Shopping at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market in Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. I was walking along when I saw a long line for one of the vendors. It was a business called: Artisan Cottage Sourdough Bakers I quickly read some reviews and found out that they're quite popular and sell out at times, so I jumped in line. Service was very friendly and helpful! I got the last loaf of Spinach Garlic & Onion sourdough bread... and a Cinnamon Raisin loaf. Slicing the loaves up at home, I chomped on the Cinnamon Raisin sourdough first... delicious and chewy! There were so many raisins in the bread! The Spinach, Garlic & Onion sourdough had a more subtle flavor. I fried a slice in butter and made it crunchy and better! I heard the owner tell another customer that this bread makes great French Toast. He also recommended slicing up the loaves and freezing them so they're ready to eat! I'll go back on Sunday between 10am and 2pm for the sourdough bagels and the Honey & Molasses sourdough loaf!

He smiles from start to finish eating any of the sourdough breads from here. Don't worry about the $9 to $15 price per loaf. It is 100000% worth it. In addition to the tastiest breads ever, Mike is super friendly and usually asks which loaf you want!!! There's a long line or he's sold out for a reason.

They also were letting you pay the difference because the free drinks were the og matcha latte or the strawberry matcha. I opted to get the Velvet Valentine and my husband got the salted maple matcha. We loved both our drinks. Wait wasn't long. Such cute drinks and straws as well. I want to go back to try their other drinks as well! It was great for local businesses to support each other.

FINALLY got to try their pork hash at the monthly "What the Truck?" Event in Waikele (parking lot…read morewith the old K Mart closer to the freeway). 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!

So finally got to try these. It was sold by the dozen with sauce for $21. Yes they were big but…read morekind of expensive to me. Taste was good but for me because I'm not a super big meat eater it was too much meat. I'm more the size of like char hung sut. Service was fast.

Good, Hearty, Savory food.

First time customer...tried their chicken masala naanwich. Found them at the Kailua Farmers Market…read moreon a Sunday. Wow...so delicious. The naan is homemade. It's slightly chewy yet soft and soaked up all the taste from the chicken. The chicken masala was so flavorful and went well with their sambal. Will definitely try other dishes next time.

I didn't try to go down and find him during business hours which he has confirmed is accurately…read morereflected on Yelp. I messaged him instead with Yelp but you also text the number in this listing. He was very fast to respond and I simply told him what I wanted and met up with him to pick up. $10 for 1 pound or $25 for 3 pounds of either regular or spicy. While I picked up both I've only tried the spicy so far. The smoked meat comes in a vacuum sealed bag so I just put the regular one in the freezer. This smoked meat is fairly lean which concerned me at first but my concerns were not warranted. The meat has a strong great flavor but the spice level is pretty low. In a way I was happy with that because I didn't want to be have the spice overpower the flavor of good smoked meat. As long as you aren't looking for burn your mouth spicy this is excellent smoked meat at a reasonable price.

We jus bought a pound and thats a good amount for 2 people. We will definitely buy again and prob more next time. We gotta have my family and friends try it. #goodmeat -pic posted is what she sent, as I wanted to see what it looked like first. Lol

Mmmm... Delicious!!…read more The wife and I caught a quick glance of Moore's Soul Food Kitchen truck while they were parked at Geiger in Ewa Beach. It was the first time we saw this truck, so we both couldn't help but be curious about the goods.. especially my wife lol. First off, the owner was super cool! Being that my wife is from Louisiana, every time we hit up a soul food spot, she asks where they're from. Today, we learned that the Moore's family is from Florida and have been in Hawaii since the 80's. Since we already had an early lunch, we weren't tryna get too crazy on the ordering as I typically do. My wife decided to try the chicken wing plate which came with 10pc chicken wings and fries. After debating on the flavor choice, we agreed on chipotle mango. When the owner hand delivered the plate to us, she asked for our honest review... and here it is!! Haha! FIVE STARS! :) Happy to report the wings and fries were amazing!!! Loved the homemade sauce that the wings were tossed in. I was expecting a little kick after catching a scent of hot sauce, but they weren't spicy at all. I appreciate the naked wings too btw. They were so juicy and flavorful, and I love when my food is piping hot! Excited to try other offerings and even other flavors of wings. Hopefully more menu items are available the next time we stop by. Today there were a few things marked SOLD OUT. As far as hours of operation and locations, the best thing to do is follow them on instagram (which I don't have), but calling their number to check the schedule is another option. Hope you love it!!

Came here one Wednesday at the Ewa beach location and I was very disappointed. Ordered the chicken…read morewing combo with fried and a small size of mac and cheese. The wings had NO flavor!!! It's like they just deep fried it without any seasoning or flour. Then they just threw buffalo sauce for flavor. The fries were frozen fries that you could get from your local grocery store. Nothing special. Hand cut fries would have been a lot better. The mac and cheese is a big zero. No taste and it wasn't the best kind of cheese. As a "soul food" restaurant, I was very disappointed. I've been to a lot of soul food places and a lot of them stand out in a good way. They marinate there chicken, and fry it with flour, they hand cut the fries and fry it with peanut oil, and lastly they scratch make the mac n cheese. Saldy this restaurant failed to put more effort into their food. Which is why im giving them a big fat ZERO. Only put one star cuz I have to. I won't be coming back.

When you see that Red & White striped food truck, you know you've found Leonard's Malasada Mobile…read morewagon. Parked in the parking lot of the Waikele shopping center. You can literally see it on either side of the H-1 freeway going West Or East. These freshly made, warm, fluffy & crisp delicious Malasadas are perfect for any time of the day. Recommended to be eaten right away for best tasting deliciousness of these Malasadas. Service: Stopped by on a Saturday morning, there was no line, just one other customer ahead of me.

It was a Thursday afternoon, and we mingled with the intrepid tourists who drove to Central O'ahu. This malasadamobile is permanently parked in food truck row. You can see it from the freeway. You can see Laverne's, the malasasamobile, Mountain Shave Ice, Thong's Thai, Taste Tea, Dick's Lechon, and ... the blood bank mobile. The truck ladies had to be sweltering but they were still nice. And it's always a happy atmosphere when you're about to get a box full of deep-fried, sugar rolled doughnuts. I stuck with the classic sugar but we also got some cinnamon sugar and stuffed (dobash and haupia) to share.

It was almost 11am and it looked like all the trucks were closed, but fortunately, Dick's was open. It looked like they were only one of two or three that were. I decided on the lechon with pancit plate this time, since the Fried rice I got the last time was fairly bland. It was a good choice, as the noodles were flavorful, with lots of veggies. Unfortunately, the lechon was super salty this time. It was moist and the skin was veto crispy, but I could only eat a little at a time, due to the saltiness. I'm hoping this was a "one off", and they didn't change their preparation or recipe. I'll have to make sure by stopping by again to grab another order soon.

Everyone was working hard to get the food out fast. Lechon had the perfect crispy skin while the meat was tender. A good amount was given n' was nicely prepared. Ate it with the mang tomas sauce that was provided. The addition of spam pieces was to incorporate the main attraction. The fried rice unfortunately didn't have much flavor. I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it. The turon had a good crunchy exterior, the banana seemed a bit on the dry side. Glad to see many people trying Dick's Lechon n' supporting local!
