Our first meal in Oahu was at Lulu's - Waikiki. It's located adjacent to our hotel, Park Shore.
Now you must admit that view is incredible. The restaurant has indoor/outdoor seating and when the host learned we had just arrived, he cleared off a table so we could relax and take in the reality of actually being in Hawaii.
Here's a view from ground level.
The menu cover certainly gives an island vibe, doesn't it?
We began our meal with Mai-Tais. These were delicious!
Now those of you who followed us around Ireland, know that Sweet Harold made it a goal to try as many fish and chip meals as possible. I'm afraid he's going to do the same thing here!
Here's his Hawaiian Fish and Chips! The fish was tender and flaky and well seasoned, but the batter wasn't as crunchy as he would have liked.
I knew I was going to start trying the local favorites immediately and I certainly did! Lulu's version of Moco Loco caught my eye immediately.
If you're unfamiliar with this dish, the original version will have white rice as the base, topped with a beef patty, then that covered in brown gravy and grilled onions, then THAT topped with sunny side up eggs. Lulu's dish add Kaluha pork! Trust me....this was the PERFECT first meal in Hawaii.
The pork was fork tender, the gravy tasted like someone's grandmother had made it, the wagyu beef was so flavorful, and the eggs? Cooked to perfection. This was an amazing dish.
Service was good, atmosphere was 5-star, and the food was excellent.
We couldn't have chosen a better spot for our first meal in Oahu!
