This is Reid Shimabukuro joking around with our mayor. He won last year's grand prize. I wish I had half his talent.

It's fried tofu in an oh-so-delicious sauce.
She also picked up this ice cream bar, in keeping with our continued search for ono Korean ice cream.
I didn't actually taste this one, but coworkers described it as a gummy bear-Japanese candy-Asian yogurt drink-flavored popsicle.
and this Pork Belly with Mochi ($4.99). I don't really care for the pork belly. It's really fatty, but I think that's what makes the sauce so ono. I usually kinda just nibble on a small bit of the meat and mostly eat the mochi. Luckily my son doesn't care for the mochi but loves the pork belly. The flavor is out of this world.
I also got this Seafood Pancake ($5.00). Best described in The Tasty Island food blog,"It’s a medley of seafood items such as imitation crab, fish and shrimp with large stocks of green onion, carried in a slightly flavored flour and egg 'pancake' batter." The best thing to me about this dish is the sauce. I made the mistake once of grabbing one that was missing the sauce and it just wasn't the same without it.
And then, of course, I had to grab a few ice cream bars to try out. This one has two chestnuts on the wrapper,
so I guess the stuff in the middle is supposed to be chestnuts, but it didn't taste like it. It was okay.
This one is called "Wild Body", maybe 'cause it looks wild.
This was the best of the three.
So much for the ice cream taste test, but now I gotta explain to my husband why I got all these ice cream bars in the freezer with one bite taken out of 'um. Maybe he won't notice.
