New Year's Day tour of the Hawaiian Islands, eating, drinking and fun is very good
Hawaii Must-Eat Food Series - A Different Culinary Adventure Every Day‼️
🌴 1. Honululu Skewer House
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This little gem, still young in years, is a grill haven. The freshness of the ingredients, the soul-satisfying marinade - Oh, darling! Show up at their doorstep at 5 PM sharp, and they may pamper you with a limited daily treat - sweet fruit candy. Ready for a cheeky sneak peek into the kitchen? 😉
☕ 2. Island Vintage Coffee
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hawaii's heartthrob for a brunch delight, it doesn't get truer than this! Two dining sides are a sophistication, but I say pick the bar side to avoid that oh-so-long queue. They've got the "locomoco", a flavourful delight of the islands, like a lullaby to your taste buds. That silky papaya! Mmm...Go on, indulge! 😋
🍲 3. Chiriki-Japanese Nabe
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
An exquisite set-menu style place where quantity meets quality, and all for just around $30! Their broth, my sweet, is a richness that takes time to pour. Patience, darlings, good things come to those who wait.🍵
🍜 4. Ramen Nakamura
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nestled in Waikiki, it's a tiny but mighty ramen house. The wait might tease you a bit, but the spice-packed Oxtail and Kimchi ramen will make up for it - Oh, the suspense, the surprise, the satisfaction!
🍛 5. Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Got-to-have Tonkatsu, truly done in the traditional style. But don't forget to reserve a spot! The hotter the better, isn't it?
🍥 6. Tsuru Ton Tan
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Craving Udon? Forego Marugame Seimen and try out this local recommendation in Waikiki. There might be a lineup but just like a thrilling novel, it moves along swiftly. The noodles are a generous serving and authentically delicious. Mmm, let's slurp! 😏
🍗 7. Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Old-school open-air chicken barbecue that can lure you from afar. And oh, the tenderness! But a little birdie told me it could be too salty for some. So, shall we embark on this savory journey together? 🍗
🍓 8. Hale'iwa Bowls
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Living up to their reputation, these Acai bowls are as popular and refreshing as a sea breeze on a hot Hawaiian day. Fresh fruits, a smoothie so gentle, just the right amount of sweetness. Cue heart-eyes 😍
🍷 9. Hy's Steak House
Recommendation Level: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ancient charm and European flair intersect at this fine dining establishment. Gentlemen, collar shirts and slightly formal pants are your dress code, no toe-showing shoes. Ladies, we go elegant. Let's raise the bar of fashion a notch, shall we? 😉🍸
