Mana's Food Blog

  Waiahole Poi Factory is one of my favorite places to get Hawaiian food from. Their Kalua pig and Lau Lau plate is soooo delicious. I rate this place a 5 out of 5, it is so worth the drive (if you live in Hawaii Kai, it's about 50 minutes without traffic). I definitely recommend trying this place if you already haven't. It is a little pricey though. 

  Buffalo Wild Wings is a definite 5 out of 5 if you are looking for a place to have some wings and watch a game. The picture shows their traditional wings with their buffalo sauce and vegetables. I've eaten at Buffalo Wild Wings a couple times and always get my cravings satisfied. They offer a wide variety of sauces to choose from so if you don't like really spicy then you can choose a sauce that it mild or even sweet/tangy. I highly recommend. 

  If you are looking for a casual lunch with family or friends, California Pizza Kitchen has a variety of pizzas, pastas, and salads to choose from. If I'm in the mood for some pasta, the Chicken Piccata is my go-to. I rate CPK a 4 out of 5 depending on what location you are at. It is a little pricey and 75% of the time there is wait time. I do recommend this place for a casual lunch or last minute dinner, they also offer take out which seems like what most people do due to covid.

  Somisomi! I love this place for some soft serve in Ala Moana. Theres a few flavors to choose from and I love the taiyaki with the nutella filling but they have other choices of fillings as well. I rate this place a 4 out of 5 because it is a little messy, the soft serve starts to melt about a couple minutes after they give it to you. But nevertheless I enjoy this place and also recommend it to you guys. Its a great to go with friends and family!

  If you are looking for a place to have some refreshing dessert then Frostcity is the place to go. Its a mix of shave ice and ice cream, it basically melts in your mouth as soon as it touches your tongue. I love how they top it off with fresh fruits, mochi, fruit jelly, and popping boba. I give this place a 4 out of 5 just because it's a little pricey. I still suggest you check them out and show your support!

  This week's blog is all about dessert! If you're looking for a place to get some fancy and creative donuts, Purvé Donut Shop is where its at. They have 2 locations on O'ahu, Kakaako/Ala Moana area and Ku'ono Marketplace across of Kahala Mall. This place is definitely 5 out 5. I love the flavors that they make and they honestly have the best names for all of their donuts. I highly suggest this place if you haven't already tried it out yet!
