if you're just visiting my website, and don't know what "Eat The Street" is.... i'm here to explain. Eat The Street is a monthly event here in Hawaii. it features different food trucks from around the island. they all gather in one location. it is so popular now, it has turned into a twice a month event (happening usually on the second saturday and last friday of each month). see my other posts (click here!) from ETS! below is what i had at the most recent ETS in May.... :D i've been to ETS about 3 or 4 times now, and this truck is usually there.... but for some reason, we always pass it by. UNTIL NOW! we finally decided to check it out. why? b/c of the "Gyrami" sandwich..... i like gyros. i like pastrami. so why not try whatever this was, right? it is pastrami meat, gyro meats, tzatziki sauce, mustard and a pickle all in a warm pita bread. this, while weird sounding.... was actually really good! try one if you ever get the chance! i also hear that their Italian beef sandwiches and hot dogs are good here. maybe i'll try at the next ETS! here is "Five-O Ribs". a newish company featuring smoked ribs and meats. i read up on them a little bit.... apparently the owner wanted a change from his current job, and decided that cooking ribs would be a part of that change. currently, i don't think they have any standard locations for their truck, so i think the only place you can find them right now, is at the ETS events..... here is the ribs plate. i personally liked the ribs. they had that smokey, sweet flavor. one friend who tried it did not like the sweetness, and another friend said "i've had better", but then failed to follow up on where the better ribs were from..... either way, i thought the ribs here were good. try it, and judge for yourself! Next stop - Camille's on Wheels. i've had some of the other dishes here before, and they were good. we had to stop here to check out what they had this time..... this is the beef and cheese empanada from Camille's. it was..... ok. not amazing. perhaps we should have gotten the fish tacos? oh well, there is always next time! here is "Hawaii's Fried Musubi". the line was CRAZY LONG. thats supposed to mean they're good right?........... see that? that is their 3 fried chicken wings and 1/2 of a fried spam musubi. what to know what it cost? $8. EIGHT DOLLARS FOR THAT. O_O while the chicken wings were really delicious, the fried spam musubi was kinda junk. Da Kitchen has a better fried spam musubi, AND at Da Kitchen they give you a whole one. not a half of one. this was their spicy ahi musubi with chicken wings.... my friend who had this was not impressed. by the way.... this one was $9 for a HALF of a musubi, a small portion of ahi, and 3 chicken wings. in short, Hawaii's Fried Musubi was a RIP-OFF and entirely not worth the wait in line. we ended the night with Ono Pops again. this time, i tried the azuki bean pop (on the left), and the Tamarind pop (on the right). i didn't like the mealy texture of the azuki bean, but my friends liked it. my tamarind was sweet, salty and tangy. another interesting treat :)
