Hawaiian food was all

King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant May 14 '01 The Bottom Line If you thought Hawaiian food was all about gloppy purple poi, think again. Yum! Hawaii. It's a tropical paradise best known for swaying grass skirts, coconut bras, drinks with umbrellas, and an excess of vowels. I never gave much thought to Hawaiian food, though. Any cuisine that's best known for poi isn't exactly a high watermark in the culinary pantheon of regional cooking. Or is it? I discovered King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant a couple of years ago when my best friend and her husband were planning a huge backyard Luau party for their tenth wedding anniversary. I considered buying them a crystal vase that they'd probably hate, or some sort of single-use appliance that they'd never use, but when I learned they were planning to serve hot dogs and potato salad at their Luau, I decided that the best possible gift would be to have their party catered. I ordered pounds and pounds of Teriyaki Beef and Huli Huli Chicken, rice, and Hawaiian bread, and the guests ate it faster than we could serve it to them. It was good. We finished the party off with both a fresh fruit torte and a massive "Paradise Cake"-- layers of guava, lime, and passion fruit cakes, with icing in the same flavors, and plenty of fresh whipped cream. I liked the cake so much that as my next birthday approached, I started dropping very subtle hints about what sort of cake I wanted. I want a King's Hawaiian Guava Cake for my birthday. Don't buy me any other cake. Write it down. KING'S HAWAIIAN GUAVA CAKE. (My husband doesn't usually pay much attention to my ramblings, so that was fairly subtle.) King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant doesn't look like a slice of Hawaii. It looks more like a bland, mainland coffee shop. Imagine Coco's, but get rid of the hideous pink and pastel green color scheme. There are a handful of exotic touches to let you know you're not in Kansas. Just off to the side of the hostess's station, a giant pineapple awash in white christmas lights provides the first clue. And then there's the fish tank. We're not talking about a 10 gallon bowl of guppies. King's has a large counter wrapped around a huge, cylindrical tank full of exotic saltwater sea creatures. If you eat your meal in front of the tank, you'll see Yellow Tangs, Clownfish, lots of cute little blue fellas, and a few ridiculous-looking Triggerfish (what can you say about a critter with a "face" that extends halfway across its body?) If you watch closely, you may even see a fairly large, evil looking eel slither out of the rocks momentarily. The Most Important Meal of the Day, Hawaiian Style Our first real meal at King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant was breakfast. My husband and I took our kids to King's early on a Saturday morning. The crowd was unbelievable. At barely 9:00 AM, we had to wait 30 minutes for a table. We might have gotten a table a little sooner, but our daughter was pretty insistent about sitting near the fish tank. The breakfast menu is fairly large, and includes both traditional American breakfast fare and more exotic Island specialties. I chose the Orange Macadamia Pancakes ($5) which were topped with sliced bananas. They were fairly ordinary, and not something I'd go back for. My older daughter ordered King's Hawaiian French Toast ($5). I took one bite, and kicked myself for not ordering the same thing. The Hawaiian French Toast is made with thick slices of sweet Hawaiian egg bread, and dipped in a tasty, delicately spiced batter. At its worst, french toast tastes like soggy bread coated in scrambled egg. At its best, french toast is soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and does not taste overly eggy. King's makes the best french toast I've ever tasted, and serves it with either warm maple or warm coconut syrup. For my younger daughter, the kids' menu listed several choices, and they're only $2.50 each. The little creature of habit balked at dad's suggestion to try eggs with Huli Huli chicken, and asked for pancakes and fruit. He finished off two-thirds of my Orange Macadamia Pancakes, but my husband still managed to pack away his King's Scramble ($6)- three eggs scrambled with diced Portuguese sausage, green onions, mushrooms, and chilies. The egg dishes are served with toast or a muffin, and your choice of hash browns, Hawaiian potatoes, steamed rice, or fried rice. The Hawaiian potatoes are absolutely delicious, but if you're a vegetarian, stay away from them. They get their spicy, smoky flavor from a combination of paprika and some sort of chopped ham. If you prefer your meat on