Visit Catalina Island: Lloyd's of Avalon

Of course we stopped to get some ice cream while on Catalina Island.  We ended up at Lloyd's of Avalon , where one of the employees told us they source the ice cream from various vendors (so it's not housemade). Cookie Monster Mocha Almond Fudge Bubble Gum Honey Churro I had the Honey Churro, which was a little too sweet for my liking. Everyone else loved the ice cream flavors they chose, however. The ice cream definitely helped to beat the Catalina Island heat! Lloyd's of Avalon 315 Crescent Ave Avalon, CA 90704

Visit Hilo: Van Vietnamese Cuisine

I've passed by Van Vietnamese Cuisine many times and finally decided to try it after seeing how some people mentioned in an FB group that they have great Bahn Mis.


Spring Rolls
I was always under the impression that Spring Rolls were fried and Summer Rolls were not, but the Spring Rolls on the menu were unfried.  I did like the accompanying peanut sauce.

Van Special
The Van Special included pate, pork ham, mayo, cucumber, pickled carrots, and daikon.  My friend thought it lacked flavor, but the loved the bread. 
Pho Eye Round

My friend said the pho was good, but lacked dimension compared to other spots' pho.  He did appreciate the amount of garnishes, however. 
Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi

I wasn't expecting the chicken to be shredded, but the sandwich was tasty, and I too loved the bread.
