorite drink. Raspberry iced tea is next

Time for dessert!

Guri guri is a famous dessert in Maui and this restaurant has someone from Maui making these desserts for them. It has a sherbet consistency to it but has creamier taste.

It’s available in strawberry and vanilla :

Hubby and I loved the strawberry flavor!

The next time I went back, I tried the chicken teriyaki salad for a healthier alternative

Again, it did not disappoint. Can’t wait to go back and try another dish next time 😀

My Freemont Street Experience

Posted on April 8, 2013 by sheong0903

December 3, 2012 ~ Finally enjoyed my 1st Freemont Street Experience! Vegas with a vintage feel 😀

This is where it all started more than 100 years ago…the heart of Downtown Vegas.

One of this tourist mecca’s most famous and historic streets, Fremont Street has been the site of numerous “firsts” in Las Vegas:

First paved street (1925).
First Nevada gaming license – issued to the Northern Club at 15 E. Fremont St.
First traffic light and first elevator (the Apache Hotel in 1932).
The Horseshoe was the first casino to install carpeting, while the Golden Nugget was the first structure designed from the ground up to be a casino. (source : http://www.vegasexperience.com)

You will also see the Viva Vision, a state-of-the-art 1,500-foot long LED screen – and a 550,000 watt concert quality sound system,the world’s largest LED screen . Viva Vision shows appear nightly on the hour beginning at dusk and are free and open to the public.
