Since it was New Year’s Day, most of the places were closed. We woke up at about 9AM and went to breakfast. The IHOP had a twenty minute wait and having to wait outside in the heat. We found a buffet place instead near it and the cost was only $7 per person. The service was poor but the food was decent.
We walked towards the convention center and stopped by the Hard Rock Cafe to browse and see what I could add to my collection. We stopped by an ABC store to get some souvenirs and witnessed a car that braked a bit too late and swerved onto the curb. The guy was very luck that he did not cause a wreck but his tires are shot. We waited until our other room was ready and we packed up for a quick switcheroo. They promptly brought us a roll away bed so that we all had our own bed.
We took the city bus to Waipahu Outlet mall and it took about 90 minutes. We went by several stores but nothing really caught my eye. We stopped by polo, Armani Exchange, Barney’s, blue Hawaii, banana republic, and some others. I bought a tee shirt from AX. We took the bus back to the hotel and go off near the Hilton.
We decided to stop by the beach as it was getting late but by the time that we got there, it was pretty dark out. We went to the Wailana Cafe and they had a line waiting. Their business was very bustling and we could see why after experiencing the dining there. We had dinner at a cafe that had big portions. Most of the entrees came with a choice of fruit cup, soup or the unlimited salad bar. We all three went for the salad bar.
While the choices were not abundant, the selection was pretty good. My mom got the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and my brother & I each got the meatloaf special. For $11, we got the salad bar, choice of starch (mashed potato, baked potato, white rice, steamed rice, or fries), bread, green beans, 2 pieces of meatloaf, drink, and dessert. My mom got the salad bar option with chicken teriyaki, green beans, and fried rice. We partook of the salad bar twice. They had salad greens, pineapples, jello, alfalfa, coleslaw, Kim chi and 4 selections of dressings. Nothing fancy or out of the ordinary but it did do its job. Our waiter was humorous and made funny remarks like "you'll get full of the salad bar." He was very diligent in refilling our drinks and making sure that we got our food fast. We were full half way through the entree and had to force ourselves to down the dessert. Our waiter was very good so we made sure to tip him for the great attentive service amongst a crazy diner. I went by the salad bar twice. The first was salad with French dressing and the second trip with ranch.
We had a lot of food and the waiter was humorous/efficient. I had to help my brother finish his meatloaf. The sundae was a really good end to the meal. We went by the ABC store to get soy milk for breakfast and on the way out, some kids ran out after shoplifting. We went back and got ready for sleep. The rest of the night was uneventful and we retired early for our next day of exploring Hawaii.
