We’re starting to make some advance reservations for dinners in Hawaii. Here’s what’s on tap:
– Alan Wong’s – a gourmet splurge in Honolulu and favorite of our foodie first family in the White House
– Merriman’s – in Waimea on the Big Island
– Kilauea Lodge in Volcano, Hawaii (Big Island – we’re also staying at the lodge.)
Also on our list but no reservations:
In Honolulu:
Duke’s
Helena’s Hawaiian Food (on School Steet and Houghtailing.) Very crowded and only open Tues-Friday from 10-7.
MALASADAS AT LEONARD’S Bakery (malasadas are a portugese doughnut-like pastry)
JIMBO’S (1936 S King St Ste 103 Honolulu) – HOME-MADE SOBA NOODLES AND MOCHI; HOLE IN THE WALL BUT “ONO” (delicious)
ZIPPY’S – (for “PLATE LUNCH”) – is a fast food/diner type of place that’s been around for ages – multiple locations. (Also heard about Rainbow drive-in for plate lunch; another alleged Obama favorite.)
