The best pastele in Kaneohe can be found at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market on Wednesday…read moreafternoons and Sunday mornings. A wonderful lady makes all of the pastele and pastele stew and sells out at every farmers market. I get the pastele plate for $17 which comes with a large pastele, granule rice, and salad. I can't recall the price of the pastele stew but that comes with white rice and looks good too! The pastele is slightly spicy and very good, the pastele is the largest i've seen and i usually make two meals out of the plate. The line is always never ending and for good reason! The booth can be found on the first floor during the Windward Mall Farmers Market right outside of Target and the food court.

Simplicity in the morning…read more.. I constantly pass this obvious gray truck quietly parked right along Mother Waldron Park in the early hours like a silent nudge for some early morning fuel to start my day...no sign...no service window its like a secret club grinds. Assuming he used to sell Managua sadly none is to be found here but what you'll find is a great assortment of budge friendly items like donuts, pork hash, musubi, chicken and fried noodles. As I approach for my selection a gentleman was a delight ordering two pork hash 2/$1, fried noodles $3 and chicken $2...all was $6! Parked along the park you're able to take advantage to an impromptu picnic though we all basically take it togo as I did to work and fueled my morning for a productive work flow lol! The noodles are plain no cabbage or any veggies not even green onions just some sliced char siu and it was a bit dry but satisfied a hungry appetite, and the pork hash was a tiny single bite size tease and the chicken is similar to a chicken fried steak as it's boneless coated with mochiko it was okay and I was just happy to have a budge friendly choice to start my day. Thank you!

On top of that I still have to cook dinner. This stand is my huge help to get through the week. A break, a relief, a breather when I feel like I'm drowning in everyday responsibilities. It's also an encouragement to keep going because of the workers whom are sisters, husband and wife, mother and daughter, grandchildren all working hard together. Giving great service with a smile on their face and making it through the everyday daily grind together. Type of Food: Buk Buk kitchen serves different Filipino dishes that my mom enjoys but I always come for the tasty, tender, marinated to perfection bar-b-q grilled chicken. A few times they offered Hawaiian dishes and other local dishes. Here and there I mix it a bit and get a combo with the thinly sliced beef. I get the family size which perfectly feeds my boys and I. Yeah, my husband has to fend for himself. It comes with 4 generous scoops of rice, salad, and four cut up pieces of chicken for $12. Locaton: Buk Buk kitchen is associated with Mahiku farmers market. They travel to different areas. Check out their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/search/str/buk%20buk%20kitchen/keywords_top This is the link for Mahiku Farmers Market http://mahikufarmersmarket.com/ Support local, support a hard working family, and take a break from the hustle and bustle.

You can really tell they put a lot of care into the food. The owner is also the cook, and he's one of the nicest people you'll meet. He was super friendly, welcoming, and provided amazing customer service. It's always nice to support a local business where the owner truly cares about both the food and the customers. How many times do we have an establishment offer great food but lacking of service. This is not the case. THE SERVICE IS EXCEPTIONAL!!! If you're craving some really good New Mexican food (which is a new and exciting cuisine in our area) , definitely give this food truck a try. I know I'll be back for more, absolutely yes!!!

Takeout lunch in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Passing by this food truck several times, I had to make it a point to stop by when it's open because the hours are limited: 10:30am to 2:30pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; And 7:30am to noon on Saturdays (Closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays) Service was very friendly, cheerful, and welcoming! I took my two chicken tacos and two carne asada tacos home. They were all beautifully colorful and generously filled! To me, the carne asada had better flavor, but I like beef more than chicken, in general. I didn't need the sauce in the containers. The tacos were spicy enough for me. I figured out that the spiciness came from the green chopped jalapeños that were mixed into the tomatoes and onions! Ouch! I was choking towards the end because I am a spice wimp. Sorry. Maybe I'll try a Breakfast Burrito on a Saturday next time.

