4 ONO-LICIOUS | MARCH 18, 2016 Word on the Str(eat)! A la Carte Daylight Mind Coffee Company Kenichi Pacific It was my kid’s 17th birthday and the only thing she had been bugging us about while in Hawaii- sushi. So…what the birthday girl wants, the birthday girls gets (within reason). Noticed this place the first night in Kona and saw their daily Happy Hour sign. I’m always down for some discounted food and drinks. ALWAYS. First up: miso soup. OMG, it’s good. Rare to the day do I rave about miso soup cause it’s usually watery, flavorless, and not memorable…but Kenichi’s is so damn good- so flavorful and not too salty. Our kids ordered two each. It was that good. For starters, we got the Tenderloin Carpaccio and the Firecracker Shrimp. YUM! Then came the rolls- we ordered like 6 or so. Our favorite was the Kenichi Special-snow crab, tuna, cucumber, avocado, and This Easter at Queens’ MarketPlace, Daylight Mind Coffee Company will unveil an Easter Brunch Buffet from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Brimming with choices, the menu features a “Bunny Food” salad bar with all the fixings including local fresh fruit, homemade granola, fresh-baked bread, whipped butter and housemade fig jam. Seafood specialties are also on the Daylight Mind special menu, including Hawaiian-style ahi poke, shrimp cocktail, snow crab, and mahi-mahi. Additionally, you can “build your own Benedict bar” with such items as ham, bacon, kalua pork, spinach, avocado, tomatoes, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce.

The Tempura Shrimp is always a family fave of ours because everyone in the family will eat it: it’s like little kid approved. We also tried the Hawaiian Roll-Yellowtail, Serrano Chili, and Pineapple…not gonna lie, not a fan of mixing pineapple with meals but the b-day girl was feeling adventurous. They also have a pretty good chocolate lava cake…that is, if you have enough room in your belly. They also have a pretty good chocolate lava cake…that is, if you have enough room in your belly.
