My favorite pork hash is 'Island Manapua'. As I prefer not have crushy stuff in there, theirs is my favorite. "Island Manapua' can be found in Manoa, and my closest one is on Gulick in Kalihi.

Hey, Misty. When I lived in Moanalua Gardens I used to traverse Middle and School Street and didn't know there was this hidden gem. I grew up when there was a manapua man balancing his to steamers on a long bowed bamboo pole and your video brought back fond memories from my childhood. I totally enjoy your videos and use them when my wife and I are at a loss as to where to go. As a former business development person I totally am into supporting local, especially businesses run by older immigrants who turn out some really ono and affordable grinds. Keep up the great work!

I feel the same about manapua.. It's not that i don't like manapua, it's because I'm very specific about what I like about manapua. The dough has to be light and fluffy, not too sweet. The char siu and dough should not be too sweet together. You can tell that's the old school kine cuz the ratio of meat and dough along with the chopped texture of the char siu.

T&L is in Old Kalihi.., the area is called that because its the first area of Kalihi born and it is next to the Army Base known as Fort Shafter. Just check history records when Fort Shafter was established there in Kalihi.

Misty, suggestion - when you do your closeup of your items sitting in your car, if you're in the shade, keep the food item in the shade so the exposure is the same. That way the exposure won't be blown out. I also prefer the baked manapua from Royal Kitchen.

@FoodFiend Жыл бұрын

Yeah I couldn't find any good spot to film in the car. The sun's position at the time was straight into the windshield. I had no shade at all. That's why some b-roll was taken near the dashboard.

Watching this video reminds me of when I was home last which has been years ago and I am from NUUANU VALLEY. I went to NUUANU VALLEY ELEMENTARY then I went to kawanakoa then I went to ST LOUIS HIGH SCHOOL then I went into the ARMY for 5 years then I went to The CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA UPSTATE NEW YORK STATE, and I have been here since. GOT married and I have 3 kids. Many of these places I don't know, as the only other VALLEY is MANOA valley but thanks for the update as I want to come home soon and see what's going on, especially ALA MONOA as my brother told me and that a lot of people have left the islands, to expensive to live their. Many have left going to the mainland

@FoodFiend Жыл бұрын

Yes, many people have left. It is expensive and you'll be surprised - not the same. But at least the food is still the same. That's awesome that you went to the CIA. Are you a chef? I have some videos here and there of the Ala Moana and town area. Thanks for watching.

Hey Misty, I feel you regarding manapua, but the reason I don't care for them that much is the filling. I hate hate hate when you bite into the filling and get chunks of fat and/or gristle. I've even gagged on that before. If I wanted manapua in the past, I'd go to Libby's because their filling is ground fine so even if it has the same amount of fat and gristle, because it was ground so fine, the texture was easy to take. How was the filling at T&L regarding texture? Looked OK from what you showed us.

@FoodFiend Жыл бұрын

Yes. I don't like the sweet taste. This one was not ground up fine. But it didn't seem like too many fat pieces in there.

@tonisanoedelacruz9754 Жыл бұрын

@FoodFiend Жыл бұрын

Whaaa? I thought the food was yummy. But definitely different from when I came a long time ago with the different owner. Not in a bad way. Just different style of cooking.
