Poki Time

Tea Time has been thinking about trying all the poke joints in San Francisco, but poke is becoming so popular that this may not be possible.  However, we heard good things about Poki Time, so we headed over to the Lombard Street location.

You really can't miss the place. (yes, it's the old KFC)

Poke is the only option, but there are several choices to be made along the way. You can see the menu on the website, in case you have trouble deciding on the spot.

You build your own bowl, however big/small you prefer. Choose a base, protein, toppings, sauce and then you're ready. Fast, healthy food at it's finest. All the ingredients we got to pick from were fresh and tasty.

 You know Tea Time can't resist a good dessert and this Poki Time features a  macaron ice cream sandwiches right next to the main counter in a cute cooler. Made in San Jose, they were a delight. Check out Mavens Creamery if you need a fix!

Poki Time has a open seating plan and when you enter you can either loiter in the back staring at the menu or hop in the line (there wasn't one when we arrived, phew) and get your meal pronto. It's a homey restaurant and the workers were very nice, helping us get our ice cream dessert after we were done with our bowls (so the sandwich wouldn't melt). Tea Time is sure they would have let us eat dessert first, but this time we decided to honor traditions by saving it until the end. We had a great time and a great meal, so we'll be back.

Day 9 Molokai

Saturday is a busy day on Molokai. There is the big market in town, and families spend time together.

Dawn and I made it to Kalupapa today. I have no phone pictures since I forgot last night to turn it off. (It also ate my original post from yesterday, so there is an abbreviated version published instead. Version 2.0) Later I will publish a post with the info and photos from my camera.

Breakfast was per normal. Yogurt, fruit, granola all made the list. Lunch was a picnic of fried chicken (from Molokai Burger) and mac salad, plus some leftover veggies from our cookout.

The wedding next to our tent is in full swing (featuring musicians of questionable talent) so we plan to check out a local favorite who will be at Paddler's Inn tonight. The show (and food) has been good so far tonight. For dinner we had the grilled fish platter (good) and poke(great). Dawn had the mango blended margarita and I chose passion fruit. Both are well worth $8. Later we shared a Lava Flow which was much tastier than the $16 Lava Flow from the Ritz Carlton last weekend. The show was great. We liked it a lot and might have stayed until the end, excepting we were up before dawn to get ready for the visit to Kalupapa. That hike is over 6 miles straight down then back up. So we left with fingers crossed that the wedding had ended. Happily most of the cars had gone, but it appears they are cleaning up tonight. The recorded music is too loud for us to rest, so we'll give them until 11pm and then ask them to turn it down.
