It may be called look funn in Hawaii but the correct name is sah hor funn or hor funn - this is also what it’s called on the mainland, too. This style of fat rice noodles originated in Sah Hor city in China, hence the name. You can also order this look funn without the soup topped with the beef brisket (gnau nahm) and veggies or plain as cheung funn to mix with hoisin and hot sauce at Lam’s Kitchen too. In dim sum, cheung funn is used to wrap cha siu, beef, or shrimp. In Chinese, “Chow” means to stir fry; “Look” means to scald/parboil/blanch with liquid. We usually park on Vineyard, next to the Foster Botanical Garden … plenty of free parking along that strip and only a couple of blocks walk to Chinatown. Blessings!
I'm so going there! I've never been there....And to think I always felt like I was the China town foodie guy!....Boy was I wrong, LOL!...Mahalo's you guyz!
I love Look Fun, the Asian store on Maui I worked at flew it in from Chinatown twice a week. We sold lots prepacked, but we made a stir fry Chow Fun out of the Look Fun noodles that was really ono. My favorite type of noodles for Chow Fun. Mahalo and Aloha.
Glenn: you got that right. In Cantonese “chow” is to fry, so chow fun is the fried cheurng (or look) fun. In Cantonese, and most of the Chinese restaurants in Honolulu are Cantonese, fried rice is pronounced “chow fahn” and I can still remember my Japanese mother-in-law getting the wrong take-out order when she ordered “chow fun” but the Chinese cashier heard “chow fahn” or fried rice! Very entertaining video. My wife and I loved the food at Lam’s.
Lam's Kitchen and Hong Kong Noodle is my favorite places for noodles! Also, I reminisce about the pink butcher paper with chow funn from there and Chow Funn Factory! Mahalos for sharing your foodie adventures!
Wow, I never heard of Lam's before. That soup looked really ono with that Chinese beef stew. I used to get a similar dish in SF Chinatown, but with wontons. The Sodastream is worth getting. Those canister refills are available at Target. With all the different kinds of syrups available in Hawaii, your options are way better than mine. Eh, I grew up in Palolo, rain and rainbows just about everyday!
Like the inner foodie line. I love beef chow fun as well and just had that for lunch! Fun means rice noodle in Chinese so chow means stir fry… my childhood also eating the noodle rolls which we call “Chung fun”… can’t wait to see your moving vlog. Best of luck with your unpacking as I saw from IG you guys already moved in!!!
Felix and Amanda, looks so onolicious. As a local Oahu born, never been there. Have to try this place out. Thank you for sharing. Love you guys, you are the best
I tried the beef and tendon noodle soup with wonton on the side and haven't ordered anything else since! Will definitely have to try the chow fun next! You guys make it look so appetizing!
@@AmandaFelixEats Sure thing! Also, if you take your used canisters to BB&B in Pearl City you can get a discount on a new one. We do that and it saves us money. Not sure if other stores do it too, but worth the discount. :-)
Aloha you two ! So good to see you guys sharing onolicious foods ! Enjoy your new home ! God bless you both ! I love homemade noodles...talk about authentic ..the real deal !Felix you got me laughing ...yummy goodness refreshing drinks ! Mahalo !
Thanks A&F. We had dinner at 100 Sails last night and had Papa Ole’s for lunch today. We tried the Kalbi, Garlic Chicken and PB bread. The Kalbi & PB bread are worth going back for. Quite flavorful. Thanks for your vlogs and recommendations.
Everything looked so delicious 😋. Beef chow fun just makes me almost 🤤 drool. Wish we had a place close by to get that kind of food. Great video ❤️🐾🌟Hug Baby Lucy ❤️
I’m surrounded with these kind of Chinese food here in LA, but this place Won Ton and Beef Chow Fun look really good. The “straw poking” segment was adorably funny.🤣. Thanks Amanda&Felix😘😘
Fresh noodles ! Chow fun looked amazing! Dumplings looked good! Ok, it all looked good! I wish the area had a dedicated , safe , monitored parking area that is not $$. Asking too much? Lol. Love the bloopers and looking forward to the new chapter of your lives! Congratulations on your new home! Take care and keep up the great videos!!
The noodles are definitely worth the trip! Street parking near there is fairly safe cuz it’s near the police station but definitely better to be on the safe side☺️ mahalo for the congratulatory wishes💞
We are seniors and go to Chinatown several times a week and never had any incidence. We park on Vineyard - plenty of free parking along the Foster Botanical Garden. It’s a few short walking blocks to the heart of Chinatown from there.
Looking good guys! Love the soups Where ever we go… we will definitely hit these places when we go back… We are new to this… beyond a “like” how do we show our support for your efforts? Mike and Marnie
Aloha Mike and Marnie, you guys are awesome for wanting to support more, here are the links to our PayPal: www.paypal.me/AmandaAndFelixEats and Venmo: www.venmo.com/Felixvog there’s no obligation, mahalo for your support💞🤙🏻
Now I like eat some noodles lol… when you folks eat with chopsticks it makes the food look more onolicious… Amanda your chopsticks skills is awesome… Throw some rain to the westside… have a happy aloha Friday and a great weekend… thanks for the video waited all day for it lol… mahalo 🤙🤙
INSANE, we go to Lams as our go to for Chow fun. Like Amanda, Grandma and us always go to Chinatown, never leave without buying charsui look funn, fish, choke food, then eat around the corner on Maunakea. You guys was right next to Asatos, gotta go (Wed. or Sunday), MMMmmmmm. Enjoy your foodie walks.