the side and not scrambled into your eggs, there are several options. For the less adventurous, King's offers plain old bacon, ham, or link sausage. If you want to try something more exotic. King's has marinated Huli Huli chicken, Portuguese sausage, or Spam. Yes, Spam. Spam has been around for nearly 70 years, and although the mention of this meat-floating-in gelatinous-muck is enough to cause most of us in the other 49 states to dry heave, Hawaiians love the stuff. We completed our breakfasts with glasses of passion-orange-guava juice ($1.85) and Kona blend coffee ($1.55, unlimited refills.) The coffee is rich and strong, and my teenager had to dump four little containers of cream into her mug to achieve the desired wussy, light color she prefers. Volume II - And Then We Had Dinner No, no, not on the same day. We liked our breakfast so much that we returned to King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant for many more breakfasts. Just last week, we made it there for dinner for the first time. In typical prfstars-obsessive-fashion, we've been back two more times in the past seven days. When you pull into the sprawling parking lot at King's and find a spot immediately, you'll be lulled into a false sense of security about table availability. Despite the large diningroom, there is always a wait at King's. The place is popular. We went at 5:00 PM on a Wednesday night, a time that by all rights should be dead at every restaurant that is not an all-you-can-eat buffet in Florida. We waited for 20 minutes, and were then escorted to our table by a delightful hostess who kept apologizing for the wait. We were very hungry by the time we sat down, and asked our waiter to recommend appetizers. He warned us that all "Pupus" are large, and serve two or more. To get a good sampling of the various offerings, he suggested the Royal Platter ($10), a huge tray of deep fried Hawaiian won tons, chicken macadamia egg rolls, teriyaki beef and chicken, and a variety of dipping sauces. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to take more than half of it home with us-- if we'd finished, we'd have had no room left for dinner. We even managed to stop chomping on the Hawaiian sweet bread to save our appetites for the main course. Our waiter observed how much my husband enjoyed the variety in our appetizer, and suggested the Luau Platter ($9.45) for his main course. He feasted on Taro Leaf Lau Lau, Huli Huli Chicken, Kalua Pork, and Lomi Salmon until he was ready to belch and pass out. Fortunately, he didn't do either until we got home. editorial observation: Mahi Mahi, Huli Huli Chicken, Taro Leaf Lau Lau. Redundancy is a big part of the Hawaiian culinary experience. When I requested the Spicy Beef Bowl Bowl, the waiter chuckled but my husband hid under the table. My Spicy Beef Bowl Bowl ($8) was a mound of white rice, topped with sauteed vegetables and beef. The beef and vegetables were marinated in the most delicious sauce-- both spicy and fruity, and reminiscent of Chinese garlic sauce. Dessert King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant is very well known here in Southern California for their breads and pastries. Any bakery smells good but with an emphasis on exotic fruits, the colorful display at King's Bakery is too much to bear. I've been known to buy a petit four ($1) on the way in. In addition to the aforementioned fruit tortes, paradise cake, and guava cake, there are a variety of cheesecakes and pastries available in the restaurant. We decided to share a slice of Coconut Haupia cake. Yum! Service It's good. Very good. The waiters and waitresses are incredibly attentive, and not only to their own tables. If any of the servers noticed that our drinks were empty, they asked if we wanted refills. The staff is polite, knowledgable, fast, and very professional. Taking The Sprogs King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant is not a kiddie restaurant like The Rainforest Cafe, but it's very kid-friendly. Kiddie portions are large, and run about $2.50 for breakfast, and $4.00 for dinner. There are teriyaki beef and chicken dishes for the kids, but if they're reluctant to try anything new, there are hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and hot dogs too. My daughter loves their peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is served on rainbow colored bread. Dinner at King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant is an amazing value. Two adults can stuff themselves silly for under $30, and the food is outstanding. I think I'll try the Hawaiian Orange Chicken tonight. ___________________________________ King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant 2808 W.