Takeout dinner from Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I saw this food truck - Che Wey - along Kamehameha Highway, next to Jack In The Box - and I was curious. They feature Mexican and Argentinian cuisine. I parked in the free parking lot and made my way to the window. The service was very polite and efficient! I got the Taco Platter. It had one of each flavor: birria, steak, and a vegetarian taco. They were okay, but a bit skimpy. The man warned me that the two sauces in the containers were spicy, so I didn't even open them! I'm a spice wimp! LOL!

They cater to the needs and wants of the customer. They have daily lunch specials that are sure to please any ones appetite. The selections are great too. One of our favorite is Thursday's enchiladas. The portion is HUGE and it is ONLY $7.50. The mac salad is wonderful too, which is an item I am picky about anywhere I go. All her dishes I have tried are really good, CHEAP prices, and LARGE portions! A little note, she has a restaurant in Waipahu that we frequent too!

This Plate lunch wagon is located outside the animal quarentine station on Halawa Valley Road…read more They arrive at 11:00 am and park on the mountain side of the entrance.

We were so excited to have a food event come to Kailua that we bought a lot. I've forgotten some of the vendors that were there........The ones that I can remember were: Shogunai Fairy Cakes (no they weren't dressed up this time) Chicago Eats Thai Loco Foods Tats Shave Ice Xtreme Tacos Puffettes Egg Puffs Soul Lanikai Shrimp Truck & and an ice cream truck Hawaiian Soljahs is a youth baseball team and this is their fundraiser.......and they also have a booth with canned soda ($1.00), bottled water, and hot chocolate w/whipped cream. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WOCyhWNFxAlsl36loEVQVw?select=w7nmXIgqM_8tTZDUOLsLiA Enchanted Lake Elementary School had their own booth, selling Rice Krispie treats, shortbread, beef sticks, & Cookie Corner cookies. They were also taking orders for their Easter Imu pit !@ $20. BTW, they also do a Thanksgiving imu. It's a fund raiser for the 4th Grade Big Island trip. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WOCyhWNFxAlsl36loEVQVw?select=zB5WSLoBZ39KybDCMjZleA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WOCyhWNFxAlsl36loEVQVw?select=6iI-QUWMxnx5kpb4j-XkcQ So many choices that it was hard making up our minds. I love gyros so we were looking @ Chicago Eats, and someone ordering told us she was from Chicago, and the food tasted just like the food in Chicago (deep dish pizza, Chicago hot dogs, etc.). I ordered the gyro, and my husband ordered the hot dog. Next time it'll be the deep dish pizza. Even the kiddie pizza looked delish! I bought cupcakes, a lemon bar and carrot cake from Fairy Cakes. My husband bought a spicy ahi poke bowl w/brown rice which was fantastic. At another vendor we bought a sampler slider (set of 3; steak, meatloaf and veggie) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WOCyhWNFxAlsl36loEVQVw?select=Af1EahdCOhh3GV94oXS6bg There's always room for dessert, and I bought bread pudding which, thankfully, was very light http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WOCyhWNFxAlsl36loEVQVw?select=7o6gUL-qE-JeYiZw8l_a_w I can't remember the names of those food trucks....so if you recognizes the food let me know!! Today the hours were from 4-8. There were are a few stalls in the lot, but more on the street because there was basketball going on. The food trucks and tents are right in front of the cafeteria so there's lot of seating and no worries if it should rain. And no.....we did not eat all of that. We have leftovers for a midnight snack ;) ('ll post more pics later on when I come out of my food stupor.) Yelp 365 Challenge: #42/365

I am loving this food truck trend…read more Wife and I were starving after a hard workout and needed some quick grinds. Luckily for us we rolled upon this event at Enchanted Lake Elementary. Wife went to the 5-0 Ribs truck and got, well, the ribs. Tasty and tender. She also gave me a sample of the brisket which tasted like some kinda meat heaven. The guys at the 5-0 Ribs truck were sooo friendly with great service. I went to the We're Cooking Fresh For You Truck and got the steak with pesto on brown rice and salad plate. It was actually quite healthy and had a nice side of fresh apple and pineapple slices. Fun events aside from food. Drag racing cars revving their engines. Live music. Dancing. Basket hoop games.
