Im not sure if it was the Japanese Book review that i did earlier but for some reason i was wanting Japanese food for dinner. Anyways i called up one of my friends who lives by UH Manoa and we decided to go to Sunrise Restaurant. My friend had been there before and she said it was a family owned business. She wasn't kidding either cause right when we walked it, it looked like someones's living room. But the beauty of it right? It felt like we were somewhere other than Hawaii. Somewhere in Okinawa, a small village outside of the big city. We shared and ordered Ox Tail, Mixed Sushi platter and Yakisoba.

After leaving Sunrise we both weren't quite full yet so we headed over to Leonard's Bakery. Now if you ever visit Hawaii (Oahu, Waikiki area) there are two places in which you much try. One is Rainbow Drive-in where they serve some great Hawaiian food, and the other is Leonards bakery where you order the award winning Malasadas. What is a Malasada?
A malasada (or malassada, from Portuguese "mal-assada" = "light-roasted") is a Portuguese confection, made of egg-sized balls of yeast dough that are deep-fried in oil and coated with granulated sugar. Ridiculously delicious and they're filled with custard. We got three; original custard, flavor of the month and one Li Hing flavored.
All in all it was a good night. My friend did fall hard off her bike at one point on our way to Sunrise but luckily nothing severe.