Tropic Hawaiian Tropic: Industry

Hawaiian Tropic Canada - About Our Company - Company Info Ron Rice and Hawaiian Tropic: The Early Days Ron Rice sold his first bottle of Hawaiian Tropic the same day America launched the first moon mission July 16, 1969. The first full trailer truckload of Hawaiian Tropic product left the plant in 1974. That same year, during the oil crisis, huge tanks were installed at the plant to hold 120,000 gallons of oil. Jump to: Industry Firsts | General Information Ron Rice and the creation of Hawaiian Tropic Hawaiian Tropic: Industry Firsts Hawaiian Tropic pioneered the use and popularity of Aloe Vera Gel (lauded as nature's greatest healer) in cosmetics. Prior to automation, Hawaiian Tropic Distributors would wait at the plant with blank checks made out to Ron ready to take as much product as he could possibly produce. Hawaiian Tropic was the first U.S. suncare company to: promote rich, natural ingredients for moisturizing the skin. use tropical coconut/banana fragrance in lotions and oils. place higher than a 15 SPF in the U.S. mass market. Top Hawaiian Tropic: General Information Tanning Research Labs, Inc. manufactures Hawaiian Tropic products at its plant in Ormond Beach, Florida. Hawaiian Tropic will celebrate its 36th anniversary in 2005. Hawaiian Tropic holds a dominant position in U.S. and Canadian markets. We rank #1 on the Caribbean, Mexican and South American beaches. Hawaiian Tropic is the only international suncare brand manufactured by a privately owned company which specializes in suncare. Hawaiian Tropic utilizes over 125 product formulations and over 400 different types of ingredients. Hawaiian Tropic neither conducts or contracts animal testing for its suncare products. Hawaiian Tropic employs more than 2,000 people worldwide. The Ormond Beach headquarters facility for Hawaiian Tropic covers more than 306,500 square feet. Top Ron Rice and the creation of Hawaiian Tropic Ron Rice is the epitome of the 'American Dream'. Born in the mountains of North Carolina and raised in a log cabin, Ron became an entrepreneur at an early age. By five, he was running his own roadside stand at the foot of his family-owned mountain. He sold apples, grapes, nuts, honey, apple cider, and wreaths at Christmas to help the family. His father instilled in him the basic American values that he lives by today--honesty, fairplay, tough competition, and plenty of hard work. A firm believer in education, Ron graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science Degree and set out on a career as a teacher. This enterprising young man would still be a chemistry teacher/football coach/part-time lifeguard today, if it had not been for a trip to Hawaii. While he was there, Ron saw women on the beach using natural oils to protect their skin. Having looked in vain all his life for a product that would shield his extremely fair skin from the sun, Ron was determined to create a product that would allow him and others to achieve a tan like the native Hawaiians. With $500.00 borrowed from his father, Ron set up business in his garage. He mixed coconut, avocado, kukui and other secret natural oils in a garbage can, bottled the formula and set out to sell it. "I had an old Ford Mustang convertible that the salt air had just eaten apart. I drove to pool decks and lifeguard stands and sold my original suntan product. I was obsessed," Rice says. The new product caught on immediately--no one had ever heard of a natural tanning formula before! When it came time to hire a staff and a sales force, Rice looked to his old teaching, lifeguard and football buddies. He sent this modified super sales team to various parts of the world and built Hawaiian Tropic into the second largest suncare company in the world, today grossing over $200 million a year. Ron shares his success with the love of his life, his daughter Sterling. When the two aren't traveling, they spend most of their time at their $5.5 million oceanfront estate in Daytona Beach--the city where Hawaiian Tropic originated. The palatial home took five years to build and sits just a few feet from where Ron's lifeguard tower once sat. In memory of his father, Ron had it built with North Carolina granite rock trucked down from the mountains to Florida. Ron continues to be the driving force behind the development, marketing, and promotion of new Hawaiian Tropic products. "Ron lives and breathes Hawaiian Tropic," says his director of advertising. "If he gets an idea at 4:00 a.m.--he will call you!" Rice also knows how to mix hard work with fun. He travels over 250 days a year to various celebrity/charity events, Grand Prix Races (where Hawaiian Tropic sponsors several cars), Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageants, The Cannes Film Festival, and many, many more places promoting Hawaiian Tropic . Amazingly, all the success and fame has not gone to Ron Rice's head. "My biggest peeve is people who become successful and forget their roots," he says. "The happiest day of my life was when I was able to pay my father back the $500.00 he loaned me and thank him for believing in me." The garbage can used to mix his first batch is now silverplated and stands in Ron's living room as a reminder of Hawaiian Tropic's early days, and Ron's tireless hard work and determination.
