Ever been to the North Shore of Oahu? If you live here and you say, "No!" Shame on you!!When you take on that beautiful drive to the North Shore drive towards Turtle Bay Resort. Coming from the West side it's past Haleiwa and TBR and less than 5 minutes you come to a few shrimp trucks and farms. From the East side it's going towards Haleiwa.
My particular favorite is at a free standing outdoor eatery called Romy's. You can't miss it, the place is RED. The farms are located in the back where shrimps and a few types of fish are raised. So you know they're the freshest it can get! And let me tell you, there's a difference in taste!
When we go our favorites to order is the Garlic Prawns and the Fried Shrimp. If I could've I would have wanted my plate to be Fried Prawns....that's not an option though *sad*. The prawns there are large, succulent, and tender! It's like eating a lobster...well, pretty close! The fried shrimps are still a good size and tender as well. These are wrapped in a wonton wrapper and deep fried, then served with a sweet chili sauce. Yes, you could make these at home...but do we really want to? We'd miss out on the pretty drive out!
Others may have their favorite trucks, and I'm sure it's great as well. I think it's the whole experince that goes with the food that makes anything taste better; the drive out, the outdoors, the sauces, and the company. Well, whatever it is, this is a MUST when you venture out and play tourist!!
I think I have to find my way out there soon ;)
*Happy Eating
