Man, was it hot this weekend or what? And even worse was the humidity!
It actually hit 96 in Bay Park! Crazy…..
So, I've been mainly surviving on cold tofu and salads! But of course this weather was perfect for some Poke. So, after hitting up the Little Italy Mercado, then Nijiya, I drove up to the Market at HFS to pick up some poke. I got there 15 minutes before opening and was the sixth person in line! I'm thinking that a lot of folks had the same idea.
I got the Shoyu Ahi and the Kimchi Ahi, also a Medium Bowl with brown rice, fish in a separate container. I'd be packing the Missus Her lunch and dropping it off at work for Her……and She has some specific requirements for the bowl.
All the Ahi products are now $25.99 a pound.
Anyway, here's what I got.
The quality of the ahi wasn't quite as good as what I'd had on previous visits; with more "sugi" (connective tissue) than usual.
For some reason, I enjoyed the kimchi ahi…perhaps it was the spice and savory components, which was pretty good. It was quite refreshing served ice cold.
The Missus enjoyed Her "yoso-Eats" lunch delivery.
I'm guessing we'll be hitting up HFS a lot more during this heatwave.

I'm so happy that Zgara Greek Grill reopened just over 2 years ago (as did the Market at HFS). It's fairly close by and a convenient stop. Eric looked happy and said business was good.
And I was happy, because my Pork Gyro was as good as ever.
It really hit the spot. Love the crisp edges on the hand made pork gyros.

While I was waiting for my pork gyro I got the weirdest craving….so I walked over to Andres Latin Market……
And bought me an Inca Cola…….I mean really, I don't drink soda these days, and I'll have Inca Cola when we're in Peru. Not sure why I "just needed it" on this day!
But along with the pork gyro; that "bubble-gummy" sweetness really hit the spot.
Can you say "aaaahhhhhh"?

I hope everyone manages to keep cool and comfortable during this heatwave!
