Ever wanted to know what a distribution center looks like? Well, not much LOL. A bunch of boxes and stuff. An area to take orders with a lot of stuff! You go in, tell them what you want, pay and get out. Hey, it's a distribution center, not a store to walk around and check things out. You save about a dollar going here vs. buying in the wild! Worth checking out if you are around the Waipio Costco area. read more

Aloha Edibles - a sign for a restaurant - Specialty Food Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

On December 17th, I asked my hubby if we could stop by Aloha Edibles so I can restock on the doggie treats. This time, I purchased 2 bags each of the chicken gizzards, beef hearts, and beef liver for my three dogs. The last time I purchased dog treats, my little indoor dog Sadie managed to climb on a chair and onto the dining table, open the plain "unmarked" brown bag of dog treats (as if she could read), chew into a ziploc bag containing the remainder of an open bag of chicken gizzards! My hubby said that I have to make sure that all of the chairs are pushed against the dining table so Sadie cannot use them to climb onto the dining table. I responded that he should train HIS dog (have you ever say that? YOUR child, or YOUR grandchild?) to not go onto the table. Sadie hasn't done that before! Now, Sadie is on two legs, begging, whenever anyone approaches THE NEW brown paper bag. read more

SKITTLE BOMBS!!! And for your information, these are NOT the "edibles" some inquire. Edibles, the non-naughty kind of edible. Edible, without a high - only a sugar high. Get the point. I have quite a lot of local/native friends on the island. While I was recovering from my motorcycle accident my friend sent a care package of my favorite island candies AND a bag of Skittle Bombs. Wow! I tried to savor the bag for as long as I could but it didn't last long. Imagine an exploded looking skittle that's crunchy like corn nuts but tasted exactly like a skittle. Must I be laid up in the trauma unit hooked to tubes to get more care packages with skittle bombs?! I will now request this or seek this when I am on the island to bring back to the mainland. read more

The factory was hard to find. I don't drive to the west side of the island so this area was unfamiliar. The factory is at the corner of Uke'e St. and Moaniani St. near Kaiser Permanente. When you drive along Moaniani St. keep an eye out for the glass windows with the "334" numbers. You can park in the driveway if there's space or there's street parking. The door to go in is between the sink and the electric meters; you'll see an open sign. There's another door afterward that takes you into the office. The snacks are all on a small rack and if you don't see something, you can ask them for it. My favorite item is the beef jerky crisp. If you've never had any of their snacks before, I recommend getting 2 of everything. The furikake kettle chips are also popular. The snacks are pricey but it's all made and packed locally. They accept credit cards for payment. read more

See all

Just tried their skittle bombs! Creative and fun concept -that's why I gave them 5 stars. I bought them for $7 from Carousel Candyland at Kahala mall. (Cheaper than Amazon.) There were two options, li hing and plain. The skittles are frozen with liquid nitrogen, and that makes them CRUNCHY! I wouldn't buy these regularly to snack on, but I had fun trying them with my sister and nieces. Definitely pick some up if you're in the area! read more

Aloha Edibles - Furikake kettle chips. So good! - Specialty Food Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Over the weekend I attended the craft fair at NBC. OH MY GOODNESS.... The Cafeteria Shortbread Cookies blew me away. It reminded me of when i was in Elementary school eating this cookie. It was so buttery and oh so good. I should of bought more because one bag is almost gone. My parents bought to give away and now they are saying they didn't buy enough. We are hoping that at the other locations you will have the cookies as well. read more

For those craving a different snack, I highly recommend their Lotus root chips. (Yup, you can eat Lotus flower roots also known as "hasu" among the Japanese.) It has a slightly nutty, crunchy flavor with a hint of salt. Great to eat as a standalone snack or have with beer. Their beef jerky is quite good as well. It is dried flakes that grow in flavor the longer you chew it. I was sorry to hear Kaimuki Grill closed up but glad to hear these folks continue to sell their snacks. In addition to their store, one can find them at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market on Wednesdays and Sundays. Check it out! read more

I really like to eat this beef jerky that's different from the ones on the outside, like crisps.

The jerky crisp are DANGEROUS!!! I can eat three bags (probably more) in one day. I couldn't put it down and literally hid the bags from the rest of my family. It is so addicting!!!!! They don't sell it in the stores...yet. But I just found out we can go directly to their factory to purchase their products. Wish they sold the jerky crisp in extra large bags!!! read more

Their furikake potato chips and Chex mix are so GOOD! They do not skimp on the furikake like other brands. Please try their cookies too, they just melt in your mouth! read more

Bought a bag of Spicy Furikake Potato Chips from Foodland Pearl City. I've never seen these before but they were next to the Fresh Poke area (good area!).. so while waiting in line I picked up a back of these and selected the "Spicy". Although these are quite different, the chip itself is great, nice & crispy. The chips seem to be slight oily and the furikake flavor was OK. As much as I love furikake I think these could maybe use a different furikake seasoning. The "spicy" was not spicy (for me at least).. so I was hoping for a lot more 'kick' to it. (maybe kick it up a few more notches?!) Will try it again and see if my review changes. A little on the higher end cost but for something Made in Hawaii I would definitely try to support. read more

Oh broke da mouth! I live in California and very blessed my sister lives in Oahu. I told her about these delicious snacks and she hooked up her favorite little sister with a care package. Needless to say, I ate everything and I am out. Only downside is I can't seem to order online. read more