@@AmandaFelixEats YUPPS Amanda, miss the old places in ChinaTown, most times I see how good a place now by how good their Beef Chow Fun is. Keep up the awsum work.
Amanda, woman after my heart! I’m a noodle person too! My mom used to say that I was a noodle baby because she ate a lot of noodles when she was carrying me. On another note is Kohala Market by Foodland different from a regular Foodland? The food looked pretty good there. Felix looks like he’s in 7th heaven eating his noodles!
Did you guys do a video of all of the killah okazuya spots like gulick delicatessen, kabuki’s, toshis, masa and Joyce, fukuyas, sekiyas, St. Louis delicatessen??
Love this video! My wife and I love the dry-fried chow foon or as one of your viewers called "guen chow ngau hwa. " I would be tempted to take the won ton dumplings and add them to the beef soup! Felix, your drink reminds me of the Green River drink I used to have as a kid--a fountain drink of lemon-lime syrup with soda water. I heard that they now make the lemon-lime syrup in Hawaii. I want to get some when I visit there again. Bye for now!
The parking problem is real in China Town. Some of the meters didn't want to cooperate. They do have some characters out in the day time. So be careful and just keep it moving. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I have been to Oahu 8 times and my daughter and I went to China town once but we seen some characters and other stuff and got scared. And jumped right back kon the bus and went back to Waikiki
IDK if the meter parking applies for Hawaii. But TV show Parking Wars, when your meter time is up. You have to move your car. Cannot keep feeding the meter.
We usually park on Vineyard, along the strip that fronts Foster Botanical Garden. Plenty of free parking (no meters) along that strip (practically empty on normal weekends) and it’s only a couple of short blocks walk to Chinatown.
You both should try Cowcows teas at Kaimuki. My favorite drink at Cowcows Tea are Passionfruit Rice yogurt, mixed fruit teas, and Azuki beans rice yogurt. You guys should definitely try it!!!!
I have a hard time picturing a clean kitchen. I used to like eating at KABUKI at Waimalu, until I went to work there for 1 day. I quit after seeing the kitchen and what goes on in the kitchen. The floor was oily and I was like skating on ice. Never ate there since 1986.
Yum! Rice noodles! What "fun!" ; ) And ono refreshing teas! Can get Soda Stream at Target. Looked at Ala Moana Target website and can exchange or recycle the CO2 cartridges. Worth a call to your local Target. In SF/Bay Area can exchange cartridge at Target Guest Services and get new ones at a discounted price. Not sure if that holds true for Hawai'i too or if you'd have to mail back like recycling toner cartridges.
soup rice noodles is tong fun, look fun just means steam rice noodles. chow fun is stir fried rice noodles and cheung fun refers to noodle rolls. but I think they use the terms differently in Hawaii, so I noticed. just call the chili oil...lat yau.
Hey guys. "Fun" is the rice noodles. "Chow" means stir fried so "Chow Fun" means stir fried rice noodles. "Cheung" I believe is rolled so "Cheung Fun" is rolled rice noodles.
There is also the term “sup chow” or wet fried, too. The dry noodles are not fried but topped with something saucy, like the beef brisket and veggies without the soup. Cheung is another term for intestines so rolled up, the funn does resemble an intestine 。。。
Quite different from our HK- Canadian Chinese. Especially wonton on the side with veg. Of course you could ask for it like that but no one features it. They have spicy chili wontons similar concept tho. "Look fun" term has to be from HI. Never heard the term b4 and I'm CBC .Always called " hor fun ( noodles only)" or rice rolls "Cheung fun". Fried rice noodle that you ate" Gon chow ngao hor". Literal translation is dry fried beef rice noodle. Noodles in soup and fried are identical except width of cut in this case. Fried looks wider. Chinese establishments are open to early am in Canada. Post clubbing chow downs happen there a lot. We are HK North. So many Chinese restos - several hundreds in Vancouver and burbs.
@@AmandaFelixEats The food you ate looks legit and delicious. Everything Asian I ate in HI over the years was really good even if different. Your money will go really far here! 🤑😋
Generally speaking, CHOW fun refers to rice noodles that are fried. LOOK fun is a Hawaii-only term referring to rice noodles in general. If you go to China, they have no idea what look fun is.
The look fun with bits of char siu and onions blended right into the rice flour batter was called “gee cheurng fun” and not “gee look fun”. The “gee” referring to the pork imbedded in the look fun.
Look funn aka Sah Hor funn or Hor funn on the mainland originated from its namesake Sah Hor city in China. Look means to scald/parboil/blanch in liquid (not fried) so “look funn” is usually served “wet” in soup or topped with whatever you desire.
Only if Felix didn't crash. You guys can go anywhere Electric Scooters can go. Jump on that Horse again Felix, no need worry about Parking in China Town.
Aloha Amanda & Felix! What a great video, I absolutely love chow fun noodles!! Both drinks you had looked very refreshing.
