Paina Cafe is one of the places that I would have never found myself dining at or going to. Now, this brave girl gave raw fish a chance and Paina Cafe...here I come. This cafe is known for their poke bowls. For those of you who don't know what poke means, poke is defined as a raw salad appetizer in the Hawaii. Then poke bowls would stand for raw salad in a bowl. :)
In this delectable picture above, a bowlful of rice carried the very generous portion of ginger shoyu salmon poke sprinkled with taegu and furikake. What is taegu? Taegu is seasoned dried codfish. It is very yummy. Trust me, this Asian-style seasoned fish is an addition you would want on your poke, salad, or rice. My lunch was filling and satisfying. Who would have known is this tiny plastic bowl is a hearty lunch. One of my favorite part of my lunch was the furikake. Paina Cafe was not stingy with their furikake. I love it.
