I had a pretty good day today. I spent the morning at an external meeting which was really interesting.

I also ate well today. For breakfast I had a salmon rissole with an avocado and some sweet chili sauce on a plain bagel. For lunch I had a Queensland nut ganache from Urban Bean Espresso Bar. For dinner I had some baked salmon with sweet potato hot chips and baked sweet corn.

Blueberry whipped cream Queensland nut waffle

My last breakfast in Hawaii was a Blueberry whipped cream Queensland nut waffle at Eggs ‘n Things in Waikiki.

This was a very good waffle. The cream while it looked bulky was basically full of air and very light and fluffy. I’m assuming no calories. I also poured maple syrup and coconut syrup all over the waffle.

There are so many tourists and very few locals here.

After breakfast the bags got packed and Honolulu International Airport (HNL) was reached. 

The flight back to Australia was QF4 HNL to SYD. I was treated really well on the flight. The attendants ensured I had the menu selections I wanted and it was about the best international flight I’ve ever flown.

Prior to departing I bought a copy of Muriel Miura’s Spam cookbook. Not only does it contain amazing recipes but also some great facts about spam.

This melon flavoured ice bar was really good.

Dinner was dolphin fish (not the sea mammal). My first time. It was wonderful.

Breakfast before the bus ride back to Canberra was yoghurt and muesli. 

I’m still craving a Queensland nut waffle.
