Snowboarding at Skibowl - Taking snowboard video with GoPro for the first time!

Skibowl is a ski resort located by Mount Hood. In comparison to Timberline and Mount Hood Meadows, Skibowl has less trails and the difficulty is easier.  Skibowl however, is closer to reach and it is about an hour away from Portland.  Skibowl is splitted into Skibowl East and Skibowl West.  Most of the trails are located at Skibowl West and Skibowl East has adventure park that has snow tubing and other things.  Skibowl also offers season pass ticket and 2 different types of day lift ticket.  For day lift ticket, you can choose to purchase lift ticket that is valid from open to 4PM or from 11PM to 7PM.  Skibowl also has ski and snowboard rental of course just like other ski resort.


This weekend we decided to go to Skibowl to snowboard since the weather is sunny. We left Portland around 9AM and got to Skibowl around 10AM. The road condition in Mount Hood was good and isn't any snow on the ground.  When we got to Skibowl, the parking lot was nearly full.  We had o be very careful to not to hit the car on the side. Moreover, the parking fee is $6 if you don't have snow park pass.

The weather was really amazing on this day and there was a lot of people taking lessons. We went directly to take the lift to the Lower Bowl trail.  When we were about to get off the lift, the person in front of us got his backpack tied up on the lift chair. This is extremely dangerous.  If the guy is also tied up to the chair, he would be dragged away by the lift chair and potentially hurt himself.  Thus if you are going to carry a backpack, make sure to put the backpack in front of you and make sure the backpack does not have any lose straps.

When we got up to the Lower Bowl, the weather at the top is a bit gloomy and there was a bit of hail.  This did not stop us from doing snowboarding however!  At the top of Lower Bowl, you can go right or left. Right side is green and right side is black. We took the green trail to the right. Going down the green trail, it will make a turn when it reaches the warming house. The warming house is at the middle of the trail for people to rest and there is also a rest room.  It is at a very convenient spot for people coming down from the top of the mountain.

The Lower Bowl trail is a nice long green trail.  It took us about 3 minutes to get to the bottom of the green trail. Since the bottom of the trail is very close to the lift, make sure to slow down when you get close to the bottom.

Overall, Skibowl is a nice place to go to for snowboarding.  It is quite close and the trail is wide and not too difficulty.  It is very suitable for beginners to learn ski or snowboarding.

Toshi - A family owned Japanese restaurant

Toshi is a family owned Japanese restaurant located in Beaverton.  The restaurant is located at the intersection of 185th street and Baseline.  Toshi offers authentic experience for dining at a Japanese family owned restaurant where sometimes the restaurant also offers seasonal specials. Although the name of the restaurant indicates sushi bar, Toshi also offers other dishes such as Udon, Ramen, bowl of rice, and other Japanese dish.


We have been to Toshi many times. in fact, Toshi is one of the first restaurants that I have been to when we moved to Oregon few year ago.  Since it is a family owned restaurant, there aren't many tables at the restaurant. The restaurant can fit at most 30-40 people.  Every time we go to Toshi, we always had to wait for a while to get seats if we don't go there early.  Even if we get our seats, sometimes it takes a while to get our sushi order to be delivered to our table because there are just too many sushi orders to be taken care of. There is only 1 sushi chef and he has to take care of both dine in sushi orders and take out sushi orders.

Luckily, we did not have to wait for our table when we went to Toshi on this very Friday night. We got our table right away and placed our sushi order. We ordered 5 sushi rolls this time. It includes Alaska Roll, Salmon Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Eel Roll, and Tempura Roll.

After we placed our order, we were served with Miso Soup and Salad. I really like the Miso Soup here. It really feels like a home made soup.  Another thing is that the green tea at Toshi is also really good. We recommend to have the green tea when you dine there.

10 minutes later, our sushi order is here and served in a big circular plate.  The Alaska Roll has tempura flakes on it with spicy sauce.  I like the crunchy taste, but it is not my favorite due to the cooked fish in there. We could not tell what the fish is.

Next sushi roll is Spicy Tuna Roll.  It is a simple sushi roll that contains tuna inside a regular sushi roll with spicy sauce on top of it.  The tuna is quite flash and it does meet the expectation of a Spicy Tuna Roll.

Salmon Roll is my favorite. Although this is just a regular ordinary salmon roll, but I love the texture and the taste of salmon!

