Umami Goes Vegas (2010): Day 2: Aloha Specialties

It was back to Aloha Specialties for breakfast the next day; specifically, the "Aloha Breakfast."  Basically, you're saying "Aloha" (means "good-bye" in this case) to any pretense of a healthy breakfast,  because you're eating three eggs, white rice, a potpourri of breakfast meats and sweet bread toast.

Umami loves this kind of breakfast and would have had no trouble putting it away himself.  However, cooler heads prevailed, and the decision was made to split it two ways.

Sooo, clockwise from the eggs, we have three over easy eggs, a slice of spam, three pieces of Portuguese sausage, a very charred slice of luncheon meat, a pile of white rice, and a thick slice of sweet bread french toast.  For Islanders, the only unusual aspect of this breakfast is the luncheon meat . . . it's been many, many years since Umami's had any and he honestly doesn't really miss it.  But he does miss eating spam and Portuguese sausage and so lingered over each bit of his share, savoring the salty-nitrate-y goodness of it all.  Umami does wonder why there's no bacon on this plate, since it's got just about everything else.  Perhaps it's not "local" enough?  

The eggs we ate by breaking the yolks over the rice and pouring shoyu (yes, more salt) over it, then mushing it up so the yolks mix with the rice.

Umami liked the sweet bread toast, but still is not used to seeing it slices like this.  Still think it should be in round puffy loaves.

It's an unabashedly hearty breakfast and a decent value at $6.50.  Just be sure to drink lots of water afterwards!
