    Palisades Drive Inn!! I'm glad you tried the Garlic Ahi. Its my go to place on days I dont want to cook and truly a hidden gem. The steaks are good and reasonably priced. Aunty Kalei's shave ice is also excellent. They're soooo friendly. Go before school gets out!

      Many ice cake were lost doing the pop and flip back in my day. Then you had to run to the water fountain and rinse all the grass off without losing to much of it. If you were lucky you still had at least half, but when you do get the perfect flip it’s the best thing ever.

    Ice cakes! Used to cost 5-10cents but was in smaller cups. Flavor, always red. Turned it upside down or flipped it in cup so it would sit high and eat it that way… plus all the syrup would b concentrated at the bottom so if u flup it… sooo good!!! My ukulele teacher would make some for her students for after class snacks!!! ❤❤ We called it Pacific Palisades and my high school bf used to live at the top. I used to jog there all the time beautiful! I have to stop by mext time. That shave ice place is new to me! Mahalo!❤👍🏿😀

    The food you both ate on the video looked so onolicious that my husband and I went to Palisades Drive Inn for dinner tonight. I ordered the garlic ahi - mochiko chicken combo w/rice and Mac salad and the hubby got garlic shrimp with fried noodles. Both were very onolicious!!! If I wasn't watching you guys last night, I wouldn't have noticed this hidden gem. Thank you!😃

    They used to have cake noodles as an option and their mushroom chicken was really good too. Chicken Katsura is like a two people meal lol. The Chinese chicken salad is awesome too! That location was supposed to be a fire station but that didn’t happen….so I think it ended up a fast stop and over time evolved to diff businesses.

    Talk story: Back in the late 50s, early 60s, we didn't have much money. So, grandma would take tin cans she'd saved up and clean, cool aid, and make us them. We all wanted popsicles, but she'd scold us that we hadn't saved up any sticks. Back then 2 cents and some sugar would make a good baker's dozen of them.
