Hawaiian food was all

Epinions.com - King's Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant Join Epinions | Help | Sign In Home > Restaurants & Gourmet > Restaurants > Los Angeles Ethnic Restaurants Read Advice Write an essay on this topic. 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.

Maui Windsurfing. If you're

The Maui Windsurfing DAILY Report r September 7th 1998 What Happened? I turn around, and a month has gone by with out a daily. Un believeable!!! Some of you die hards wrote and asked what the sheet wasup! It seems many of youactually read this junk. and believe it or not, it's important tome too. But I've been down for the count. I mean really down, my loyal,vicarious boardhead friends. Seems I sorta blewmy mind. Really, I came down with this strange malady and it wasn'tfor weeks that the docs came up with a diagnosis. Seems your reporterhad a major clinical depression. Hello?Can you say Hell?????!!!! Anyway, I seem to be gettingback to my usual (only semi) sane self. I gotta tell ya sports fans. It ain't no fun bein in that head space. Indeed, the kid ended upin our local nut hut for 5 days. And that's only when it was superknarly. The rest of the nightmare was without professional help. But you don't comehere to listen to this crap. You wanna know if there was any windand waves!!!!! I can't blame ya, shit, I'm sick of hearing aboutmy problems too. So, today, for thefirst time in a month, for the first time since I've been in the bottomlesspit, I went to Ho'okipa to check it out. and brah, I was notdisappointed. Fully logo high waves and a gusty but secure 5.0. Since I had lost 10 pounds and I think most of it was muscle tissue, Iwas in totally shit shape for the conditions. Nevertheless, I didpull of a few great wave rides as my friends saw that I was gonna be hardto kill. Even if the killer was me. I'm hoping you'll bearwith me as I make every effort to get back on the water and bring you,my friends, the best info about what is going on in Maui Windsurfing. If you're reading this,you're hard core. Know in your heart, I am too. Aloha Back toSeptember, 98

Hawaii honeymoon, coming in

Hawaii, Hawaii Vacation, Hawaii Map, Hawaii Honeymoon, Hawaii Hotels, Hawaii Cruise, Hawaii Travel Home > Destinations > North America > United States > Hawaii > Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii has long been a top choice of visitors seeking an idyllic island escape. You won't spend much time in any of the Hawaii hotels because you will be outside so much. The soothing beaches, fragrant forests, fiery sunsets, and the signature leis that are presented during a warm Hawaii welcome to a luau or as you begin a Hawaii cruise all combine to make your Hawaii travel experience everything you could hope for in an island trip. Hawaii is a general name for a chain of islands in the Pacific Ocean, each of which has its own name, including one island thousands of feet underwater, which is still in the process of being formed but that already has a name. Hawaii is considered part of the Pacific Rim and is generally known as being part of Polynesia, despite its distance from the South Pacific. For 30 years, a Hawaii vacation has been the choice of millions of travelers. An average year will see up to 6 million visitors. Despite this, there are tons of out of the way spots to wander through quiet forests or bike down ocean side cliffs. Hawaii travel for many begins on Oahu, home to Waikiki beach and the city of Honolulu. All year round the weather is warm and sunny, but most Hawaii travel takes place during the months of December to February, when visitors want to escape the cold weather where they live. If you want the islands to be the setting for your romantic Hawaii honeymoon, coming in the off-season will ensure off-season rates on Hawaii hotels and uncrowded beaches. Volcanic activity is responsible for the creation of the islands of Hawaii. 137 islands and islets make up the official count, although if one looks at a Hawaii map, they will only see 7 major islands. Most of the population of roughly 1,200,000 lives on these main islands. Hawaii travel is a big part of the economy, so everywhere you go, you will likely encounter the warm spirit of Aloha and the pride that fills the people whose ancestry is interwoven with these idyllic islands. Watch the forces in motion that were responsible for the creation and expansion of Hawaii. Kilauea , on the Big Island, is home to the world's most active volcano, and it just happens to be on the same islands as the world's largest volcano, Mauna Loa, which rises to almost 14,000 feet. Naturally areas like the wilderness these volcanoes are set in are protected and set aside as National Parks. You can find incredible natural wonders on every island, and the various activities such as ATV tours or scuba diving that allow you to experience the beauty of the islands from a different perspective on your Hawaii vacation. Most Hawaii hotels have concierges that can help you figure out what there is to do and see. If one looks at a Hawaii map , one will see the most of the major cities and roads are situated around the perimeter of the islands. This makes for great road trips and relative isolation when you choose to explore the interiors. Honolulu is the capital of the state of Hawaii as well as the largest city. This is a great place to come if you are looking to book activities such as a sunset dinner Hawaii cruise or the innumerable companies that can arrange a package Hawaii honeymoon, with a romantic barefoot ceremony on one of the scenic beaches. Aside from a romantic Hawaii honeymoon and an exciting Hawaii cruise that so many visitors come here for, you can get a taste of the culture by coming during September for Aloha week, where you can enjoy colorful parades and hear Hawaiian music, or you can visit during May for the popular lei day. For an exciting and unforgettable experience on your Hawaii vacation, drive on the new road that is west of Highway 130 on the Big Island. Make sure you wear shoes with good traction for the one-mile walk on the lava to see where the earth meets the sea in a fiery display of the volcanoes that are slowly but continually altering the Hawaii map. contact us | advertising with us | content licensing | privacy policy | terms of use | help (C) 2004 Destination360 All Rights Reserved Hawaii Map Select a region North America Central America South America Caribbean Hawaii Overview When to Go Events and Holidays Top 10 things to do Hawaiian History Interisland Flight Flights to Hawaii Hawaiian Islands Oahu Maui The Big Island Kauai Destinations Waikiki Hawaii Volcano Park Nai Pali Coast Waimea Canyon Pearl Harbor Hana Highway Hawaii Hotels Oahu Hotels Maui Hotels Big Island Hotels Kauai Hotels Travel Resources ATV Tours in Hawaii Hawaii Cruises Hawaiian Dinner Cruise Hawaiian Car Rental Hawaii Diving Golfing Helicopter Tour Luau Sailing Snorkeling Snuba Surfing Hawaii Weather Weddings Wedding Photographer
