Loco Moco, Potato Salad, & Malasada

This was my post-meal after ziplining and my classic meal I eat every time I'm in Hawaii (except the malasada-- wasn't fond of the filling). This was also the only time I ate outside of Waikoloa since everything is so spread out. But here are other foods I enjoyed during my trip that was walking distance from my resort.

Probably should've nosh'd these instead of blasting it all on here.. It looks so much better that way too. Next time. Oh.. and I will never say no to these! Nikki + chocolates = a match made in heaven :)

Whipped up a home cooked meal since it feels like forever since I've had that. Been living off of restaurant food which isn't bad, but there's something therapeutic about preparing your own food. I can never tire from my tomato, basil & garlic pasta and nothing beats a perfect Monday late night dinner like this. Eating out has become quite excessive for me so it's nice to enjoy everything I made from scratch. Although I did dine at some really cool places the past week like Umami Burger, Terzo, Bisou Bistro and Skool. You can check my nosh for more of my food adventures!

Treasure Island Music Festival is one of my favorite festivals to attend in the Bay. Not only are the views of the city breathtaking, it's really small compared to Outsidelands and one cool thing I learned was that there are never any repeat artists, no overlapping set times, only 2 stages-- and all of this makes it a lot easier to maneuver through unlike Coachella where things are a lot more complicated. Everyone I came out to see, I've already seen at Coachella this year (Chromeo, Cut Copy and Empire of the Sun) but as always, I enjoy a lot of the side things going on when no one is performing- vendor booths, carnival rides, food trucks. But my highlight had to be the Silent Disco- haha this was actually really funny. When you enter this cove it is so quiet.. almost reminiscent of entering a haunted winchester mystery house. At first glance it basically looks like a bunch of people dancing to nothing-- really funny to watch. But once you place these wireless headphones playing music in your ears and participate, everyone grooving actually begins to make sense.
