Hawaiian Barbecue

Marga's Foodblog: Restaurant Reviews + Wikiwiki Hawaiian -- Marga's Foodblog recipes - reviews - rants « Ono Hawaiian BBQ | Main | Got a lot of books » October 10, 2005 Restaurant Reviews + Wikiwiki Hawaiian Even though I've been eating out quite a bit lately, I've been very remiss about writing about the restaurants I've visited. Of course, you could argue that there is absolutely no reason why I should be writing about the restaurants in the first place, but as long as I do it, I figure I should be comprehensive. I'm particularly interested on being comprehensive about San Leandro restaurants, as there aren't really good resources out there on the San Leandro restaurant scene (and given how poor it is, no wonder). The problem comes when I go to a restaurant I don't particularly like and then I forget to write the review. After a while, i feel compell to go back and write it, and yet I don't want to go back and waste money in subpar food. But if I don't, my guide will never be comprehensive. This has happened with Buffet Fortuna - a horrible Chinese buffet located near the downtown Safeway, with Bancheros, an institution serving Chef-Boyardee tasting Italian food in Hayward and with a couple of burger joints. It also happened with Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ on East 14th, near Bayfair mall, which I visited last June. Wikiwiki is one of the many Hawaiian BBQ joints that have sprouted in San Leandro in the last year. As I've written before, I've found most of them to be underwhelming, and while Wikiwiki wasn't the worst, it certainly does not merit another visit. As in the other restaurants, I found the chicken to have a strange consistency, very dense, almost canned-like. I can only speculate as to what gives chicken that horrible consistency at Hawaiian BBQ places. One theory is that the high salt & sugar content of the marinade dries out the meat making it denser. Anothe perhaps more likely one, is that the places use "chicken filets", scraps of chicken that are manually pressed and glued together into the desired shape. The taste was OK, nothing special but certainly edible. I also ordered the lau lau pork, pork wrapped in taro leaves and steamed. The pork was covered with a shredded green substance that might have been the taro leaves, but more likely was seaweed. It certainly imparted a very fishy taste to the pork, which I found quite unpleasant, but others might like. I can't imagine going there again. Wikiwiki Hawaiian BBQ 15696 E 14th St San Leandro, CA (510) 276-0777 Posted by marga at October 10, 2005 08:28 AM| TrackBack Comments I have lived in southern california for quite a while and there are tons of L&Ls in my area. I visited Wikiwiki and thought that the food was same if not better than the other ones that i have eaten at. And about the Lau Lau, i believe that it consists of pork, butterfish, and taro leaves. I loved it, so i think that only local/or people who knows what it is able to judge and enjoy this hawaiian dish. Thanks..just my thoughts.

Hawaiian Wedding Song" --

HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONGS Wedding Songs Two songs are most-often played at weddings with a Hawai`i theme: "Hawaiian Wedding Song" -- which is more lovely when sung as its original Hawaiian composition, "Ke Kali Nei Au" . And you'll also hear the beautiful "Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae" ("Forevermore"), especially at weddings in Hawai`i. You'll find these songs on the following CDs. Click on "CLIP" to hear just the song -- or click on the album title to view entire playlist Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae ~ Forevermore ARTISTS ALBUM TITLE CLIPS BRIGHT, TERESA Painted Tradition BYRD, JERRY Byrd Of Paradise DILLINGHAM, PETER & FRIENDS Limited Edition Vol II HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song HAWAII CALLS Memories of Hawaii Calls - Vol 1 HO, DON Hawaiian Favorites KAALA BOYS Solid KALEIKINI, DANNY Hawaii's Ambassador of Aloha KANE, ELODIA He Leo Ohana NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Classic Collector Series NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Hawaii's Greatest Hits Vol II PAHINUI, GABBY Hawaiian Slack Key Vol 2 PAHINUI, GABBY The Best of Hawaiian Slack Key with Gabby Pahinui PAHINUI, MARTIN Martin Pahinui Hawaiian Wedding Song ~ Ke Kali Nei Au ARTIST ALBUM TITLE CLIPS AIKO, GARY Mai Poina Oe Iau AKAKA, ALAN & THE ISLANDERS Hawaii's Golden Treasures BYRD, JERRY Byrd Of Paradise DE MELLO, JACK Music of Hawaii DENNY, MARTIN Greatest Hits HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song (instrumental) HAWAII CALLS Hawaii's Greatest Hits Vol 1 HAWAII CALLS Memories of Hawaii Calls - Vol 1 HAWAII CALLS Music from the Land of Aloha HO, DON Gold HO, DON A Night in Hawai`i ISAACS, BARNEY & BILLY HEW LEN Steel Guitar Magic Hawaiian Style KAHAUANU LAKE TRIO The Best of Kahauanu Lake Trio Vol. I KALAPANA Full Moon Tonight KANE, RAY Wa`ahila KEAWE, JOHN Auhele KOHALA Island Treasures LEE, RILEY & PETERSON, JEFF Maui Morning LEED, MELVEEN Melveen's Hawaiian Country Hits LEONANI SERENADERS Hawaiian Hospitality MAKAHA SONS & FRIENDS Na Pua O Hawaii MAUNALUA Maunalua MERRILL, BUDDY Beyond the Reef MILLER, CHARLES SERENADERS The Heart of Hawaii NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Classic Collector Series PAHINUI, GABBY The Best of Hawaiian Slack Key with Gabby Pahinui PAVAO, DENNIS Sweet Leilani POOKELA Moonlight Melodies of Waikiki ROYAL HAWAIIAN BAND Live at Carnegie Hall VARIOUS A Musical Memento of the Islands VARIOUS Aloha Festivals Hawaiian Falsetto VARIOUS Dreams of Hawaii (instrumental) VARIOUS Dreams of Hawaii VARIOUS Hawaii's Sunset Melodies VARIOUS Lei of Stars VARIOUS Maui's Sunset Music VARIOUS Memories of Hawaii VARIOUS Romantic Songs of Hawaii VARIOUS Songs to Hula VARIOUS The Best of Hawaii's Melodies VEARY, EMMA The Best of Emma Veary ©2005 Hawaiian Music Island - MELE.COM -- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED All soundclips on MELE.COM are used with the express permission of the artists/record labels and may not be duplicated Site Map | Contact Us | Site Guide | Submit Halau | Submit Concert

