Aloha Misty!! What a great recap to 2023. Soooo many places and so little stomach space as always!! We have loved the 2023 foodie adventures you’ve taken us on and cannot wait to see what adventures are in store in 2024 both in Hawai’i and wherever!! Mahalo as always for showcasing all the local spots everywhere you go even outside of O’ahu. We hope you have a great start to the new year!! See you in 2024!!
The diversity, quality, and creativity of food in Hawaii is just unbelievable. Totally agree these mom and pop eateries work so hard so that we can indulge and experience life through food. Their sharing and labors of love, i swear, make it all the more ono 🙇♀️. Been watching this channel grow....LET'S GO 10k+ 💪! Many thanks for your content and dedication Misty, looking forward to what's in store for 2024 🤩!
Thanks for your support and always commenting nice thoughtful comments Ripley! I hope that the plans for this new year will entertain you. Sometimes I have a plan in my mind, but the videos don't come out the way I want and I find them boring LOL.
Mahalo Steve! I appreciate it so much but no need send me money. Just watching and spreading the word about my channel helps me out a lot. Thank you! 🙏
🤙🤙🤙🤙 Great 2023 review. Yi Xin Cafe is my #1 target when I get there in Oct , Mmmm which crab dish will be a difficult choice 🤔 By the way , hope the neighbourhood puts on a good display of fireworks 🎇 for New Year ! I’ve seen YT vids of this and it’s crazy good ! Hundreds of fireworks going off all over the district! Cheers Rod🤙
Awesome! I hope you and your wife enjoy! Yes every new year it goes crazy. They've been setting off fireworks since Thanksgiving though like every day and it does get a bit annoying after a while.
@@FoodFiend With New Years Eve tomorrow, I thought it'd be the perfect time to choose from one of your places BUT it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped! First, the place downtown is closed on the weekends! Ugh. Then I tried the place in Waipahu; closed! Then the place in Pearl City; closed! I finally decided on the Chinese place in Market City and thankfully they will be open tomorrow so I drove there and placed a party size order of the pork cheeks; looking forward to trying it 🙂
Really enjoyed watching to see what your faves were. Mahalo for making this video, Misty 🤙🏼🤙🏼. Have a Happy and safe New Year celebration!! Look forward to more videos in 2024!!! ❣️🤙🏼
Great videos! We just started watching your videos and we will be trying some of your recommendations. We will be in Honolulu for the month of February 2024. 🤙🥰
Thank you so much for watching my videos. I hope they help you choose some great places to eat. There's just so many places to choose from it's hard. Enjoy your upcoming vacation!
I still remember going to Arakawas when it was still open in the 80s when I used to visit my cousins in old EWA (Banana Camp) during the summers when it was still populated and not such the "ghost town" it is nowadays.
Aloha Misty: Happy New Year to you and Aiden! I like your 2023 review, which “highlights” your great finds! Now, I am looking forward to your 2024 finds! Hope you get visit Vegas which has a lot of “local-style” food offerings and a lot of Hawaii-related residents! Best wishes for the up-coming @Year of the Dragon!” Take care and happy dining! Much 🧧and 🤙, fellow 🐯!
Aloha Bill! Mahalo for your comments and Neverending support! I don't think I'd go to Vegas. I don't particularly like it. I got my fill in my early 20s and went many times. I don't gamble either. I never understood the idea of eating local food somewhere else. I like to travel to try foods I cannot get at home. Plus it's much better at home anyway 🤣 Happy New Year and many blessings to you and your ohana! 🤙🎆🎇
That’s a great list. The people who own Yi Xin Cafe and SingMaTei are absolutely amazing. I don’t know what they’re doing to make their food so good lol Happy anew Year 🎉
Fantastic list Misty. I love the diverse places you visit and the variety of foods and tastes of your reviews. Recently subscribed and look forward to more!
Congratulations on another wonderful year!! I finally ate at Carl OG3 the week before new years with my family…we all really liked it and I made sure to tell him we were there bc of your video/review!
Thanks so much Faye! I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed the food at Carl OG3! Thanks for telling him about going there because of my video. I really appreciate it!
Aloha Misty!! Oh if someone gave me a Christmas gift card for the Food Company.. I would be happy because there's so much desserts and lunches I wanna try there:) The Monarch Poke looks good and thanks for showing it. And I totally agree with you on Xi Yin Cafe. Every dish we tried was really good and the owner Sue and her husband are so nice!! And yes.. so much diff food from diff cultured to try. Thanks for bringing us along for another year! Wishing you another awesome year in 2024🤙😋 and Subscribe people if you havent already! 👍
Aloha Sean! Yes everything is so goof at the Food Company! Thank you and Nhi for your videos as well this past year! Such great adventures you have! Have a Happy 2024!
New viewer here. I think your choice of restaurants is nicely diverse and priced very affordably. I just cannot watch you because I find your repetitive hand gestures to be so redundantly distracting. It’s not a criticism, it’s my sensitivity to unnecessarily distracting behaviors. Otherwise I’d sub but I want to see the foods as you describe them so unfortunately I can’t listen without wanting to view. Sorry, as I said it’s my sensitivity, so my loss, but it’s something for you to think about.
