Oohhh these guys…read more.. I just love how they bougie up our beloved mochi the classic treat that's not too sweet but does give you the freedom to enjoy it plain, stuffed or dusted with various coatings. Da Mochi Guys does that and more as I found them at Makana Mkt in Ka Makana Ali'i Sunday market from 11a-3p it's just so hard to resist peeking in to see the load they have made for the day with one table with the classic mochi stuffed with Oreo, cookie butter, brownie and kulolo while another table had the butter mochi OMG! Biscoff, Biko and OG that was it for me as I got the OG but noticed a jar of Dubai spread a jar that was a great way to turn any treat to Dubai yumminess which is so smart. The staff there was a trooper in the torrential rain pouring down as it got pretty intense at times but happy to support these great local small biz and share a bit of that happy vibe along the way. Thank you!

Drinks, snacks, hot foods AND ICE-CREAM?! Chee-hoo!…read more Located on the bottom floor of Kapolei Hale you'll find the snack shop. Having worked in Honolulu Hale/near FMB in town, I love the Kapolei Hale snack shop! The staff are so nice and the assortment of snacks is winnaz, especially when your girl doesn't feel like eating cup-a-noodle! Things in the snack shop: - Obviously soda/water/juices -Hot foods (meat loaf, pasta, omelet) -Cup-a-noodles - ICE-CREAM (Melona bars, drumsticks, ice cream sandwiches) Like I mention, the staff are always super nice. The food is also really good too. Not to mention their food is such dealz! My meatloaf plate came with a drink and under $10! It's hard to find a filling meal these days without spending an arm and a leg. If you're in the building for an appointment, consider supporting the small shop. #supportlocal

Oh my goodness this was my first time trying fried mochi and I'm lowkey mad at myself for not…read moregetting two boxes because it was SO good. I tried the poi flavor and when I tell you I ate it way too fast... It was gone too quickly and into my tummy. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness. Such a perfect little treat. They were set up outside Walmart with a tent when I stopped by, which made it such a random but fun find during my errand run. And they take card payments too! It was $2 extra to add the icing, but 100% worth it. No regrets. Honestly, the best $13 I've spent on food in a while. If you ever see a fried mochi stand pop up... don't think twice. Just get it. Maybe two boxes

I have been obsessed with Poi Mochi from this place for over 2 decades. Whenever I come back home…read moreI'm all over this place. I get a whole box for myself and get a box to share. A bit of a background story: 15 year old self: "Dad, we need cleaning stuff so we can do our chores." Dad: "Okay, why didn't you say anything when we were at Longs." 15 year old self: "slipped my mind" Heading out of Walmart. 15 year old self: "Dad, can we please get some poi mochi? Please....Please....Please.... Plleeeaasssseee!!!" My dad looks at me and I could see it. The wheels turning and it clicked that I have been planning my all of sudden must need now to align when Uncle Lani mochi would be there. What should I do to not hear a mouthful? 1. Should I run? 2. Should I say, "no, worries I'll pay." 3. Should I apologize? Somehow I managed to do all three and I still got a mouthful outside of Walmart. I got lectured all the way home. I didn't hear the end of it and had to do my siblings chores. Was it worth it? Yes, I got away with it 3 times...lol. Back when I was a teenager they had a pop up spot in Waipio Walmart. Kamakana Location: Awesome Sauce! - free parking - area to sit - they offer different toppings - workers in the store show the love * usually a winner to bring to a potluck The saddest thing is flying from the mainland going straight to Uncle Lani and your met with the sign "sold out." You know what's even sadder? You try again and boom "sold out!!!!!!" 3rd try I checked their Instagram page and went during opening hour and got my sweet tooth satisfied. I can't get enough of this place!

I spotted from the corner of my left eye a stall at the very end with a customer leaning to her left. I saw the word rice and what looked like bagged rice. Before I proceeded I took a double take and pushed the cart toward them. Hey hubs, Musubis!!! Such delight to find something to fill my almost starting to growl tummy since it was past 9 am. Ooh yay!!! I chose a broke day mout'unagi musubi with edamame and hijiki mixed in plus a piece of unagi- it looked fabulous to me. I didnt think it would fill me so I also grabbed a karikari ume omusibi cuz it looked pretty with pink bits and an ume on the top. Hubs chose a kombu musubi and ate it as soon as we got home.

My favorites are the tuna and cream cheese one with fish egg. They range from $2.50 and up depending on which onigiri you get. It comes with the seaweed but don't forget to grab it by the register. The size of each onigiri is pretty filling and I would say 2 of these would get me disgustingly full, especially with a drink. I hope they can upkeep the quality of the rice, assembly of the overall onigiri and cleanliness of the preparation. I'm excited to try the different onigiris available.

One tater wand was $12.50, $13.02 with sales tax. It's about on par with a tornado potato from a K-food truck in Waikiki, so it's not super out of line, but I do wish the prices were listed ahead of time so you would know how much it was. The tater wand was hot and fresh and the toppings were the right amount, I felt. I enjoyed it but would be a 5-star if prices were more transparent.

They sold these bad boys in a pack of 12 (no other option - not sure if it's just for the event) and it comes with dipping sauce. Not sure what's in the sauce, pretty sure it's shoyu and possibly sriracha or gochujang (chili paste) it's got a nice little kick. I don't always get to travel to the speciality places for pork hash but these are worth the price. They're meatball sized and super flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend checking them out!

They make only one thing, really great local style porkhash…read more Golf ball sized, a mix of coarse and finely ground pork simply seasoned with salt, white pepper and a touch of sugar. This is neither the consistency of flavor of what you'd find in Chinatown. Juicy with a springy texture wrapped in a thicker, chewy, skin. A local style sauce (soy, vinegar, chili pepper water) accompanies the tasty, porky balls of goodness that brings out even more porky sweetness. Sold by the dozen at What the Truck 2 (third Friday of each month in Waikele). As part of the "manapua man special" from Str'Eats of Aloha (Sand Island Access Road) or fresh, frozen or in party platters direct at a lower price (follow on IG and DM for orders). Extremely friendly service at What the Truck 2. Worth seeking out if you miss the old school, local style porkhash.
