Leonard’s Bakery

Best malasada in Hawaii. Malasada, a Portuguese desert – golden brown deep fried dough with sugar sprinkle. Japanese tourists would walk here all the way from Waikiki to just have a few of these tasty treat. Oh, people like to take pictures under the rare flashing neon sign. Now that the words are out, Japanese [...]

Rainbow Drive Inn

One of Hawaii’s best Plate lunch place. Locals and tourists alike crowded this place during lunch and dinner hours. The usual patrons come here hungry, between work or after their swim and surf at Diamond Head or Waikiki. Service is quick. Foods are great and serve on paper plates and boxes. I love the Hamburger [...]

Kapahulu (Senior) Center

Seniors, the belly dancing, and ukulele playing doesn’t stop when you’re 65. It is just the beginning of a life of fun. When in your life will you get so much time to pursuit your interest? Learn how to hanafuda, shigin, calligraphy, mah jong, sahmbo dahn, Karaoke, aerobics, and stretching, just to name a few of the [...]

Jack In the Box

   Oh, Jack in the Box – the best chain burger joint by far. I love meal #7, DBC&CB (Double Bacon & Cheese Ciabatta Burger) This burger put McDonald’s double cheese burger to shame. Twice the weight, twice the height. The hamburger has texture of real hamburger. The bacons are real crispy. The ciabatta bread are toasty [...]

Genki Sushi

Automated fresh sushi. Nice. Genki Sushi is a sushi factory of sort. Sushi come to you on a conveyor belt and you take what you like. Sushi rice is packed by a automated machine (yeah, no more sweaty and crampy hands for the chef) Don’t worry. you can also order whatever you want if you [...]

Sekiya’s Restaurant & Delicatessen

Located right across the street from Kaimuki High school. I can smell the tempura cooking from its exhaust every time walking pass it. Take out or dine in are equally common.  Plenty of parking of its own.  But don’t dare to park at Market City if you rather not tip the tow.  808-732-1656 2746 Kaimuki [...]
