Where to even begin?! You must of course have a taste of our local food. Get to a good luau to try haupia (coconut dessert), lau lau, poi (taro), and of course kalua pig (specially made in an imu, where the entire pig is steamed underground covered by banana leaves). Coming to Hawai‘i you must also try more of our local heartburn foods like loco moco (rice, hamburger patty, egg, and gravy) and spam musubi (rice, spam, teriyaki sauce, furikake, wrapped in seaweed). Hawai‘i is such a melting pot ofcultures. Our food is very islander but also includes many fusions of different cultures, especially asian influence.

Malasadas: Hawaiian or Portuguese doughnut

To the far left Arielle and I swung by the local farmers market to get ourselves a bag of fresh hot malasadas. My favourite are coconut custard filled that you can get from Leonard’s bakery, which is open 24/7! Talk about a great midnight snack!

Absolutely love being able to meet the incedible people I have met on my journeys and being able guide these eager, happy people around spots like Hawai‘i!
