Mr. Eggroll

Tonight, I didn't feel like cooking...and if you read my blog regularly, do you think that I ever eat at home? ha, ha, ha! But seriously, I wanted something good and inexpensive, and something close by...so where did I go? I stopped by Mr. Eggroll. It's located at the Ward Warehouse, which is about 5 minutes from home. This small strip mall, does quite a bit of business on the weekends and parking can sometimes be very hard to come by, so tonight I park a little further away and walk. This shop is located in what could be considered the "food court" on the ewa (West) end of the mall.

This is one of the local take-away shops, where the food is served in styrofoam containers. I decide on the two choice combination plate (US$4.99) with mochiko chicken and choi sum in oyster sauce. It's served with fried rice, steamed rice or noodles (I took a combination of fried rice and noodles) and one crispy gau gee.

The mochiko chicken is chicken which has been coated in mochiko (sweet mochi rice) flour and then deep fried. It is crunchy and golden brown, with a slightly sweet taste. The choi sum is actually part of another dish, but after coming here for so long, I've convinced the owners to just give me the vegetable! The crispy gau gee is pretty standard fare here in Hawaii. I would have to say that it is just like a fried won ton, but in a rectangular, pillow-like shape. I also have an added treat...mushrooms!

If you're hungry and want some good Chinese food at a reasonable price, visit Mr. Eggroll. You won't be disappointed!

I agree..US4.99 for 6 items and such huge portions is very reasonable.

Hi Min,

Thanks for the compliment. I really like this place as the owners are very friendly. I think they've been in this location for about 4 years already and have not raised the prices or reduced the quantity of food given.

It's so nice to hear not everyone is into profit-making:)