I like the Eel Roll the least. For some reason it has a fishy smell.  I am guessing that it is because this Eel Roll uses sea eel instead of fresh water eel. There is an option to choose fresh water eel instead when you order Eel Roll, but it is just a bit more expensive.

The last roll is Tempura Roll.  It has a tempura prawn in there with bean sprout, and also has some mayo on it.  This Tempura Roll is quite small however since it only came with 4 pieces instead of 6.

Overall, I felt like Toshi has degraded in terms of food quality. We were a bit disappointed when we went this time.  It also seems like Toshi has lost quite a lot of customers because Toshi is usually full of people on Friday that and this time we didn't have to wait for our tables.  We will still go to Toshi once a while, but probably won't have a high expectation like before.

French Press - A cafe with French crepe

French Press is a cafe styled restaurant providing French coffee drinks and various crepes.  It is located in Salem, capitol of Oregon.  The restaurant itself is located on Commercial Street and right across from Panera Bread.  The restaurant is a little bit far for people from Portland since it takes about an hour to travel from Portland to Salem.  However, if you happen to go to Woodburn outlet to do some shopping, Salem is just about 15 miles away. Thus it is not a bad idea to travel a bit further to Salem to try some of the local restaurant such as French Press.


We travelled down to Salem this weekend morning through the heavy rain because we were taking the car to do its annual maintenance check.  We went to the dealer in Salem because we bought the car there with a better deal and we were given a free maintenance service. The dealer happens to be on Commercial Street as well and is very close to French Press.  After we got our car an hour later, we headed to French Press.

When we got there, we found that the parking lot space for each car is quite small.  Most of the parking space in the parking lot is for compact cars.  We don't usually park the car at compact car parking space since we drive an SUV.  Luckily, we were able to find a regular sized parking space to park our car.

Whenever we go to the French cafe, we always like to order crepes.  French Press offers sweet crepes and savory crepes.  Thus we ordered a banana sweet crepe and a turkey savory crepe.  After we placed the order, they give us a number to hold on to and they will deliver the food to our table.

The first crepe is the banana crepe.  Like any other banana crepe that you see at other restaurants, this banana crepe at French Press is always drizzled with chocolate.  It also has whip creme on the side.  Originally I thought there isn't anything inside the crepe, but I found that there is custard creme in there and it fits so well into this sweet banana chocolate drizzled crepe.

The second crepe is the turkey crepe.  This is a savory crepe and not a sweet crepe.  Inside the crepe, there is cheese, spinach, turkey, and tomato.  The cheese is melted perfectly in the crepe and the spinach is well cooked as well.  On top of that, the crepe was not over cooked at all.  I have seen other restaurant's savory crepe being over cooked because they want the meet to be cooked in the crepe.

Overall, I love this French crepe place! I really loved the custard creme inside the sweet chocolate crepe. This is a must try place when you visit Salem.

Glass Orb Treasure Hunt at Lincoln City

Lincoln City is located on the coast of central Oregon.  It is about 2 hours away from Portland.  Although it is not a big cities, it still has many beach resorts along its 7 miles long beach.  Each year, Lincoln City hosts a glass orb treasure hunt event along the beach of Lincoln City.  (you can find more details here) The starting point is from Road's End State Park to Siletz River.  The local glass craftsman create these beautiful beautiful glass orbs and hide them on the beach for people to find.  Once people found the glass orb, one can register it online to see who made it.  


During this President's Day long weekend, we decided to try our luck and see if we can find a glass orb.  It was also stated that there will be more glass orb along the beach during the long weekend.  We left Portland around 8AM in the morning and headed towards Lincoln City.  Although the weather report said the weather is just going to be cloudy and would not rain, it was raining very hard when we were driving through the mountain. Luckily, when we got to Lincoln city around 10AM in the morning, the rain has stopped.

We parked the car at Road's End State Park.  There are about 70 parking spaces there and it does get full later in the day.  However, you can choose to park along the side of the street if the parking lot is full.

We got off the car and started walking down the beach towards South.  The event information states that the glass orbs will only be hidden on the high tide area of the beach, thus we were walking along the hide tide area and looking for glass orbs around the logs and grass.  Along the beach, there were also few other people searching for the glass orb but it did not look like anyone has found one yet. 

After walking along the beach for about 3 miles, we decided to take a break from treasure hunting and go for lunch.  Thus we took the beach access point 44 and headed back up to Highway 101 to have lunch at Maxwell's Restaurant.  After lunch, we were fully recharged and head back down to the beach to look for glass orbs.

