A "Diamond" Head and a "Pearl" Harbor. A luau poi bowl and the NFL Pro Bowl. Five-star restaurants and a million-star skyline. Kitsch and Cartier. Big waves and "Tiny Bubbles." Its all on Oahu, "The Gathering Place." Oahu is the third largest island in the Hawaiian chain, encompassing 597 square miles. This is, by far, Hawaiis most populous island, with more than 875,000 people (75 percent) of the states total population calling Oahu home. For most visitors, Waikiki , with its world-famous beach and stunning Diamond Head Crater , is the center of the action. Within its 1.5-square-mile boundaries is the glittering playground of the Pacific, where more than three-fourths of Hawaiis seven million annual visitors come to relax and frolic. Although it has its share of tourist traps, Waikiki also has an expansive park, a popular hike, fabulous restaurants and nightlife, and even a large zoo and aquarium. Still, many kamaaina (natives) will tell you that your Oahu adventure really begins once you venture outside Waikiki. Honolulu ("sheltered bay"), Hawaiis capital and largest city, is where youll find the states principal port, major airport, and business and financial center. From herbal remedies in Chinatown and historical artifacts at the Bishop Museum to paying homage to our war heroes at the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial , there is much to do and see in Honolulu . For a taste of Oahu at its rugged best, head to the North Shore , a 20-mile stretch of coastline from Kaena Point to Turtle Bay. Stroll through the funky town of Haleiwa and its colorful assortment of surf shops, boutiques, art galleries and eateries. A favorite stop here is Matsumotos Shave Ice, a venerable landmark that serves the icy treat in a glorious rainbow of flavors. Each winter, the North Shore becomes the center of the surfing universe, with up to 25-foot waves challenging the sports best and bravest. Heading east, pristine Hanauma Bay remains one of the states most popular and widely photographed attractions. And just minutes away are other perennial favorites such as Sandy Beach , the Blow Hole and Sea Life Park . Weve just scratched the surface here. Theres also great golf, tons of shopping and a full menu of festivals and top-notch entertainment. Its all here, again, in "The Gathering Place."

Hawaiian Barbecue posted by

la.foodblogging » L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Want to write your own reviews, discuss food topics and join our community? check out the foodblogging forums . L&L Hawaiian Barbecue posted by Jonah on 11.28.05 Categories: Lunch , South Bay I tried a new spot for lunch today, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in El Segundo. I hadn’t tried L&L before, but I do like Ono Hawaiian BBQ and figured that it was worth a shot. L&L serves standard plate lunches, meat, rice and macaroni salad. I was having a bit of a hard time deciding on what to get, I usually just go for the BBQ chicken plate at Ono, but there were some other appetizing options with the short ribs and even some of the pork dishes looking tasty. Fortunately, a friend walked in while I was still deliberating and let me know that L&L is known for their Chicken Katsu. Chicken Katsu it is then. The El Segundo L&L doesn’t have much seating, just a bar against the wall and then a waiting area with a large counter. I grabbed a bar stool and waited for my fried chicken goodness while listening to the Hawaiian tunes blaring from the speakers. It did take a little while for my order, but I was ok with it when I figured out that my chicken had been fried to order. The chicken was cooked really well and sliced into traditional strips, I opted to pick them up and dip them in the Katsu sauce instead of pouring the sauce on top. The sauce was good, but not great, a bit light on flavor. Next time I will give the Katsu Curry a try and see if there is more of zing to it. The portion size was HUGE. I opted for the regular order instead of the mini order, but next time I’m sure that I will go for the smaller size. I could barely finish half of my plate and I’m not one to save fried chicken. BBQ chicken yes, but not the fried stuff, it gets too soggy after a few hours. Back to the chicken though, I was really impressed with how well it was cooked. The cutlet was pounded flat and lightly breaded with panko. It was cooked all the way through, but still very juicy. I have had much lower quality fried chicken (picatta, parmesean, etc) for three or even four times the price. L&L’s menu claims that they were awarded Hawaii’s Best Chicken Katsu and I’m inclined to believe them. One thing I try to evaluate when eating around LAX is if the place would be good for airplane food. With the sorry state of airplane food these days, bringing your own has become essential. I wouldn’t recommend the Katsu to go, but I imagine that the Musubi would be a good snak for the flight. Finger food with some carbs and protein to carry you over. There are L&L franchises spread out all over Southern California, you can find your local one here: L&L Locations It’s not gourmet, but it’s not supposed to be. Hawaiian plate lunches are the working man’s meal and this working man left there stuffed without much of a dent in my wallet. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue 954 N. Main Street El Segundo, Ca 90245 (310) 414-9523 If you like this post, make it del.icio.us furl , spurl , blinklist , simpy -- 6 comments so far Yeah, L&L’s are popping up all over the place now. From what I’ve seen, each one has a slightly different menu. The other thing is…you can get much better “local” food (that’s how people from Hawaii refer to their local cuisine) at places like Shaka’s on Garfield near I-10 in Monterey Park, Aloha Kitchen on Atlantic Bl. in Monterey Park, The Loft in Gardena, Kings Hawaiian (both the restaurant on Sepulveda and the take-out place on Western). IMHO, Ono Hawaiian Barbeque is horrible. Their kalua pork is way too salty and has no smoke flavor at all. All the other dishes I’ve tried there are definitely sub-par as well. Shaka’s is the one I go to the most. They even bring in their lau-lau daily from Hawaii. And they authentic Hawaiian Shave (not shaved) ice…with Azuki beans, too (the whole beans not the sweet red bean paste [kintoki} that they used to have). By G. Matsuda on 11.28.05 5:23 pm I have heard that the Loft is the place to go, I’ll have to shoot over there and give it a try. I have heard pretty mixed things about King’s though. Here’s a mixed review from Rate A Restaurant By Jonah on 11.28.05 5:27 pm Kings isn’t the best, but it’s definitely better than Ono Hawaiian Barbeque, and some of the L&L outlets. By G. Matsuda on 11.28.05 8:26 pm I like L&L’s chicken teri plate. King’s is good for desserts… chocolate dobash and hawaiian paradise cakes. Haven’t been to Bruddah’s in a long time, but used to go there for some good kalua pork and lau lau. I wonder if it’s still good…. heard it’s gone down hill over the past few years. By Kristy on 11.28.05 10:02 pm Jonah, i think the reason why these meals were made so big in hawaii was b/c of the working class. When the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Hawaiians worked on the sugar plantations, they’d congregate at night markets and trade their own food. Koreans introduced kalbi ribs. Japanese brought chicken katsu. etc. They’d bring their food for lunch, and save the rest for dinner. By Dylan on 11.29.05 1:48 am There’s no question about the effect of the plantation economy had on how the workers prepared their food/ate. It happened in the sugar cane and pineapple industries in Hawaii. By G.Matsuda on 11.29.05 12:32 pm RSS feed for comments on this post.
