ROTM - Island Flavor - Hawaiian BBQ
Island Flavor
8090 S Durango DrLas Vegas, NV 89113http://www.islandflavorlv.com/
There are plenty of Hawaiian restaurants in Vegas. And this one, Island Flavor is slowly gaining it's reputation among us. They are known for their reasonable prices, friendly service, excellent food, and great atmosphere. All their dishes come with rice and macaroni salad. One box will definitely feed 2 people with their generous portions. The flavor is very good and it's always fresh.

Great place for custom gourmet burgers! You can pick from the toppings, buns, meat, sauces...etc. To their awesome homemade onion rings and sweet potato fries. You can even add Lobster Tails, Foie Gras or Truffles to your burger if you wanted. It could get pretty pricy.... But it's definitely a treat for burger fans. The place is a sports-bar atmosphere with TVs in every booth, it's not very big so be prepare to wait a little bit if you come during the dinner hour.

Salmon Rice & Grilled Chicken Breast
We tried this recipe from Alton Brown a couple months back. The Salmon Turnovers turned out great, but I really like the rice/stuffing on its own also. So I decided to just use the rice for dinner.
Salmon Turnovers
Recipe courtesy Alton BrownPrep Time:15 min
Cook Time:30 min
Level:Intermediate
Serves:4 servings
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastryFlour, for dusting
1 can boneless, skinless, salmon
1/2 cup Sauteed mushrooms

1 tablespoon parsley leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.Lightly flour the countertop. Roll puff pastry so there are no seams. Cut into 4 squares.
In a bowl, combine salmon, mushrooms, pickle relish, rice, scallions, parsley, salt, and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Brush inside edges of puff pastry with egg wash and fold over to make a triangle. Using a fork, seal the edges. Poke a slit or two in the top of each turnover. Brush tops with egg wash.

It's getting hot here in Vegas, today was 90 degrees already!
I'm definitely not ready for summer yet.
What I enjoy mostly about the winter, it's a Chinese tradition, called Hot Pot.
Other Asian cultures have hot-pot like dishes, like Japan's Shabu Shabu, Korean's Casseroles, or similar to Swiss Fondue. To me, the difference mostly is the broth. The broth is filled with herbs like star anise, peppercorns, dried dates, red chili peppers, etc.
Hot Pot is staple for winter and because it's usually meant to be shared it brings the whole family together. But unfortunately, most Hot Pot restaurants (often all-you-can eat) in Vegas are not very sanitary as the raw ingredients were laid out on ice buffet-style. So I stopped going out for Hot Pot, until I stumbled cross this little Chinese restaurant inside the Gold Coast, called Noodle Exchange.
If you are not familiar with the casino, it's home to one of the best dim-sum restaurants in Vegas, called Ping Pang Pong (they also have really delicious traditional dishes offered). So it was not a surprise they will open another Chinese restaurant in here that offers great Chinese food.
Going on to the food, they offer Lamb, Beef and Seafood dishes for the hot pot. I believe they are $15.95 each. And it comes out in a personal pot and your own plate of thinly slice meat with assorted vegetables and glass noodles.
What you do is, cook your plate of food according to your own pace and liking. Afterwards you can drink the broth to taste all the meat and vegetable flavors, it's really tasty. Definitely warms up your stomach in a cold winter night.
Give it a try next winter!
