Salmon, Ong choy, and Tropical Fruit

We had a pretty active weekend with a lot of sunshine and delicious food. Saturday morning we drove out to Ko Olina on the west coast of Oahu for some snorkeling in the sun (the rest of the island was pretty rainy) and worked up a good appetite for lunch in Chinatown. After we each had big portions of noodles, we wandered the markets of Chinatown and ending up buying a lot of colorful tropical fruit. The noodles kept us pretty full for the rest of the day, so dinner was light, healthy, and delicious: salmon cooked with ginger and soy sauce, and sauteed ong choy. Plus we indulged in some of our pretty fruit after dinner - we tried the bright red rambutans and the little longans. Both were so refreshing and tasty, but the longans were especially addictive - once you started peeling and popping them into your mouth, it was hard to stop until all of the longans in front of us were eaten up. Yum yum!
