Where I Go Out
Ricotta toast, sorrel pesto rice bowl, malva bread pudding
"J’die @sqirlla: ricotta toast, sorrel pesto rice bowl, malva bread pudding"
Sautéed mushrooms
"Ever get mad because the food is so good 🤷🏻♀️"
Brioche ricotta toast
"Brioche ricotta dreamz with @bisqcambridge 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽"
Coconut Shrimp
"Coconut Shrimp"
Pork adobo
"Tangy and sweet with crispy griddled bits, this adobo is no joke. Or, try the adobo fried rice with two eggs for breakfast if you aren't ready for a fatty pork start to your morning."
Olowalu lime pie
"This pie will wake your tongue right up! So tart and smooth, and perfect with a cup of Maui Oma red cataui."
At My Venues
Double Awesome
"It's a super light, flaky scallion pancake wrapped around poached eggs, cheddar cheese and a local greens pesto. It's messy but fun to eat. Breakfast all day!"
Double Awesome
"They use a scallion pancake as sandwich bread and fill it with pesto, cheese, greens and eggs. Make sure to get it with the spicy ketchup. It's so good I always immediately want another one to go."
