This chicken. It's very good.
Their fault that their drinks were expensive and terrible.
Good morning. We're going to church. We're getting gas and then we'll see what else we'll do. Just finish. Finished church. Time to get gas. Running really low, but I think we'll make it. We'll see. We're back. Got some more hydration packs. Pro tip. Get hydration packs. Gonna change. Eat some breakfast and then head out again. It is hot out here and we're going to Waikiki beach to go hang out in this scorching sun and find a rock. And find a rock.
The rock is on Oahu somewhere.
So I will find her. We'll see. And I'll show you the secret parking spot that might be open that you can park at if you're trying to go to Waikiki Beach. Cuz parking is terrible. Let's. Sam. So we're on Beach Walk Road right now. I have had some luck parking in a certain parking garage. So we'll see if they have any openings right now. They also do have some street parking, but that's usually filled up and there's only a couple. So you might get lucky and be able to park there. But I'll show you where you can park. Maybe it's right here. This like little parking. It's super tiny, so you gotta watch out. You'll have to download this app. Download it before you get here because service is really crappy underneath here. And you can also call, but they're gonna charge you five bucks extra to do it. And it's an hour, a dollar an hour, three hour maximum. But we'll see if we can wrap around and come back in. I'll let you know. Keep a tight fit. So if you have a big car, keep that in mind. Sam. It's okay. So we got the egg rolls, the chicken katsu curry, some soup for her, for her noodle, chicken teriyaki. They don't put any chicken teri.
There might be some glaze or something. And then we got two vegetable balls, a potato crockett and a Japanese omelet.
So we'll see how it goes. So that veggie stuff, just like onions. The potato one was really good and the egg one wasn't bad.
It's just egg.
Yeah, it was good. Let's try this egg roll looking thing. Oh, I like. I like this sauce.
This little tangy sauce y tangy vegetable.
So egg roll thing just, just like an omelette except in egg roll form. But it's not bad so far. The potato is our favorite.
One potato cocket. Tastes like a thick and really like mashed potato. Y kind of potato latke. Who knows.
Or a hash brown. McDonald's hash brown. Beer taste beer this chick. It's crispy and delicious. How's yours? Very good.
It's kind of like melty. And the glaze that's on the chicken teriyaki is super sweet.
The broth is pretty tasty. We gotta break the egg. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Who. So broth is good. Not too bad. Chan said this might be her favorite meal of the trip. I don't know. Mine is still side street in or side street side street in that call bb. But are these noodles now you know. The chicken was delicious. Udon noodle place was delicious. Highly recommendation. Yeah.
Go hungry because you're gonna be really full.
Yep. And we still have leftovers. We have a lot of leftovers.
Yeah.
So gonna have to eat that later. That dude almost ate it walking.
The berry ginger oolong tea is really refreshing. Especially after being at the beach all day.
Delicious. Delicious. Got the itis. Going to go to a bar, have a drink, chill out and then probably head back.
Yeah. So nice.
Let's go.
All right.
Sam. The Luis elevator rent Sky Bar Subpar drinks. Felt like they were throwing everything under the kitchen sink. Poured into the cocktails. Ordered an old fashioned. Got charged two extra dollars. Foreign Old Fashioned. Which had less ingredients than their specialty drinks. Man, you're paying for the views. So all in all, go once. But I'd rather go to bar another 10 times over. I'd go to Sky Bar once for the views, take the pictures, do the things. Hashtag. Do it for the Instagram. But that's about it. Bar Leather over Sky Waikiki hand over fist.
You are in the center of a tourist location. So it's expected.
It's expected. But do it once. Get one drink Old Fashioned. None of the drinks were above anything else. Pro tips. Go on, take the pictures. Go to Bar Leather instead. Headed home now.
Peace.
We went to the car, but our our taste buds were still hurting.
Tainted with disappointment.
With disappointment. That's exactly right. From Sky Waikiki. So we're hitting up.
I think we should add it's not our servers, our service waitresses. They're all very nice. It's none of their fault that their drinks were expensive and terrible. So they were all very nice.
Hitting up Roy's.
It's nobody's fault.
Get that disappointment taste out of our mouth. Get something more palatable. Better in there. And end the note on a high note.
The taint of capitalism.
The taint that tainted.
Get rid of it.
Let's head abroad. Very unfortunate situation. Roy's.
They just shoot us away.
Fully bugged.
So they say.
So they say they want us to keep the taint of.
It's getting a little more bitter by the minute.
Waikiki in our mouth. But we will prevail. Don't you worry. We will get something down our gustles.
Yeah.
To quench our thirst. Stay tuned. Side note, we only updated our parking for another hour, so we need to get a drink, replenish our thirst, get that taint taste out of our mouth and make it home. Well, make it to the car on within the hour. Easy. Let's go. People of YouTube, we are 0 for 3 right now. We tried to go to Tommy Bahama, you know Tommy Bahama, and they said, nah, we don't want you here. Just kidding. They said they were fully booked for the night. So my homeboy Greg works at Tommy Bahama. He said, hey, check out Arnold's. They got your back. So we'll see if they actually do. Keep you posted. We made it back. Arnold's. Very good. Reasonably priced drinks. Five dollar well drinks, which is what we had. And it was a lot cheaper than Sky Waikiki. Got that disappointment taste out of our mouth and ended the night on a high note. And we met some cool people. I don't remember. Steve and Melissa shout out to y' all pretty cool people. And yep, that's it. Have a good one like and subscribe till next time. Bye.
