UVA Japan Club - Curry Night: September 18th at the University of Virginia, Shea House (Evening)

Taste of Georgetown 2009

Taste of the Nation 2010

Welcome Nicole! My husband's family is also from Hawai'i, and we just visited last month...Since then we've been searching for a good recipe for the Okinawan Sweet Potato and Haupia Pie like the one we had from the Saint-Germain bakery inside Shirokiya @ Ala Moana. I think I just put on 5 pounds daydreaming about that dessert! Let me know if you've found a comparable recipe (or maybe not! )

Is this a pie that is made with sweet potato AND haupia??

I have NEVER heard of that. Apparently it *is* pretty popular.

Not sure, but I googled and found these:

this book was also mentioned: What the Big Island Likes to Eat

I think its kinda hard to find the purple sweet potatos here. I've seen them at the Grand Mart in Centreville twice though.

Hi everyone-

I'm a 23 year old native of the DC area and have never been apart of an online restaurant community, and don't have a blog. I joined Don Rockwell because the people here seem to have a similar passion for restaurants that I do.

I go out to eat atleast twice a week. The best restaurant experiences I've had were at 2941 (when Chef Krinn was there) and most recently Volt in Frederick MD.

After a dozen calls to Minibar, I finally got a reservation for this Saturday. I'm excited because the Cafe Atlantico meal I had there was amazing.

Oh and I'm also a pizza addict that doesn't think anything in DC compares to NYC pizza, but Potenza is the best I've had here.

And I'm your fellow adventurer!

Hi, My name is Nicole.

I live in Northern Virginia and currently write for a blog DiscoJing.com. On this blog I document the restaurants I try in the area and recipes that I attempt to cook. I also showcase my (almost) daily attempts at bento (Japanese boxed lunch).

My family is from Hawai'i and I've lived all over the East coast and in Japan for a bit.

I look forward to learning from all of you and sharing any information that might be of use.