After 2 more hours of searching, we decided to give up on searching for glass orbs.  This was more difficulty that I thought and could not find a single one.  Maybe our luck will be better next time and actually find one!

Maxwell's Restaurant - A local restaurant at Lincoln City

Maxwell's Restaurant is one of the larger restaurant in Lincoln City Oregon.  The restaurant is located conveniently on the scenic highway of Highway 101.  The restaurant is also located very close to the resorts at the beach, thus it is a place where many tourists would go to.  The restaurant also opens for 21 hours on Friday and Saturday, thus it is a great place to hang out during the weekend.

Maxwell restaurant offers daily breakfast menu till 3PM in the afternoon and there is a special menu item each day.  In addition, other than being a restaurant that serves food and drinks, it also has a lounge for adults to enjoy their drinks.  Moreover, there is karaoke where people can enjoy singing.  Last and not the least, Maxwell's Restaurant does provide banquet service. It has a big room that can fit around 40 people.

When we got to the restaurant, we were already quite tired from glass orb treasure hunting along the beach in the morning. (you can read more about glass orb treasure hunting here) There weren't many people in the restaurant when we sat down.  We had to wait a bit for the server to give us menu and there were only 2 servers at that time.  The items on the menu are like any other restaurant. It has breakfast menu that includes omelet, pancakes, and other items. Lunch menu includes sandwich, fish and chips, and others.  This time we chose to order Fish and Chips, and Crab Cake. Also, one reminder is that the restaurant serves Pepsi instead of Coke, if this matters to you.

After a while, our meal is here. The fish and chips lunch uses cod for the fish.  The meal comes with 4 pieces of cod. This is usually a piece more than other restaurants. Other restaurants usually give 3 pieces. If you don't like cod, you can choose to have halibut instead.  The fish is not bad. It is crunchy on the outside, and still very hot and juice inside. There isn't a lot of batter on the fish either, which is good.  The fries is not as good. It tasted like McDonald's fries. This is my personal opinion however, since I like thick fries instead of thin fries.

The second meal is the crab cake.  This meal came with 3 pieces of fried crab cake and a garlic toast. The garlic toast is pretty good. I actually like it quite a lot. However, the crab cake is a little disappointing.  The crab cake has a lot of mashed potato is there. So it tastes more like hash brown instead of crab cake.  The amount of crabs in this crab cake is a bit too little. So I don't recommend to order this crab cake when you go there.

Furthermore, these lunch menu items are also served with your choice of green salad or cup chowder soup.  Green salad comes with croutons on top. The cup chowder is pretty good and served with 2 different types of crackers.

Overall, this restaurant is about average in my opinion. It is located at a convenient location however, so it is still a good place to have lunch at after spending a day at the beach.

Full Sail Brew Pub - A pub with its own brewery!

Full Sail Brew Pub is located in the town of Hood River. It is about 70 miles East of Portland.  Hood River is known to be the home of many breweries and Full Sail Brew Pub has its own brewery as well.  in fact, the Full Sail brewery is the largest brewery in Hood River. You can see the sign of Full Sail brewery from highway I84.  The Full Sail brewery even provides guided tour to its brewery.


The Full Sail Brew Pub also offers outdoor patio seats.  Even during the winter season, the patio is covered up with plastic covers, so the patio is still open for people to dine.  In addition, the pub offers beer tasting samplers. This tasting sampler comes with 6 different flavors for the cost of $14.  I think it is a good deal, although I don't really drink.  If you are like me who does not enjoy drinking beer but still want to try Full Sail's product, you can try their Root Beer.  Full Sail does brew their own Root Beer as well.  Furthermore, Full Sail brewery has its regular beer flavors and seasonal flavors. I highly recommend people to try the seasonal beers.

When we go there, we did not order any beer since we are not beer drinkers like I mentioned before.  One of the menu item surprised me. This item is Udon! I was not expecting to see this type of restaurant to offer Udon!  I actually thought about ordering it just to see what it is like, but I decided to go with their signature burger. Thus we ordered a Full Sail Burger and a Salmon Cake.

