Honolulu Food Guide πΊβοΈ
Every day in Hawaii was all about hiking, diving, and eating nonstop β and my taste buds have been spoiled for good! π As a self-proclaimed food snob, I have to say Honolulu did NOT disappoint. Of course, there were a few overhyped spots too β lesson learned: always check where the food blogger is based! (Someone from a small town might not have access to authentic Asian flavors, ya know?) Anyway, if youβre from LA or Yunnan β trust me, you can safely follow this food guide! π πΊ Island Vintage Coffee Visited five times in five days β need I say more? π β Island Latte & Cold Brew: Pretty standard, butβ¦ π Green Mango Smoothie: ONE SIP AND I ASCENDED! π₯π Tart green mango blended with passionfruit β so refreshing and perfectly balanced. I rushed for one last cup before my flight β THAT good. π Loco Moco: Braised beef so tender + two runny eggs mixed into sticky, saucy rice β rich but not heavy. Absolutely delicious! π€ Garlic Shrimp: Many call it the best, but Jennyβs Shrimp Truck tops it easily. Here, the shrimp, garlic, and rice felt disconnected β edible but not memorable. π Acai Bowl: Layers of crunchy granola between fruity ice blends β perfect post-workout refreshment! π₯― Ube Cream Bagel: Soft taro bagel with ube cream and coconut spread β a beautiful surprise! Bagel lovers, donβt miss this. Rating: βββββ πΊ Han no Daidokoro / Kakaβako Reservations required! π My first night here left me shook β each bite of meat was so sublime, I felt the cows lived a worthy life for this moment π₯Ή π― Go for the $150 Miyazaki Beef Set β enough for 2-3 people to share. π MUST add the Top Quality Beef Tongue β honestly the most flavorful, tender grilled tongue Iβve had in years! π Hot Stone Garlic Rice: Fried right at your table with beef and crispy garlic β the aroma alone will hypnotize you. Incredible wok hei and seasoning! Rating: A bit pricey, but 100% worth it! βββββ πΊ Maguro Spot Poke Hands-down the BEST POKE I had on Oahu! π π Just order the Signature Bowl with Sushi Rice β so fresh and flavorful, with well-paired sides and sauce. Light yet complex. After snorkeling, I devoured this and proudly declared myselfβ¦ a mermaid of the sea! π§ββοΈπ #Hawaii #Oahu #Honolulu #HonoluluEats #FoodieGuide #HawaiianFood #TravelGrub
