Fairwood Drive Inn
Been to a potluck lunch or dinner lately? Chances are good that you've had the honey-garlic chicken from Fairwood. This is the restaurant's top seller and it's delicious! Fairwood is in a fairly non-descript building not too far from the Ala Moana Shopping Center.
I've been coming to Fairwood for quite some time now and this place is known for it's large portions and reasonable prices. Tonight, since I was dining alone, I decide to have the honey-garlic chicken with fried rice (US$5.75).
Look at the size of the portion! The chicken is just simply delicious! Pieces of chicken are dipped in batter, then deep-fried until they are golden brown. Next the honey-garlic sauce is added. Then the dish is topped with some sesame seeds! The pieces of chicken are crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside...and the sauce, just sweet enough, but not overly sweet! Ahhhh....this has got to be one of my favorites. The char siu fried rice that comes with the dish is great! It's neither too oily or too salty...in fact, it's a perfect match for the sweetness of the chicken!
Fairwood Drive Inn specializes in Chinese take-out food and local style plate lunches. Next time you're in the neighborhood, try Fairwood, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
