Hawaiian Barbecue

Marga's Foodblog: Restaurant Reviews + Wikiwiki Hawaiian -- Marga's Foodblog recipes - reviews - rants « Ono Hawaiian BBQ | Main | Got a lot of books » October 10, 2005 Restaurant Reviews + Wikiwiki Hawaiian Even though I've been eating out quite a bit lately, I've been very remiss about writing about the restaurants I've visited. Of course, you could argue that there is absolutely no reason why I should be writing about the restaurants in the first place, but as long as I do it, I figure I should be comprehensive. I'm particularly interested on being comprehensive about San Leandro restaurants, as there aren't really good resources out there on the San Leandro restaurant scene (and given how poor it is, no wonder). The problem comes when I go to a restaurant I don't particularly like and then I forget to write the review. After a while, i feel compell to go back and write it, and yet I don't want to go back and waste money in subpar food. But if I don't, my guide will never be comprehensive. This has happened with Buffet Fortuna - a horrible Chinese buffet located near the downtown Safeway, with Bancheros, an institution serving Chef-Boyardee tasting Italian food in Hayward and with a couple of burger joints. It also happened with Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ on East 14th, near Bayfair mall, which I visited last June. Wikiwiki is one of the many Hawaiian BBQ joints that have sprouted in San Leandro in the last year. As I've written before, I've found most of them to be underwhelming, and while Wikiwiki wasn't the worst, it certainly does not merit another visit. As in the other restaurants, I found the chicken to have a strange consistency, very dense, almost canned-like. I can only speculate as to what gives chicken that horrible consistency at Hawaiian BBQ places. One theory is that the high salt & sugar content of the marinade dries out the meat making it denser. Anothe perhaps more likely one, is that the places use "chicken filets", scraps of chicken that are manually pressed and glued together into the desired shape. The taste was OK, nothing special but certainly edible. I also ordered the lau lau pork, pork wrapped in taro leaves and steamed. The pork was covered with a shredded green substance that might have been the taro leaves, but more likely was seaweed. It certainly imparted a very fishy taste to the pork, which I found quite unpleasant, but others might like. I can't imagine going there again. Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ 15696 E 14th St San Leandro, CA (510) 276-0777 Posted by marga at October 10, 2005 08:28 AM| TrackBack Comments I have lived in southern california for quite a while and there are tons of L&Ls in my area. I visited Wikiwiki and thought that the food was same if not better than the other ones that i have eaten at. And about the Lau Lau, i believe that it consists of pork, butterfish, and taro leaves. I loved it, so i think that only local/or people who knows what it is able to judge and enjoy this hawaiian dish. Thanks..just my thoughts.

Hawaiian City Garden

.:::BOTANICAL GARDEN CITY of the North Mayor urges the world to continue environmental advocacy By: William Jun Garcia SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union-City Mayor Mary Jane C. Ortega urged the citizenry to continue its awareness on environmental concerns to avert impending disasters. The Mayor, who was invited by the 1,200-members of the Global Advisory Council for Mayors in Ottawa, Canada last week, said that a continued promotion on our environment would help the world delay the greenhouse effect on the aftermath of a global warming or an irregular climate change. She warned that a continued promotion and the prevention of an unabated abuse and degradation of the environment would also slow down the effects of ice or glacial melting on our oceans and the eventual sea-level rise and atmospheric problems due to solar radiation and pollution on man. The Mayor, who is internationally recognized for including in her governance a strict implementation, protection and preservation of environment and clean air and also addressing its concerns, has initiated the establishment of a sanitary landfill, soon-to-be converted into an engineered landfill in Barangay Mameltac. She likewise initiated for the City Council, through Vice Mayor Bernardo Nardi Valero, to enact and approve a city ordinance, mandating public utility tricycle engines to be converted from two to four strokes to minimize smog emission that pollute the air. These programs are one reason why she was the only Asian invited to speak among 14 mayors from all over the world during the conference. She was also considered as the spokesperson for a developing city from a developing country. She also added that climate change could not be stopped rather it has just started as manifested by the unusual strong hurricanes, series of earthquakes and strong tsunamis happening throughout world. These disasters were earlier predicted by experts to happen 75 years (year 2080) from now but are now ironically occurring according to the Mayor. Among the attendants in the said conference were mayors or representatives from local government units of Seattle, Wash.; Kyoto, Japan; Madagascar; Bonn, Germany; New Zealand; European Union members of Parliament; a minister from Australia; and senators of Canada. Meanwhile, from Ottawa, Mayor Ortega was also able to attend the Christmas Party for children rendered by 20 Filipino- Canadian residents who are natives of San Fernando City headed by its president, Albert Floresca, whose wife is the niece of La Union Governor Victor F. Ortega.

Plumeria Photos from Hawaii Plumeria is the most common flower that you'll find in Hawaii since it is used in most leis that are given to visitors. It is, however, not native to Hawaii. It is native to tropical and subtropical America. The flowers are found in colors of white, yellow, pink, red, and multiple pastels. In Hawaii one of the best places to view plumeria is at the Koko Crater Botanical Garden - a 60-acre basin inside Koko Crater on the eastern end of the island of Oahu. These plumeria photos are made available by Dr. Kent Bridges, Associate Professor of Botany, at the University of Hawaii. View the photos... Friday January 20, 2006 | permalink You Won't See This Sign at Home! This certainly isn't a sign that you've ever seen near your home or, in fact, anywhere else in the world. As reported in Monday's Maui News, state and federal agencies are posting new warning signs at harbors and boat ramps in Hawaii. They are doing this out of fear that more boating traffic increases the potential for collisions with humpback whales during the winter whale season.

It's a top notch resort with a great staff and is certainly not hurt by its prime location at at the north end of Kaanapali Beach near Pu'u Keka'a, the famous Black Rock where the beach is the widest and the swimming and snorkeling are superb. This location gives Sheraton guests a unique sense of privacy. You never feel that you are nestled into an area with many other condominiums, hotels and resorts.
