The Food
I don't know about you but I can remember places I've been or things that I've done because of the food involved. This trip was no exception
One stop was in Haleiwa and my favorite shave ice place - Matsumoto's
I love this place.
Did you know that our name could be Matsumoto and not Takahashi? A few generations ago in my family history there was a Takahashi who had 6 daughters (sounds familiar). One daughter married a Matsumoto but kept the Takahashi name so it would carry on. That's the line I came from.
We made a lot of meals at home as well. Luke seemed to like it.
We stopped by Costco a couple times to pick up food and other things.
Like the fruit smoothies that they don't have at Costco in Canada
We did order a Costco Pizza for our first meal in Hawaii.
BBQ Tri-tip with Chef Mike
We used the large kitchen alot.
We checked out out a frozen yogurt in Honolulu - Menchies
You could add whatever they had - I added mochi
Luke and Alana left on Monday night.
Before we went to the airport we stopped at Teddy's Burgers in Waikiki. Great burgers
On Wednesday we went to the Swap Meet at Aloha stadium. After we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory in Honolulu.
Old Spaghetti Factory
Close to Laie in the town to Kahuku is the Kahuku Grill. I'd have to rate it better than Teddy's. Bigger, tastier burgers and a smaller price. And its owned by Angie and Mike and Erika's Stake President.
The burger
Coconut Shrimp Plate
Fish Combo Plate
I also had another first. I've been to the Dole Plantation before but never had the pineapple Dole Whip so this time we went for it.
It was Tyken approved.
We also sampled Malasadas
The best way to describe them is Hawaiian donuts
Anyone who know me know I love Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. When I found that Guy had been to the Poke Stop in Mililani and it was just of the freeway on our way home to Laie I had to stop.
Poke is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine.
Its like flavored sashimi.
I got some poke to go. I had to have my picture taken by the Guy Poster.
So now I have been to 6 places Guy has been to in 4 different states.
Mike and I loved it. I don't think anyone else even wanted to try it.
Did you know you can buy poke at Costco in Hawaii?

Wow! Food is GREAT!
We will have to go back to Hawaii just to hit some of these food places.
Darren and I missed the Matsumoto’s stop so we definitely have to come back for that.
Sounds like we will have to try out Kahku Grill also.
I'm so proud of you taking picture of the food and posting them! I love stuff like that. And the food looked great, except for the raw fish.
