Thank you for posting new content. I referenced your videos a lot when planning my last trip to Oahu. You have great wit and humor and the video editing is superb 😊 I hope we can see more of you and your SO in new videos.
Kalihi is one of the hotspots for local Hawaiian faves. It’s slightly ghetto but they got some of the best food on the island. Personally been a longtime patron of palace saimin who have been in business for like 75 years. I’ve been going there since I was a kid in the 90s and my dad was a cop in the area and there’s quite a few other restaurants that have been in business for just as long. That’s why I always try to support local businesses so they don’t dissappear
Cheers from the Pacific Northwest. I just returned from Oahu last weekend and watched your channel for traveling tips. Wish I could've shared a beer with you. Cheers, mate.
I’ve seen the episode of Man V Food with Adam Richman at Helena’s and Craig the owner was showing him how they cook the food - Yum. It’s on my to do list when I get there next year 2023.. I’ve seen great reviews of the Highway Inn with similar authentic Hawaiian food. How do you rate the Highway Inn , assuming you have been there. Many thanks , Mahalo 🤙
Butterfish is a name that is overused in fish names, though you did show the right picture of the “butterfish” aka, pacific pompano, I think Helena’s is serving the invasive Roi fish, aka Peacock Grouper. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
As a proud foodie, holy shit I’m ready for helenas when we go in April, any tips on nice hotels in Oahu that are intimate and fun yet not too expensive?
I don’t mean to be disagreeable but I respectfully disagree with you Helena‘s is a nice version of what you might think Hawaiian food is. But go to Haili’s traditional Hawaiian food, you will find the Hawaiian food there is made proper. Poke a Hawaiian dish is made properly. Na’au pua, Kalua pig made in the additional style, other dishes at Haili’s I made the traditional ingredients. Do you wanna eat traditional Hawaiian food that’s where you go. Galena’s is a wonderful restaurant. And this Filipino family has done very well for themselves. But if you go to a restaurant that is ran by Hawaiians you will see that the food is made very differently. The ingredients that I used are very different it is very traditional. I am Hawaiian and I know the difference between fusion foods and traditional Hawaiian food
I know this video is old, but I’m hoping to appeal to your common sense and remake another one. The poor bowl is not authentic wine food. I would love for you to visit a restaurant called Haili’s Hawaiian food that is located on Kapahulu Ave. they serve up traditional Hawaiian food dishes that you won’t see it possible because it doesn’t attract the western pallet. Dishes like na’au pua, of traditional Hawaiian poke. He’e luau, and other traditional Hawaiian food dishes. I understand you’re from Hawaii but you don’t seem to know what is Hawaiian traditional dishes. Ake? Na’au Pua? Ina Mona? Limu kohu? I will continue to watch your videos on Japanese culture but please don’t try to re-identify Hawaiian culture while making your videos. You should come back to Hawaii and remake what is traditional Hawaiian food As a Hawaiian na kanaka Maoli o’hawaii You have insulted me with your ignorance on Hawaiin food
