After lunch, we arrived to our condo in Kahana.
We have a very cute ocean-front 1-bed room unit with the great view!
This is our beach at our condo. Just gorgeous.
The view from our room is amazing and our place is so cozy. We both felt we just want to stay here and not go anywhere (except for the wedding) throughout this trip! I was also excited about cooking with all the local ingredients. Although it's small, the kitchen is nicely updated and equipped with all the basic stuff. And, I brought a lot of pantry items from home. So, we decided to just cancel all the dinner reservations for the next nights and enjoy the best out of this place. (Besides, I'm not very keen on the restaurant scene in Maui in general...nothing has really updated in the past 15 years.)
So, for our first night, we picked up some ingredients from local stores and fixed simple dinner. I made Ahi Poke with wakame and Maui onion, miso soup, pan-fried opa fish (I marinated in sake, soy sauce, mirin, and yuzu rind), and brown rice. The only thing was that the knife in the kitchen was so dull that I had such hard time slicing the ingredients (that's why the scallion on the fish look so sloppy!). So, I was going to pick up a new nice the following day.
Having the private dinner in our lanai overlooking the ocean was simply so delicious and special.
