Okinawa Hollywood

This past weekend we decided to head north to try out a new restaurant I had found in one of our island guide books. It was a steak/lobster house called the Malibu House and it was also a little movie poster museum as well. The ad said that it held over 1,300 historic movie posters or something like that. We found it without any problems (whew), but we weren't expecting it too be that difficult since it is right next to Okinawa's Renaissance Resort Hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is really nice and they even have a little mini Hollywood sign on the side of a small hill. Not quite California, but it's a nice attempt at capturing the American culture :)

The restaurant was a fun place to go... neat atmosphere, an ocean view and pretty good food, although not the greatest lobster ever. Seafood is prepared differently here than in the states and just has a different flavor that will take awhile to get used to. Maybe it's because they don't saturate it with butter and seasoning, so we're tasting the actual fish, haha. Fun place to try though and Schan really liked all of the movie posters since he's a big collector of them. Also, right next door is a little ocean side bar that looked like fun, as well as a place called Al's Yum Yum Tree. Haha! Not really sure what Al is selling at his "tree", but I'm guessing it's a bar/club sort of thing.
