Going to the International Marketplace near to downtown was the most exciting trip of the week. I wish it was closer to me so I could shop there more often. I LOVED the low prices on their produce. I also came across many hard to find items from all over the world, lots of seafood, and housewares too.

Maybe the best bite of the week was the Pastrami Sando from GastroPub Nisei Bar & Grill. It just BANGED with flavors! (locally made pastrami, yuzu slaw, and hot honey mustard)

Also our Hot Pots from the Chubby Cattle (Hot Pot) were very good expect for the flounder there but everything else was very good.
