Hawaii | Brunch Interrupted by Nene Geese 🌊

Kahuwai Cookhouse & Market This beachfront spot at Kona Rosewood is the ultimate chill zone—dine right on the sand! Perfect post-snorkeling fuel timing! 🏖️🍽️ Food rundown: • Fried Mahi Mahi: Flaky yet firm, crispy crust. Only quirk? The kitchen’s mood dictates portion size—sometimes 2 pieces, sometimes 4 (I documented every meal 📸). • Ahi Tuna: Ate it daily (slightly over it), but still decent. Yellowtail was refreshingly light. (Note: All my orders were "kid-sized" but generously portioned!) • Pork Sandwich: Their house special—changes daily! 🐷🥪 Then came the Nene geese gatecrash! 🦢 Staff swore they’d never seen them near Rosewood... until these four showed up demanding fries! Fed a few? Big mistake. They stalked us all the way to the ocean! Pro tip: Fries = universal bait—dangle some underwater while snorkeling, and fish swarm instantly. Magic! ✨ Bonus: The hotel offers free coconut water 🥥 for beachgoers, and the restaurant packs simple takeout boxes—a lifesaver for island exploring (trust us, outside food options are scary). #Foodie #Hawaii #Kona #HawaiiEats #BigIsland #Rosewood #BigIslandDining
