ALOHA🌺 We took you along with us to see where to eat in Downtown Honolulu for a food tour! We ate so much local plates, udon, Vietnamese and Thai food, then went to get boba tea!
We want to highlight local businesses in Hawaii and in order for mom and pop businesses to stay in business we try to support as many local businesses as we can!
Mahalo Yi Fang for having us 🤙🏼

Totally latw to the party but if you weren't aware, in the video, when you giysnwalk into Foet St. Cafe, the owner, Vince, is sitting at the table on the right in front of the soda machine. His son and wofe also work there. Vince used to work at Mariposa waaaay back in the day. Super humble, good people. Our favorites there are to have the pad thai with shrimp, the curry with garlic chicken, and their special banh mi. I agree that the pad thai isn't authentic but it is very comforting especially if you need carbs during a super stressful day at work.

I’ve never had udon noodles, but you both, with Marugame’s help, made me crave it now. It looks and “sounds” so good with all the slurps. Even though the udon was cold, it looked like it was on FIRE 🔥. Those chicken nugget strips looked ono. The Vietnamese place looked really good too; I had some Pad Thai the other day, but I’m sure it’s way more legit in Hawaii. I have to stop watching your episodes after I eat dinner. You make me hungry all over again. Lastly, the dessert is so different to what I’m used to calling “something sweet” after dinner. I would love to try it because I love to try something new. Thank for broadening my horizons. We hope to try some new treats when we visit Hawaii. Mahalo!!! 🤙🏽🧋🧄🍗🍜🌺

Good to see/hear that the two Marugame locations are equally good. Don't even have the heart anymore to wait in that line at the Kuhio location, no matter the craving for those cold udon noodles. Last time we went there, it was for 'breakfast' to beat the rush. In pre-Covid days, think that they actually opened really early. I recently had Grilled Pork Spring Rolls - Nem Nướng Cuốn in SoCal. Never had anything like that; wondering if Felix's mom makes them at home? Would love to try making them at home.

I used to go to that second location often. I admit the pad Thai noodles are amazing. But once as I waited for my food a cook came out and stood close to the register area. He then began to dig his nose. I have not eaten there since. He might not work there now. That might have been around six years ago. But gross. He didn’t even try hiding doing it. Too bad. I really miss those noodles. Shame.