About 5 minutes later, the burger is here! The Full Sail burger comes with the usual cheese, tomato, and lettuce.  On top of the usual stuff, it also has caramelized onion! I love the onion so much!  You can also choose how you want the beef to be cooked. I chose medium for mine and it is cooked perfectly.  A lot of juice is still locked inside the beef and the beef is not so raw either!  Lot of juice coming out of the beef when I took a bite.  I love the fries as well. The fries was thick and crunchy. Yes, I love thick fries!

The second dish is the salmon cake.  It comes with 3 pieces of salmon cakes, coleslaw, and a cup of spicy mayo sauce I think. The coleslaw and the spicy mayo sauce are just like any other ones that you would see at other restaurant.  However, I really like the salmon cake though.  The salmon cake is made out of smashed salmon, some mashed potato, green onion, carrot, and other stuff.  It is pan fried to have some crunchiness to it.  The flavor of salmon is still strong in the cake although it is mixed with many other stuff.

Overall, this restaurant is a must visit place when you go to Hood River.  Although we are not drinkers, I recommend people to try the sampler that the pub offers since it is fresh from their brewery.  Moreover, I recommend people to go there early if you decide to dine there as the restaurant can get quite packed.  Lastly, don't forget to pay for your parking!  All the street parking at Hood River require pay to park!  The maximum cost is just $3.

The Old Spaghetti Factory - Chain Italian restaurant from Portland!

The Old Spaghetti Factory opened its very first restaurant in Portland in 1969.  Since then, it has expanded its presence across North America in many major cities!  The one we went to is at Tanasbourne in Hillsboro Oregon. This is quite a large restaurant and can accommodate a lot of people.  In addition, I really like the interior design of The Old Spaghetti Factory. It has a lot of unique features and decorations that assemble the Italian culture.  Many of its tables are also unique from one to the other. Some tables have chairs that are similar to King's chair. Some tables are inside this street car that you would see in Italy.  At the entrance of the restaurant, you would also see rather pretty stain glass.


All the entree on the menu comes with a 3 course meal. For appetizer, you can choose between soup and salad. There are few choices of ice cream flavors that you can pick fro dessert.  Also, The Old Spaghetti Factory offers some unique Italian drink.  Italian Cream Soda is one of them. We did not order this drink this time, but we were told that it comes with a special glass and you can take it home afterwards.

After we placed our order, here comes a loaf of uncut bread.  The bread is really hot and fresh! When I cut the bread to half, I could smell a fresh scent of wheat.  The only difficult part for me is to hold down the bread when cutting it because the bread is way too hot!  It also comes with a small cup of cream cheese. I just wish that they can give more cream cheese next time.  After all, it is a whole loaf of bread! I guess they would have given more cream cheese if I have asked.

For appetizer, we ordered a green salad and soup.  The salad is nothing special and there are several usual dressings that you can pick from. As for soup, there is only minestrone and it is like any usual minestrone soup.

The first entree we got is the Jumbo Crab Ravioli.  As you can see from the picture, the ravioli in this dish is gigantic!  These raviolis are filled with crab meat!  I like this ravioli quite a lot because the only thing that is inside ravioli is crab meat.  There isn't any cheese inside ravioli.  The cheese is only part of the sauce.  Speaking of the sauce, I wish that they could have put more sauce on the ravioli.  As you can see from the picture, the creamy sauce only covered several raviolis but not all of them.

The second entree we ordered is the lasagna.  Everything on the lasagna and in this lasagna is what I expected; however, I find this lasagna to be different from what I was expecting.  I was expecting the lasagna to be baked with some crunchy crust. I did not find any crunchy part on this lasagna. I am not sure if this is what a real lasagna should be?  It does have a lot of flavor though. It just surprised me with no crunchiness.

Finally here comes the dessert.  We chose spumoni and rainbow sherbet.  The spumoni ice cream has 3 flavors including chocolate, strawberry, and pistachio.  I love the taste of pistachio. It has this sweet pistachio when you eat the ice cream.  It is quite an unique and different taste.  Rainbow sherbet is also good, but not as unique as spumoni.  It is like any sherbet that has some sour and sweet taste.

Overall, The Old Spaghetti Factory is a decent Italian restaurant to go to once a while.  The restaurant spent a lot of effort on its interior design to provide an absolute unique dining experience. I think there could be some improvement on the food though, but the dessert is quite amazing.

