Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night. Another fun thing about the MagicBand+ is that it'll blink and flash in all sorts of colors depending on where you are, whether at certain rides or shows.  You can also use to link PhotoPass photos and other experiences. It's totally not a necessary thing to have, but it's a nice-to-have for the convenience.   One thing I did read prior to getting them is that they have a tende...

Visit Maui: Haven's Harborside Fish & Chophouse

I was so excited to visit the recently-opened Haven's Harborside Fish & Chophouse, helmed by the talented Chef Zach Sato.  

Hanapaʻa Daily Raw Bar

The Hanapaʻa Daily Raw Bar is a daily selection of fresh seafood offerings presented in a tackelbox - how clever is that!

On the night we went, there were prawn cocktails, oyster shooters, and poke (my co-worker said it was some of the best poke he ever had - so flavorful!).  

Chef Zach, although not present that night, generously had this dish, along with the Oysters Rockefeller, brought out to us.  
Oysters Rockefeller

Cast Iron Focaccia

The Cast Iron Focaccia was amazing.  It was like a hybrid focaccia / milk bread that had such an amazing texture - soft and fluffy with a crispy outer crust, and with a little bit of heat from chili pepper salt.  It was so good - I legit ate majority of the pan myself! 
Maui Ohana Wagyu Croquettes

The Croquettes were served with a tomato jam and castelvetrano olives.
Lapa`au Farm Grilled Broccolini

The Broccolini was served with a 25 year balsamic. 
Risotto
The Risotto had Hamakua mushrooms, parmesan reggiano, and a truffle emulsion. It was an umami-packed dish!
Diver Scallops

The Diver Scallops was another fave - topped with an XO sauce and sitting in a miso brown butter hollandaise.  It was perfectly cooked! 

Kokoleka Ice Cream Cake

I was beyond stuffed, but I had to try the Kokoleka Ice Cream Cake.  Ice cream was sandwiched between chocolate cake layers, and accompanied by caramel.  It was indulgent!

Being harborisde, the restaurant has access to the freshest fish, so if you love seafood, this is a must visit!

And if you don't love seafood, you'll find other foods like fried chicken, steak, salads, and more.  

Congrats to Chef Zach and the team!
