Chinatown Lunch

A L O H A !




Let's wander through my beloved Honolulu Chinatown!




" We need to haunt
the house of history
and listen anew
to the ancestors' 
wisdom. "

Maya Angelou










"  On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me. "


UP ON THE ROOF
                                  by Gerry Goffin &
                                                             Carole King







How about some Chinese / Malaysian /  Singaporean?



"One who waits
 for roast duck to fly into mouth
must wait a very long time."

Chinese Proverb








1. Shrimp Won Ton Char Siu Noodle $4 / All Noodle In Soup




"One cannot refuse to eat
just because
 there is a chance of choking."



Chinese Proverb






Looks Even Better in Person!







"Some prefer carrot
while others like cabbage."


Chinese Proverb









What a Good Girl Am I!




" A Smile will gain you
ten more years
of life. "

Chinese Proverb









Ah! The Day Looks Brighter Now :)




" The greatest wealth 
is to live content with little,
 for there is never want 
where the mind is satisfied. "


Lucretius

    Yum! I like how that restaurant is named for the character in Hawaii Five-O - or perhaps it's the other way around???

    I always like the buildings in Chinatowns and sometimes also the food. Strange to see all these American flags.

    I love the roast duck quote and the accompanying photo. It's 1:38 a.m. here & suddenly I am craving eqq rolls and mu shu. Where do you find all these wonderful quote? But more interesting, how much time do you spend looking for them and tying them all together. Fun, isn't it.
    One of my favorite places in Manhattan is Chinatown. Our TCM doctor is there, our veggie stands. And the food . . . .
