Leonard’s Malasadas
Big Wave Shrimp - North shore - Lemon Pepper, even better than garlic butter per fam who tried both
Shave Ice outside of Aulani with all the fixins - condensed milk and ice cream (per my family since I'm lactose intolerant)
Makahiki Loco Moko - order it Hawaiian Style with the fried eggs instead of poached
Wailana Coffee bar - Aulani Special blended drink
Korean BBQ
Kalua pork is not created equal everywhere but was tasty pulled in a sammie and falling off the bone
Monkeypods Vegan Corn Chowder was incredible! And much appreciated!
The Cookie Corner - Liliko’i Bars (Passionfruit and shortbread cookie bars): Sooo amazingly tasty - like a homemade bar or pastry! Yes Honolulu CC is good, but not amazing and its all i heard about in this arena…. I wish someone had pointed this Cookie Corner place out to us before our first trip in July. I only had them
after the trip - last weekend by meeting a fellow new UND mom who is from Hawaii during college move in of our sons! We struck up conversation and she said they lived in Kapolei, Hawaii near Aulani when she saw my Aloha shirt and we began talking and I raved about our recent trip! Small world!?! To think we would meet and I would try these delicious creations in North Dakota of all places! The next morning, she generously brought me a bag of the Liliko’i Cookie Bars she had along. And we all LOVE them! There are 14 stores in Oahu! Run - don’t walk as Pete would say
Hidden (or maybe not so hidden) Gem! Perhaps just hidden from DISboard tourists!

Barefoot beach Cafe at the park on Waikiki is not good - drinks and smoothies were good and scenery is lovely but food was not good for any of us.
