Not much variety at all to buy but the girls were friendly and helpful. I'm assuming the guy there was there Dad and the Owner. The girls quoted me prices then when they rung me up it was $25 more than they quoted me because the guy was standing there. I didn't say anything because I felt I'm half Samoan, that's my donation for there buisness.Then I thought about it and got mad. The guy judged me by the color of my skin and gave my cousin who is full Samoan a free pineapple pie and spoke to her with a smile in Samoan"saying here have this on us.its fresh out the oven and thank you for coming in" and looked at me with a blank stare.

One place to find food prepared daily is at the back of a very nondescript strip mall on Western Avenue in Anaheim, once again proving the point that driving too fast is not only dangerous but a good way to miss the good stuff.
The shop sells colorful printed shirts, bags of chips and candy from Australia and New Zealand that must be available in Samoa, some fresh produce, and flags and other memorabilia. The main focus for us of course was the steam table and prepared foods, of which they have three sizes of meals depending on how hungry you are. The already gigantic lunch ($11.99) is technically the smallest but feeds three (non-islander noobs) and consists of taro and banana under a sausage (sosisi) on one half with lamb over a base of sapasui, or Samoan-style chow mein...
