We met our friends, Calvin and Kay and Calvin "Cal" and Myra at Tai chi a couple of years ago. We thought it was rather humorous that there are two Calvins and two Kays. Cal suggested our going to a new seafood restaurant called Cajun King in Waimalu Shopping Center (on the island of Oahu). He and Myra had gone there for their anniversary and enjoyed the experience.
It was rather pricey, but since we asked for separate checks, I felt free to splurge a little. It's true that Art was surprised to see me order the $25 Alaskan King crab legs and a $12 plate of green beans but I figured it wasn't something I did often and wanted to try ordering what appealed to me.
Unfortunately I ordered the butter and garlic crab legs. It was a large serving that arrived in a big plastic bag full of butter and garlic. I've never experienced that before. It was extremely messy and somewhat difficult to eat when you're wearing plastic gloves, even with all the different crab cutting instruments they give you to use. Still... it was tasty and I needed the green beans to balance out the richness of the buttery crab. I really loved those crispy green beans.
Art's Cajun lobster and shrimp with fried rice looked good. However, he said his lobster had very little lobster meat. I had a couple of his shrimps and it was very good.
The best part of the meal was being with such lovely friends. It was great fun chatting, and we even made a tentative decision to take a trip together in summer of 2015. It will take quite a bit of planning. We haven't even decided whether to go to the west or east coast, but we would like to see Canada again so that's a possibility. It's fun to think about.
