We’ve only a short time in Hawaii, so the list of things we HAVE to eat is short as well.

Daniel rushing from the water to get to our next meal

Midway through our trip, here is the rundown of things and places we’ve eaten:

Wednesday: Zippy’s Chili

Thursday: Kozo Sushi, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Island Manapua Factory (too bad they ran out of the Peking duck bao)

Friday: Made in Hawaii Festival, Brian’s Kapakahi Grilled Chicken

Saturday:

KCC Farmer’s Market (crowded)

The Mandalay (decent dim sum, good service, free parking)

Costco (milk, $5 a gallon! Aloha Shoyu, $5.59 a gallon!!)

Waiola Shave Ice (da bes’ in Hawai’i, brah!)

Sunday: Royal Kitchen (baked chicken curry manapua, mmm-Mmm!)

Char Hung Sut (steamed manapua ,the classic not-your-normal-char siu bao)

Nam Fong (siu yuk, char siu, and a video of them cutting up a roast duck)

Shokudo Japanese Restaurant (Mochi cheese gratin? Yes! Shoyu ramen? Nah.)

Monday:

Yummy Korean Barbecue (meat jun baby, aw-yeah!)

Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant (yes, I WILL have some more lobster!)

We still have a lot of places and things to eat, including Bubbie’s Ice Cream, Leonard’s Malasadas, a new musubi joint called “Mana Bu’s”, and dinner with other FoodBuzz Featured Publishers at Tokkuri-Tei.

Oh, and more beach time to try to work off all this great food.