HK Cafe - Incredible Cantonese Dim Sum

HK Cafe is a Cantonese style Dim Sum restaurant. Dim Sum means dessert in Cantonese and Dim Sum includes a huge variety of different small plate dishes and are served with tea most of the time.  HK Cafe is not different and it is exactly what Cantonese Dim Sum is. The Chinese name of this restaurant is actually called "Red Cafe". I am not quite sure why the English name is chosen to be HK Cafe. The restaurant also opens quite early during the day at 9:30AM to let customer to enjoy morning Dim Sum.  This restaurant is located at the new China town location by 82nd Street at Southeast Portland, which is actually quite far from what I live. It actually took 45 minutes to drive to the restaurant.


When we got to the restaurant, it was about 1PM.  We were shocked by the number of people waiting in line for their table. When we got our wait list number, there were 50 numbers ahead of us! This was crazy! Since we drove for nearly an hour to come here to try this restaurant, we decided to wait.  We went to the Dollar Tree next door to buy some essential items first and went back to the restaurant to wait for the call of our number.  When we went back to the restaurant, we were surprised on how fast the wait list is moving.  This was probably because many people just left when they saw a huge wait list.  About 5 minutes later, our number was called.  So the total wait time was only about 20 minutes, which is not bad.

We were led to our table and the server brought us a pot of tea and glasses with water. We were surprised that the server did not ask what tea we would like to have. I am guessing that they only server 1 type of tea? I usually prefer to have Jasmine tea, but it is not a big deal.  When the Dim Sum karts came by, we quickly ordered the usual iconic dishes including Chicken Sticky Rice, Siu Mai, Shrimp Dumpling, Egg Tart, and Pineapple Bun.

The Chicken Sticky Rice came with 2 pieces per dish.  The sticky rice is wrapped in lotus leaf and steamed.  I must say this dish at HK Cafe really kept up to the par and is really good. The sticky rice was soft and the meat inside the sticky was juicy.  When I opened up the lotus leaf that wrapped around the sticky rice, I could smell a faint lotus leaf smell.  The only thing that I did not like is that there is egg and small shrimp in sticky rice. I am not a big fan of having egg and small shrimp inside sticky rice. This is only my personal preference however, other people probably prefer this more.

The next dish is Shrimp Dumpling.  This dish is a must order dish whenever you go to a Dim Sum restaurant.  It is a dumpling with shrimp as its filling.  The filling only has shrimp and nothing else.  The dumpling wrap is clear enough that you can see the filling inside the dumpling. HK Cafe's Shrimp Dumpling is just amazing. I put the whole shrimp dumpling in my mouth to finish it in one bite. I could taste the sweetness of the shrimp and the shrimp was not dry at all!

Then here comes Siu Mai.  Just like Shrimp Dumpling, this is also a must order dish at a Dim Sum restaurant.  The Siu Mai dish at HK Cafe does not have an appealing look. I did not think it would taste good.  I was wrong when I had a bite at it.  This Siu Mai was as amazing as the shrimp dumpling.  The Siu Mai was so juicy and also has sweetness in it. HK Cafe has not disappoint so far!

Now here comes the dessert dish. The first dessert dish we got is Egg Tart. This is one of the iconic dessert dish at a Dim Sum place.  It has egg being baked at the center of the tart with crispy crust on the side.  This dish was very well done at HK Cafe.  When we got the egg tart, it was still warm!  It is the best to have the egg tart while it is still warm!

The last dish we got is Pineapple Bun. Now, this bun is not made out of pineapple even though it is called Pineapple Bun.  It is called Pineapple Bun because the top of the bun looks like pineapple texture.  This was the best Dim Sum dish at HK Cafe to me.  This Pineapple Bun has custard filling inside the bun! When we got the Pineapple Bun, it was still warm! The top of the bun was crispy and warm. When I had a bite, the warm custard filling was dripping out. This was an amazing experience!  This is a must try dish at HK Cafe and I could see that every table has ordered this dish!

Overall, HK Cafe is an amazing Cantonese Dim Sum restaurant. I can only wish that it is closer to where I live!

Ramen Ryoma - Japanese Noodle House

Ramen Ryoma is a warm family oriented Japanese restaurant that mainly sells Japanese ramen.  It is located close to downtown Beaverton and just beside Uwajimaya Japanese supermarket.  Ryoma in Japanese means dragon horse.  As you can see from the photo below, the banner of the restaurant has a drawing of an animal that looks like a horse, but it has the head of a dragon.  There are also 2 Chinese characters on the banner that says dragon horse.  Ramen Ryoma's current restaurant location used to be a Thai restaurant. The Thai restaurant did not attract much customers even though there is a lot of people doing grocery shopping at Uwajimaya supermarket. Thus the Thai restaurant closed down and the new restaurant is Ramen Ryoma. Ramen Ryoma seems to be rather well and had a waiting list.

