Mahalo Summer! Happy to hear you had a wonderful trip to Maui. Keep watching as you plan your next trip!

Hey Jordan and Erica! My husband and I made a beeline from OGG to the Costco Food Trucks when we arrived! I had a “mini” Loco Moco from Sparky’s and it was the perfect amount with the rice and mac salad. My husband had smoked pork from Poa Pukehu truck! We’ve been watching all of your videos and are so happy to FINALLY be here to enjoy Maui. Also spent a week on Kauai…what an adventure and extremely beautiful!! Now we’re off to go snorkeling! Mahalo Anna Noe from Ohio

We are excited about moving to Kihei this year and diving into all the food you talk about! Henry is getting big really quick. Get video ❤️

delicious post! Btw, lau-lau is usually steamed not thrown in the imu albeit an imu does cook mainly by steaming. It is wrapped in ti leaves primitive tin foil. The meat is wrapped in taro leaves but than over that, the ti leaves wrap up everything. 6:47

If I hear the word "malasadas" it makes me want to get on a plane to Oahu!

Lucky boy with his spam musubi! I like your vibe, I’ll be your newest Subscriber!

Just found your channel and love & ❤️ it. Been to the Hawaii a lot of times but now we go to Maui mostly. We have just started to go to the up country and it is a great place to explore especially when Lahaina gets really hot. Looking forward to seeing all the places we missed and future fun things to do. Awesome videos. Rich in Mission Viejo,CA

Can’t wait for lilikoi and grape shave ice with a snow cap. My favorite in 9 days :) I often go to Ululani’s on Front Street but recently have been getting it at the Fairway Shops in Kaanapali

Our 1st day on Oahu we had a shrimp lunch plate and a chicken lunch plate from a food truck at the stadium swap meet. Our last night on Oahu we had a shrimp 🦐 plate and a cubed ribeye 🥩 plate. The best two meals we had come from a good truck on our first and last day on Oahu. Now I need to go back for some poi

Very interesting...

Poke, apple bananas and Mac nut pie for dessert!🇨🇦🤙 37 more sleeps!!

3 P's are important: Poke, Poi and POG juice! Loco moco comes in a close second. I love the chicken/poke lunch combo at Foodland. It is usually $7.99 lunch special. Love it! Ohhhhh musubi. Dangit, that sounds good too! That starts with a P too...it's just silent and invisible. 🙂

I love the three P's! We don't pitch companies often but we tried to get Meadow Gold, the makers of POG to sponsor us, as we love POG and more visitors should experience it. They haven't answered our emails but we still have it in our fridge everyday.

Great channel! Thank you! Do you recommend taking a cooking class? Maybe on Maui?

We think that is a great idea. We haven't looked for one on Maui but Oahu has a great one near Diamond Head at a chef's house: thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaiian-style-cooking-class-oahu/

We like Waikiki Brew pub which is toward the mountains and Tropical Tribe for acai bowls.

"BBQ mixed plate at any L&L Hawaiian BBQ restaurant, or on O'ahu, drive north of Diamondhead, toward the Blowhole and eat the best Shrimp scampi in the world at Geovani's "The Shrimp Truck," on the north shore. Aloha.😊

loco Moco was started in Hilo in a restaurant across the fire station it started with just rice and gravy a fried egg was later added. a friend ordered a “Loco Moco” at Cafe 100. The waitress did not know what it was so Glenn told her how it was made and the Loco Moco was reborn! Glenn’s father was a “wrecker” a barefoot football team who home turf was the Lincoln Park and were regulars at that restuarant.

Kaluha pig I’m not sure how to spell it. Pineapple of course! Super yummy. Cannot wait to go to Maui in May for my graduation trip. Also we are doing the Maui no car challenge 😂. My parents did it last summer and it worked really well. Hopefully it’s still a good idea lol.

we aren't very familiar with them, to be honest. We prefer spending more time on the islands than on a ship. Plus, a non cruise vacation is a better way to support local businesses.

Don’t forget malasadas that the Portuguese brought over!!!

I have to start by saying this, I do not like cocoanut, pineapple, nor coffee. That said I totally love everything you have listed here. I can’t even touch what they call poke over here on the mainland. My friends start spouting of bout some poke they had and I just can’t do it. The shave ice is perfect for after a long training run or bike ride. This will be the first year I can’t get over there in a very long time so I look forward to your videos. I have to commend you on the quality and information presented. Mahalo!

Ok, frozen poke should not be an option! It’s just proof that the fish isn’t fresh. Why isn’t it fresh? Is it because it’s from some other country? Did it need to be gassed to make its’ appearance more palatable? Stay away, don’t be fooled.
