Hawaii (Oahu) Eats - Honolulu, Hawaii


Locations:
  • Ted's Bakery - chocolate haupia cream pie
  • Tiki's Grill and Bar - loco moco
  • Ono Seafood - spicy ahi and tako (octopus) poke
  • Iyasume Musubi - spam musubi, etc
  • Chef's Luau - traditional Hawaiian foods (poi, lomi lomi, roast pig, etc)
  • Giovanni's Shrimp Truck - garlic shrimp with rice
  • Bubbies - mochi ice cream
  • Leonard's Bakery - masaladas
  • Not pictured: mai tais and pina coladas galore; Matsumoto's shaved ice, clear blue waters

Oh Hawaii, how I miss your clear waters, giant turtles, and delectable dishes lacking any greenery. I wish I was back in Oahu still, but I guess these food pictures will have to suffice. If you haven't been to any of the places above, then I definitely recommend Ono Seafood's house specialty tako poke, and Giovanni's garlic shrimp--bring cash so you can get 2 plates of the buttery, garlicky shrimp. If you're staying in the touristy part near Waikiki Beach--like I did, cuz I'm a tourist--then, go off the beaten path to a little alleyway for Iyasume Musubi; you won't be disappointed! You can get delicious spam musubis for an amazing price. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii for all the great seafood, sweets, frozen drinks, and beautiful beaches! Next time though I'll be posting my eating adventures from Maui.

King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant - Torrance, California

Address: 2808 Sepulveda Blvd, Torrance, CA 90505

Items Ordered (sorry about the phone pics):
  • Spam musubi
  • Kimchi fried rice
  • Chicken katsu loco moco
  • Paradise cake

The King's Hawaiian rolls are always delicious at BBQs and holiday parties so I just had to try their restaurant in Torrance. The spam musubi was miniaturized, which made it even better and cuter to eat. The kimchi fried rice was greasy and delicious. As far as the chicken katsu curry: fried stuff + gravy on top just cannot be beat. Unfortunately, the paradise cake was only okay; it tasted like those cakes from Asian bakeries with the bleh icing on top. I also bought some blueberry muffins and cookies to go, and they were SO GOOD!! I wish this bakery was right by my house so I could eat one of those muffins for breakfast every morning.