When we got to Ramen Ryoma, the first thing we did is to put down our name on the waiting list. There are several seats at the entrance for people to sit on while waiting, or we just did a walk in Uwajimaya supermarket while waiting for our table to be ready.  After around 15 minutes, our table is ready and the server took us to our table.  One thing I would like to mention is that there is a large table at the center of the restaurant for large party of people. However, when the restaurant is really packed, the server may offer you to sit at the large table. This means that you might share the table with other people.  It is not too big of a deal for me, but some people may not like it.  If the server does offer this option, it does not mean you have to take it. You can decline the offer and wait for your own private table.

Ramen Ryoma offers ramen in 3 different soup base. This includes miso, salt, and soy sauce. This time we ordered a basic ramen with miso soup base and a deluxe ramen with miso soup base.

Around 5 minutes later, the ramen is ready and brought to the table.  The basic ramen is more plain. It has 1 piece of seaweed, 1 piece of Chasu pork, bean sprouts and green onions.  This met our expectation.  The miso soup base was amazing however.  Unlike regular miso soup, the miso soup base used at Ramen Ryoma has a lot more flavor.  It is not like any plain miso soup.  It is likely that pork was added as part of miso soup base making process.  The ramen noodle is quite chewy. The ramen noodle did not feel like it's over boiled and thus Ramen Ryoma did a great job on this.

The deluxe ramen has a lot more stuff on it compared to basic ramen.  Instead of 1 piece of seaweed, it has 3 pieces of seaweed.  Instead of 1 piece of Chasu pork, it has 3 pieces of Chasu pork.  On top of bean sprout and green onions, it also comes with an egg. The addition of all these ingredients make the ramen look more appealing.  The deluxe ramen was also upgraded to large size. One downside is that although ramen is added to large size, I do not think more soup was added.

Overall, Ramen Ryoma offers great Japanese ramen experience.  Other than offering basic size and large size, it also has super large size at additional cost if you are very hungry.  I have not tried salt soup base and soy sauce soup base, but miso soup base looks the best on the photo.  One major down fall is that Ramen Ryoma does not put a lot of soup in the bowl which I think this is something that needs to be improved upon.

Roxy's Island Grill - Amazing Hawaiian Teriyaki

Roxy's Island Grill is a restaurant that sells Hawaiian styled teriyaki and burgers.  The reception of this chain restaurant is well received by people in Portland.  The original Roxy's Island Grill restaurant located in Beaverton and this location is always full of customers. Whenever I go to this location, I always have to wait for about 30 minutes before I can get my order.  Most recently, it has opened another one at its new location in Hillsboro. This new Hillsboro location is actually closer to me and has much less people.  The new location also has much larger dine in seating space and serves food a lot faster.


Roxy's Island Grill has several items on its menu and most of them are teriyaki related. It also sells noodles, burgers, and fries if you would like to have some. My recommendation is to get teriyaki chicken or teriyaki beef because these are the best. Roxy's teriyaki sauce is also amazing and you can get as much sauce as you want.

This time we ordered a teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef.  Whenever we order teriyaki beef we always to have to wait for about 10 minutes. This is because the kitchen has to make teriyaki beef on the fly. I usually prefer to have teriyaki beef over chicken because teriyaki beef is more tender.  With green onion added on top of the teriyaki beef, it just brings out the flavor.  Teriyaki chicken is good too, but it is just not as tender as the beef.

The meal comes with two scoops of rice and one scoop of macaroni salad. You can choose to swap the side with fried noodle or seaweed salad as well with additional cost.  I really like the macaroni salad from Roxy's. It is silky smooth and has a lot of flavor. When the macaroni salad is mixed with teriyaki sauce, the taste is just amazing.  One of the cool thing is that they use ice cream scoop to scoop the rice and macaroni salad!

Other than the food, Roxy's Island Grill also sells classic Hawaiian soft drinks.

Lastly, although some people dine at the restaurant, I have always ordered take out at Roxy's Island Grill for convenience. I just think it is better to enjoy the food at home and watch TV at the same time. Moreover, Roxy's Island Grill provides catering service and this is also how I found out about this amazing place!
