Keneke's

Hey Everyone!!! It was a sad day =( My kuya left to go back to the mainland so what do I do when I am depressed? EAT!!! LOL. So my brother David, cousin Reyna and James and the kiddos decided to go to Kenekes which is in the waimanalo area. It's a drive for sure but since we had a short cut through Kaneohe it wasn't that bad. Our plans was to get our food at Kenekes and then eat at Sherwoods.



Keneke's is local plate lunch plate and very easy to find. It's that bright red and white building hehe. It's kinda of a tourist place to eat while driving around the island. I know that the owner is christian. In their seating area there is bible verses all over the wall. That's always a plus. To have great food with great people. And a small tid bit, they do cater for your party needs =) Well so for my lunch I had made a mix plate. I had 3 different choices which were teri hambuger steak, mochiko chicken, and lau lau!! Lord, I would do that drive ANYDAY!!! I was never disappointed and for $8.00 buckaroos for that amount of food and deeliciousness =) it's so worth it.

Look at all that goodness right there!! I was starving...Again, I am pregnant and was really hungry and even being that...I haven't even finished half! SO WASTE!!! =( 

So this is the breakdown of the food I chose for those who don't know what which is what. LOL.

The first picture is the 2 scoops rice, 1 scoop mac salad, the teri hamburger steak and mochiko chicken.

According to Keneke's Mochiko chicken is known as "sweet chicken".  It's a mixture of shoyu and sugar mariated chicken dipped in a special rice flour called mochiko and then deep fried. ONO!!! and the teri hamburger steak is self explanitory. It's a hamburger patty drenched in a sweet teri sauce. You can actually see the pool of teri sauce and I LOVE it.!!!!

The second picture is a picture of the lau lau. Laulau is a Hawaiian dish. Traditionally, it consisted of pork wrapped in Luau, or taro leaf. This is so yummers! Lord have mercy!!!

We ended the day playing in the sand watching the sun go down on the waimanalo side of Hawaii Nei. I love simple days like this but not the fact that my older bro had to go. Well hope you enjoyed this post...Check out Keneke's if you are on that side of the island or if you just want some ono kine grinds!!

Zippy's Restaurants

Next Stop...Zippy's. So if you are from Hawaii or visited or planning to visit Hawaii Zippy's is one place you MUST eat at. I love this place. Some Zippy's offer a full sit down restaurant and also a take out counter with seating. Zippy's is open 24hrs a day everyday. They also have a bakery for your dessert fixings.

Zippy's is know for a lot of different things. Some of their known hits are their chili. Ohhh, I love their chili. They got options of having it vegetarian style, no bean, and w/bean. They are also know for their fried chicken. Oh, hubby loves their chicken =)  Another known favorite is their portugues bean soup. To be honest, I haven't had it til we had dinner w/the cuzzos. It's really yummers!!! The list goes on and on!!! Their spaghetti, zip pac, breakfast...yadayadayada!!!!

It's kinda a tradition that when my brother is here visiting we go to Zippy's after church. My aunty and uncle decided not to join us so it was just the cousins <3 And when it's just us we go boooozhee lol and we eat in the sit down restaurant. That's an added $1 but it's okay. This is what I ordered....Chili Cheese Dog w/onions and cheese. YUMMMMMY!! It was their October special and it cost $5.69 plus tax.

It comes with 2 scoops rice (you can substitute it w/brown rice...but who wants too lol), 1 scoop of mac salad (you can substitute it w/vegetables and again who would do that lol) and the chili and hot dog. I added the cheese and onions for an extra cost. This is such a satisfing meal. You will definately be full after this meal. I don't even think I finished this. But one thing I can say bout this meal is I wish it came w/another hot dog. My son at most of my hotdog =( haha!

Zippy's is an all time favorite place to eat. When I was dating and us girls had a GUY PROBLEM no matter what time of the day...could be 9am or 2am we would always go to Zippy's and take bout our issues. Aww good times!!! Zippy's will never fail me =) Go check them out.

Bubbies Homemade Ice Cream and Desserts

Hey Everyone!!! I haven't been blogging since I left for Hawaii. Since I got some down time I wanted to share some places I ate here in Hawaii Nei!!! Omg, let me start by saying how I miss my local food. I had some of my favs and some new places.

This place that I am doing a review on is an OLD place. I remember going to Bubbies back when I was in 6th grade going to Lutheran School. But I guess they got a new thing called Mochi Ice Cream with a lot of different flavors. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but they are pretty good. Ill do a review on that some other time but my review today is on there MAYBE THE BAG BROKE!!!

OMG, it's a cheesecake flavor icecream on a gram cracker crust as if it was a cheesecake. And they ask if you want blueberries on top and I said YES YES YES!!! =)



This is pure heaven. Okay, I am a pregnant woman witha big appetite and I couldn't even finish it with my 2 kids who have the BIGGEST sweettooth ever. This was very delicious and worth every cent. I think it came out to 5 dollars and some cents. If you are in hawaii and in the unveristy area...Check out Bubbies Homemade Ice cream and Desserts. You will find something you like. 2 locations available and they are both in town.
