Discovering a Buffet inside a Supermarket -- Hawaii's Amazing $35 Foodland Farms Buffet

Hawaii, especially the Waikiki area is great but it can get expensive. After exploring the island a bit, visiting the beaches and enjoying the sights, my friends and I was in search of some great poke on the island. And as luck would have it, one of the best poke offerings which happens to be at a great price is in a supermarket! ‪@FoodlandHawaii‬ to be exact. We certainly sampled many pokes including a king crab poke!
And after browsing around, we found that this was more than a supermarket! With a wine bar and a grill restaurant right in the supermarket. And upon further exploring, they even have a buffet!
The buffet that the Eleven restaurant situated in the supermarket as well offers a breakfast brunch buffet including your much needed morning mimosa on the weekends. We couldn't resist and we were not disappointed. For $35, there was an array of Hawaiian favourites: from the local catch of the day, to the luscious ny strip roast and everything in between. Just don't miss out on the great pastries and chowder like I did...
If you are visiting Waikiki or the Honolulu area, definitely give this buffet a visit!

@@TimLeeLetsGo + @ikiddyounot That french toast is now a "bananas foster french toast", so maybe Tim won't like that version, if he ever returns to this supermarket buffet. The menu also has a chocolate banana macadamia bread. Amazing value for $35. Seems like better food quality than Duke's $31 buffet (in Tim's next video). Surprised that Tim was the first vlogger to review this brand new buffet at Foodland's Eleven restaurant. None of the local Hawaiian food vloggers have any videos about it yet. Great find!

Just got back to the mainland after 6 months on Oahu. We did do the poke at Foodland 1 or 2 times a week. Probably the best deal on the island and really good. We would just buy a pound of it instead of the bowl with rice. We had a rice cooker at our place. You get about twice as much poke for the price if you do the rice yourself.
