Dining in Okinawa

Okay, guys, I really wanted to have some food porn for this post, but I figured we were already drawing enough attention to ourselves when we walked into a restaurant without taking pictures of everything. So, you will just have to use your imaginations!

Highlights of our Okinawan dining included:
- Squid ink curry at Nepal Spice Kitchen, with absolutely divine, buttery naan (although the curry was pretty stingy with only 2 shrimps swimming in the delicious blackness)
- The most AMAZING, juicy, tender shrimp surrounded in a nest of stringy fried something or other, dressed with a rice vinaigrette at some random restaurant in some tiny village in the northern part of the island
- Bagna cauda (anchovy and olive oil dip) with lots of delicious grilled vegetables (some of the first I had been able to snag all week) at Transit Cafe

Low points included:
- Lunch at Subway, lunch at Macaroni Grille (not of our own volition!)
- Way too many granola and protein bars
- Way too many rice crackers (okay, these were actually really yummy, but not really a substitute for a meal...)

Sadly, we didn't make it to a Japanese supermarket while we were there, and couldn't find delicious, fluffy Japanese bread anywhere.

Next stop, Honolulu, and lots of pictures, I promise!
