I decided to get a drink for my hubby, so I got him the lihing calamansi slush. He really enjoyed it. You can watch the fish they have for sale while waiting for your order. I'm glad that there were tables outside that I could sit at and enjoy my drink while waiting for my hubs.

Whenever I'm in Ewa Beach I try to stop in this place. They have some of the best concoctions. I…read morelove their specialty drinks. They also have your everyday boba drinks and smoothies. Today we got the Fresh Mango and Horchata Cheesecake. They were both good, but different. The Horchata Cheesecake was sweet and creamy. The Fresh Mango was made with fresh fruit, so it was on the tangy side. The li hing and mango stars gave the drink a pop. Prices have gone up a little. The small smoothies are $7 and the large are $8. The specialty drinks are around $15. We spent $30 for the Fresh Mango and Horchata Cheesecake. For the specialty drinks they charge for every add on, so it adds up fast.

@fortunefoodfinds: "FRIED my best to only take a few bites! Picked up Turon, Taro Cascaron (or…read moreCarioca as I like to refer to it), n' an Ilocos Empanada from LITTLE MANILA MARKET in Ewa Beach. When you grow up with these desserts or start craving the popular orange Filipino street food, the comfort it brings just puts you in a good mood!" SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: tiny but mighty with lots of Filipino snacks, sauces, sweets, etc. Organized n' well stocked. EXTERIOR: located at Ho'opili WAIT TIME: none PARKING: street OVERALL COMMENTS: wanted to check out what products n' hot food they had available. Visited on a Saturday, which was good bc I learned that they only offered hot food on the weekends per the lady who was working. I really wanted an Ilocos empanada so I was glad to see that they had it the day I went. I ended up air-frying it when I got home. It was still good even after the egg got double cooked. Had yummy flavor n' I liked that the vinegar it came with had a nice lil' kick of heat. The taro carioca was my favorite. Sweet crackly exterior, chewy inside similar to like mochi, n' you could taste the taro. I like my turon made with a long wrapper; get more crunchy sections from the ends, so this was the kine of turon I like. Also it has a caramelized outside adding extra flavored sweetness n' crunchiness. It's great knowing there is a Filipino market that carries a wide variety of products n' serves hot food too!

Past Little Manila Market many times... My daughter shared with me that they serve Filipino hot…read moredishes and desserts. This is one of my favorite foods, SO of course I had to go check it out for myself. Unfortunately, at the time I went there it wasn't available, and was told it wouldn't be available until about 10:30 am. So, I browsed around Little Manila Market... It's a small market and the name says what exactly you'll find here. I seen there was Puto; A steamed rice cake slightly sweet & topped with cheese for $7 for a pack of 6. I purchased a container, Let me say it was very delicious! I opened it up in my car on my way to work and couldn't stop eating it. If I could have I would have eaten all of it before reaching Waikele. I wanted to share some with my husband so I shared 2 with him. I'll be back for more! Hot foods are available: Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays. Location: Ho'opili next to Haus Of Puas. Parking: Street Parking. Seating: Outdoor, tables with umbrellas. Looking forward to trying their Filipino hot dishes & picking up a container or two of Puto. One for me and one for the husband.

Highly recommend 10/10 Hope one day Aloha Brew can have one van down my side of town cuz Starbucks ain't it. Mahalo to the team at Aloha Brew for always being on point with the coffee and the customer service.

The small crowd of people shows how popular this local business is. Service was friendly and my drink came out quick. I ordered the Dirty Matcha with oatmilk, which is a matcha latte with a shot of espresso. It was just how I like it, not too sweet and the matcha wasn't chalky. There were other specialty drinks that piqued my interest but will have to come back another time to try them. Looks like they have monthly specials too - below is a pic of April's specials. Skip the big corporations and support this local small business!
