We had a mid afternoon snack and tried the Fruit Sandos at Mana Sandwiches in the upper foodcourt on the Lanai in the Ala Moana Mall.
Mana Sandwich also featured a Strawberry "daifuku" which was a fresh mochi stuffed with red bean filling and a fresh and juicy strawberry. The mochi was extremely soft and pillowy and susted with confectioners sugar. The strawberry was o ripe and bursting with sweet juice. This was a winner!
The fruit sandwiches were also very good and inspire us to try making them at home with Japanese milk bread from our local asian grocery. Again, fresh soft brea filled with slightly sweet custard on one side and heay whipped cream on the other, with the ripest, freshest fruit in between! A suprising sweet treat!
We only tried the har gao (shrimp dumpling) from YYK dimsum and it was suprisingly good for a "mall dimsum".
The mall has other asian cusines represented. Too bad we had limited time and were rushing to other meal engagements elsewhere. But we had to try the Sando!
I'm remorseful, I did not come back to load up on musubi from Musubi Cafe to bring as snacks on our flight home.
The grill at the Tempanyaki Farmer is it's own open-air entertainment. I was mesmerized by the knife-work the cooks applied to steaks on the grill and would make a dinner visit there next time I'm in town!
