| - I was bored yesterday in the hospital (yep, still in the hospital... I've lost count on how many days I've been in MountainView...) so I started to browse Yelp... I clicked on "Recently Opened New Businesses" and up popped Touch of Aloha Local Kine Grindz (yup, it's a mouthful).
Browsed through the pics... ho bruh, I didn't realize how much I've missed "hawaiian" food... manapuas, pork hash, chow fun... and mochiko chicken!!!! and look, they make mochiko musubis!
Ok, I'm in, where is this place? Clicked on the map and it doesn't look "too far" from where I live... ok, I'm going to tell the boyfriend to pick up some food for me.
I called in my order and the bf went to pick it up. I ordered a bento box with no hot dog and they were kind enough to sub it for more mochiko chicken, 2 mochiko musubi and a 1/4 lb of spicy ahi poke.
I didn't care too much for the poke, good thing I only got a little bit. The pepper flakes kind of did me in, it was too spicy for my taste buds. The bento box is HUGE! It looked like it could feed 3 people! The pork hash was like a huge meatball. The meat was a little mushy for me but I couldn't stop eating it. The chow fun was on point. The mochiko chicken was GOOOOOODDDDD and surprisedly so was the teri beef. I don't usually like teri beef but Touch of Aloha did a good job with the seasoning and keeping the beef tender.
My nurse came into my room as I was eating and she immediately wanted to know where I got my food from!
This is definitely a place that I will go back to, for sure!
Aloha!
