I asked my grandson whether he had ever had Thai food which tends to be spicy. He said he was OK with that, so we went to the Thai Thai Restaurant. This restaurant was in a building with a TruValue, a laundromat, an art/gift store and an ATM. We parked down at the TruValue end.

Favorite Dish: I ordered cranberry juice to drink and it came with a blossom in it. I wasn't sure whether to eat it or not. I also got Yellow Curry which is one of the milder ones and has potato in it. It came with rice. My grandson got a very big bowl of beef noodle soup. We each tried the other one's food. He didn't make very big inroads into the soup as he was having trouble with the noodles - they were slippery.

I wanted to order coconut ice cream which I knew he wouldn't want so I suggested that he try coffee ice cream and he said he liked that.

The last four photos are of the menu.

There aren't a whole lot of places to choose from up in Volcano. Check out the Volcano House for its dinner menu and Sunday buffet. I've heard it's great. you can also go to the cafeteria at the Kilauea Military Camp for a quick meal. There are a few small places to eat in Volcano, but not many.
The Volcano House is an old lodge that is built right on the rim of the Kilauea Crater. On clear days, you have a fantastic view of the crater, including the Halemaumau pit.

It was almost time for lunch, so we left the park and went into the town of Volcano. No McDonalds here.

I stopped at a general store/cafe place and decided to look in the store side first and get something for breakfast the next morning. My grandson picked out a package of cold cereal (which he eats without milk), and got a coke, and I got a muffin. Then I saw that they had hot dogs and also hamburgers, so he got a hamburger and I got a hot dog which we ate on the way back to the park.
