Birthday dinner

The surprise restaurant for my birthday dinner was the original Roy’s in Hawaii Kai. It’s known for the best seafood in town and absolutely lived up to our expectations. I oftentimes find that fancy restaurants with big reputations have super buttery food that, of course, tastes good. But butter for dinner isn’t particularly impressive or healthful. Roy’s was different. I ordered a sampler of fish – pomfret with a green sauce, butterfish with a macadamia nut topping, and blackened ahi tuna – and each tasted uniquely fresh and wonderful. I also had a wedge of sticky rice to soak up the sauces. I can’t wait to eat the leftovers for lunch!