Kauai HI

Discover Kauai - Official Tourism Site of the County of Kauai Home Mayor's Page FAQ Email Sitemap Kauai Visitors Bureau Information Hotline: 1-800-262-1400 Vacation Directory Activities & Recreation Sites & Attractions Parks & Beaches Local Culture Island Events Home : Activities & Recreation Explore by region: Other Kauai Websites: Kauai Beach Safety Guide www.kauaiexplorer.com FREE Kauai Vacation Planner www.kauaivisitorsbureau.com Kauai Calendar of Events 2005 www.kauaifestivals.com Kauai Government Information www.kauaigov.org The most difficult thing about a visit to Kauai - besides getting on the plane to return home - is knowing where to start once you get here. Opportunities for fun are virtually endless. So, what do you want to do first? You might start by checking out the various outdoor sports and other activities that are available on the island. Printer Friendly Version Golf • Horseback Riding • Fishing • Hiking • Windsurfing • Scuba Diving • Camping GOLF Photo by: Nick Galante Some of Hawaii's best golf -- and most challenging golf courses -- are found on Kauai. In addition to several outstanding resort courses, there are also some excellent public courses. What puts all these golf courses in a class above those you might play elsewhere, is their location. Most come with an inspiring ocean view or spectacular mountain backdrop. Click here for more golf info. Go to Golf Courses HORSEBACK RIDING Of all the ways to explore Kauai, from horseback must be among the best. There are scenic trails that follow along the coast. Trips up Hanalei Valley, a place that hasn't changed much in the past one thousand years. Other trails take you to Haupu Valley, along the beach and past the coves of Mahaulepu Beach, or down into Waimea Canyon, known as the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific.' Go to Stables FISHING Kauai is a popular spot for both freshwater and saltwater anglers. Large- and smallmouth bass are taken in Kauai's inland reservoirs. Marlin, ahi, ono, and aku are found in abundance off Kauai's south and east coasts. There also are special charters available that will carry you near the private island of Niihau for giant tuna and marlin. Go to Fishing HIKING Photo by: Kayak Kauai About 10 percent of Kauai is accessible by road. That's great news if you enjoy hiking, because it means there's a lot of island out there waiting to be explored on foot. Of course, before you set out you'll need to know where you're going. Write to the Hawaii Geographic Society, P.O. Box 1698, Honolulu, HI 96806, and ask for their information packet. A good book on the subject, Hawaiian Hiking Trails, by Craig Chisholm, offers trail descriptions by someone who has been there. You can also contact the Sierra Club, Kauai Group at http://www.hi.sierraclub.org/Kauai/kauai.html . Any of the above will prove helpful to your planning. Good maps are also necessary. The University of Hawaii Press Reference Map of Kauai is available from the Hawaii Geographic Society and at bookstores on Kauai. Maps may also be obtained from the State Division of Forestry, P.O. Box 1671, Lihue, Kauai, HI 96766. Three of Kauai's best trails: The Kukui Trail This 5-mile (round trip) trail drops 2,000 feet into spectacular Waimea Canyon, and offers the shortest route to the canyon floor. There's a large swimming hole at the bottom. The trail begins off the Iliau Loop Trail. The Kuilau Ridge Trail This 4.2-mile (round trip) hike offers dramatic views of small waterfalls and a wealth of flora. The trailhead is about a mile beyond the University of Hawaii Agricultural Experimental Station on Route 580. The Kalalau Trail This is the original Hawaiian trail into Kalalau Valley, and offers dramatic views of Na Pali Coast and Kee Beach. It begins at Kee Beach where Highway 56 ends. Two miles inland is Hanakapiai Falls, which cascades 300 feet to a pool below. The trail travels on to Kalalau Valley, and many hikers camp overnight at Hanakapiai and before continuing on the next day. The entire trip is best made by experienced hikers. Go to Land Activities WINDSURFING Anini Beach Park and Kalapaki Beach are both good places for windsurfing, especially Anini Beach because it said to have more consistent wind. On the south coast, Poipu Beach is also an excellent choice. For the more advanced, Haena Beach on the north shore is a great spot. Go to Water Activities SCUBA DIVING Photo by: Kayak Kauai The best diving on Kauai is found along the southern shore because waters are calmer. The water is clear, with visibility averaging about 50 feet, and sea life is abundant. Go to Water Activities CAMPING Photo by: Kayak Kauai Kauai's county and state parks are ideal for camping. Both require permits. Permits for camping at county parks are issued for seven days, and enable you to camp in one location for seven consecutive days - and a total of up to 60 days at all county parks. Permits cost $3 per person per night, with children under 18 free. State park permits are free, and allow camping for five consecutive days. It is suggested that permits for state and county parks be requested up to one year in advance of arrival, especially for popular areas such as the Na Pali coast and Kokee. For other areas, try approximately one month in advance for the winter and six months in advance for the summer. The State Division of Forestry also offers camping permits for sites in the forest reserves.
