DU3 Hawai'i People and Friends- Check-In!Last edited Mon Dec 12, 2011, 01:48 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
This discussion thread is pinned. I'm back in SoCal now for awhile, but I've lived in Kaimuki and Palolo (Oahu for those that don't leave the Outer Islands) - All are welcome including "Visitors" to the Islands!
Let's see, we've got: 
Lau Lau - can't forget that now. 
Chicken Katsu - I like mine from Gracies or otherwise drenched in curry 
Beef Curry 
A Zippy's Chili Hot Dog Bento 
And some Leonard's Malasadas - Who's Malasadas? Leonards Malasadas What'd everyone else bring?

2. Those shrimp trucks are mean.

I always stop at Romy's when doing the North Shore Circle. Haleiwa restaurants are so-so, but the Kahuku shrimp trucks are amazing.

4. Rainbow's does some mean plates...
|
I used to get dinner there like one-night a week. Mahi Mahi or Fried Chicken plate. They've expanded the seating area onto the neighboring property. That's Obama's favorite too.
Aloha Poi Boy from Maui!
Grab a Heineken or Primo from the ice chest if you like. I really like Maui Brewings offerings over Kona's. The Hawa'ii Nui Brewing Company is mean too.

5. Not being a local, I haven't shown up with any local goodies...
|
Oh, wait. Yes I have! I just found the KFC menu for Hawaii and located something we don't have here, so it must be local...
'Homestyle biscuits' as sides? |

Last edited Mon Dec 12, 2011, 02:59 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1) They have KFC in Australia...you poor deprived people; most people in the States take their fried chicken much more seriously than KFC, which seems to be in decline
The local-style fried chicken is much better! The Zippy Chili and Fried Chicken combo is ono!

7. Those biscuits as a side aren't...

We have coleslaw, potato and gravy, chips, and buns.
Heh, I don't go to KFC. We've got a local lot called Kingsley's and their fried chicken is really yummy  |

One time when I was at Hongwanji, a cute little 3rd grade girl tells me - "But Mr. Zachary, I don't speak English, I speak pidgin"
