L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is a tried and true place for plate lunches and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and hot - and as a former resident of Oahu, mac salad and rice is a treat. For a burger rush, we ate the Mahaloha burger - certified Angus beef and again, it was hot and delicious. Their fries were great as well. My brother-in-law asked about a malasadas and told him that it is more or less a doughnut but was brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese who came to work the fields back a hundred or so years ago. It's sold all over the islands now. When I lived here in the '70's, a food truck parked itself in a parking lot and people lined up to buy it. When they ran out, that was it until the next time and it was not everyday. Penny's malasadas was good and delicious. It was hot and sooo ono, as we say it in the islands! There's a price to pay for the delicious food though - and it's not cheap! So go try, yeah!

We're talking a four-stories tall, open-air, commercial retail complex. My colleague and I decided to pop in after a delicious lunch to peruse some of their offerings. Kira x Miffy? Stüssy with their exclusive Hawaii line? Are high-end luxury brands your thing? They have everything here. They also have some great eateries and free entertainment nearly daily. Check their website for an event schedule. It's a great outdoor space with lots of places for you to spend your hard earned dollars. Enjoy, have fun, and charge it!

It's not easily seen from the main road if you pass quickly since there isn't a large storefront sign, but you'll see a stairway from the sidewalk and you'll go upstairs to get to the shop. I feel like the prices definitely increased after that show got popular, unfortunately for me, but good for them! Still happy to support. There are so many different shelves and tables to look at here. If you don't mind digging through the chaos, you'll find some cute stuff! I always like grabbing a new long sleeve or hoodie here to bring back to California. They have so many different designs and colors, from newborn size all the way up!

I really enjoy the hot food line they have. Everyday there's different dishes they have you can purchase for plate lunches. The store is pretty clean. The only thing is that the store needs to have the floor fixed and redone. The floor has cracks all over the store. Plus the floors are uneven. If you leave your shopping cart unattended, you may see your cart rolling off in different directions due to the uneven floor. The staff is friendly and helpful.

It's not completely Chinese per se because, for example, the Food Hall is more global in scope in order to cater to more international tourists. Filipino, Korean, and Thai eateries are next to burger and burrito stands. There's even a Maguro Brothers outlet offering fresh poke bowls and sashimi plates. Chinese delectables, of course, are fully represented here with popular kiosks dedicated to dim sum and Chinese-style BBQ. Adding to the full Chinatown vibe around the corner is the expansive Open Market where local customers shop for fresh meats, produce, and seafood all out on full display. However, the most inviting space is the outdoor courtyard surrounded by various gift shops and anchored by tables with shade umbrellas and a clock tower. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

This seemed like a more local, authentic experience. The food shops in the building here made it feel like I was traveling overseas, from the smaller seating area and the fish market. There is a variety of foods, mostly Filipino, Chinese, Vietnamese, and poke representing. Towards the back there is a fish market, where the fish are so fresh and I guess you could say the displays were beautiful. Outside of the main food court area are some vendors. I didn't get to check out many of them, but they did remind me that of other Chinatown shops in other cities. I loved that this felt so familiar, yet was a new experience!

Both of our grandparents were born and raised on Oʻahu, and this vintage store brought back so many memories. The owners were incredibly down-to-earth and fun to talk story with. I scored a green palaka shirt that I plan to rock on the beach for Christmas, plus picked up some screen-printed shirts as gifts. There's also an upstairs room with more premium pieces, including collaborations with Japanese brands. Shout out to the cool mom that was buying gifts up there for her son. I've never really been into vintage shopping, but Single Double completely changed my mind. This place was more than just a store- it was an experience, and one I can't wait to revisit.
