SASHIMI AND AVOCADO

DINNER AT HOME

When you see an untreated fresh piece of Ahi like this, you just gotta grab it despite the high price of over $50 per pound.  This Sashimi was like butter and so delicious.  One of my fave light and satisfying meals.

We were in the area where Don Quijote is located.  I have not been in this store for years and years and remember going there when it was called Holiday Mart back in the day.  At that time I would go to Holiday Mart because they often had the lowest prices on beer.  They now have a small Food Court in front of the store with several Japanese restaurants, a Thai restaurant and Leo's Taverna.  I remember loving Leo's Gyro's at the old Aloha Stadium during Hawaii football games.  They still taste great!

Another perfect dinner at Margotto Hawaii.  Love eating here and bringing guests to my fave spot on Oahu.  Chef Shiori joined us for a splash of vino and then prepared some of her new menu items for us.  New on the menu is the Squid Ink Pasta and Pasta with Sage Butter.  Both delicious but the Bolognese is still my favorite.

Margotto has been our favorite restaurant on Oahu for over a year now.  Cannot get enough of this delicious food.  The Pastas are our favorite and the Caviar Egg is amazing.  Highly recommend the Mashed Potatoes and if you want to splurge, order it with Foie Gras on top.  While not on the dinner menu, the Chef was able to prepare the Margotto Burger for us and it was delicious.  The meat shines through with a hint of truffle.  This dinner was so good and I want to go back already!
