Romy&#8217;s is much more crowded and if you try it, you will know why.  my recommendation is the #1 plate.  instead of shrimp, substitute it for prawns.  suck the head and eat the tail in the spicy shoyu sauce.  then you can thank me later&#8230;. haha&#8230;   enjoy!!!<br \/>\n<font color=\"red\">**and last, i&#8217;ve been getting a lot of international calls recently on my cel. phone.  just to let you know, when ever somebody calls me from an international number, it says &#8220;CALL&#8221; on my phone so i don&#8217;t know who the heck it is.  the number doesn&#8217;t come out.  if you don&#8217;t leave a message, i&#8217;ll never return your call because i wouldn&#8217;t know who to call back.  i got 5 missed calls yesterday and nobody left messages.  well, i guess it wasn&#8217;t important&#8230;.<\/font><br \/>\n**and last last, want to congratulate my nephew isaiah moniz for making his first heat at the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.isaworldjuniors.com\/newzealand10\/Home.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ISA WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/a>.  round 2 today LIVE!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>good morning. 6:30 am on this windy thursday morning. small and windy in town. small and windy on the north shore. junky conditions everywhere. a good day to windsurf, a good day to watch a movie, or a good day to work. i&#8217;ll probably go for a quick surf, watch a movie, and work. next [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2858","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-go-naminori"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2858\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
