@Deminimis2 lol no I don't really have a big appetite but I do love to eat. I eat maybe half and save the rest for another meal. Thanks for watching! 😊🤙
Oooooh what a variety of eats!!😋Everything looked delicious and we were glad to hear overall it tasted delicious with the exception of the okra. We’re not okra fans so that’s not a loss for us. For everything you get and the quality of the food, the prices seem fair. We love cheesecake, andagi, and mochi so it was nice you were able to fit in some sweets to round off the savory eats. First time we tried it was at Tanioka’s and it was good!! 😋Sounded the chicken/rooster wanted to be a part of the video!! 🤣 That pork tonkatsu was massive and a steal!! As always mahalo for the fun foodie adventure!! 🤙🏽🙌🏽👍🏽
The chicken was mad I was eating its cousin lol. I thought I picked a quiet spot until this guy started to feed the birds near me. 🤦🏻♀️ I think you guys would definitely love the cheesecake, andagi and fried mochi balls! 😋 Mahalo for your support Michelle and Jose! 🤙
Another great review! I am a huge fan since finding your channel about a month ago. You deserve more followers if that's your thing. Your tours and reviews are very fair and consistent. Love the way you describe every experience. As always, thank you for sharing!
Aw thank you so much for the compliment! I'm more of a go with the flow person so I don't expect to be a big channel. I do it because it's a hobby but when it starts to get not so fun I'll probably stop. But I appreciate your comments and that you watch my channel.
@@FoodFiend I think it's the holidays. Making me a little homesick I guess. Been about twenty years already, but videos like yours remind me how much I took little things for granted back home. Excuse my responses if they seem a little exaggerated. Just grateful for your shares.
@@dk-oi2iu oh no! it is natural to feel that way during the holidays and no I don't think your responses are exaggerated at all. I am grateful that you enjoy my content.
Those bentos look delicious! I've been in Rhode Island the past two weeks and have been missing Hawaiian dishes. However, the seafood here is amazing. Thank you for another ono-licious video.
Mahalo Alan! Yes RI has amazing seafood! Hope you got to get some chowder and fried clams. You're not very far from where I went to college. That supermarket I went to for malasadas is literally on the state line
Mahalo for your videos! I’ve been hooked watching for the last two weeks 😂😂 We are from Maui and we are always looking for new places to eat instead of the same places we tend to go to. Can’t wait to get out and try some of your suggestions 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Aw mahalo so much for watching! I hope you find something you all like. If it makes it easier I have folders in my Playlist labeled for each side of the island. 🤙😊
I last had a bento at Times supermarket in Mililani. It had been a while since I even had one. Was good, but not like any of those you had. That shrimp musubi looked ono too. I have never had one before. Mahalo for the bento tour. That was fun. Chickens and all 😄🤙🏼
i love teruyas i always get the veggie bento very tasty bentos n side dishes okata bento been there for a long time linden cooks every order fresh i like his charsiu chicken i always in kaimuki on the days higoto is closed
Teruya's is great! I remember reading in the news McKinley students would visit the place to patron and support it during covid 👍. Will pass on Obento Rinka with my folks who like traditional japanese food. Kalapna-Metallica font shirt is awesome 🤘⚡️!
Aloha Misty I hope you're doing well. Ive never had Bento boxes, those all look amazing! I love how neatly packaged they re as they look so fresh and delicious. I'm very intrigued about Andagi, those look yum.
Aloha AussieAngie! I am doing great and I hope you are too. I think you'd love the andagi. It's like a fried donut. Looks plain but there's lots of sugar in the batter so it's sweet and yummy!
U know I love my bentos! I think my top is still sugois then maybe benico, ukitchen n miyakonjo then u get into the nippon n mameya n even foodland tic tac toe ones yum
I still gotta go to UKitchen and Nippon. I'm always across the street from Nippon, but never end up going. It's nice seeing you around YT again. Take care.
Wow Misty foods looks delicious and affordable thank you for your video cannot wait to be in Honolulu to tryout all the foods. Peace have a great weekend.
Misty thank you for sharing ! It's nice to see there are quite a few Bento shops back home ! The foods look so tasty ! Brings me back to the good old days ! Love undagi ! So generous amount of Tonkatsu ! yummy !!! Have a great weekend !
Aloha Misty: Thank you for this great blog of bentos! I enjoyed each segment of the “deliciousness” of each. That pork katsu must have been made with a large slice of pork loin and it looked “yummy,” and filling - protein-packed! I look forward to the next blog from my fellow 🐯! Best wishes and much 🧧, to you and your son! 🤙
Thanks for the suggestions! I was told that andagi has basically the same ingredients as malasadas except that malasadas has yeast. One day I was taking my mom to the doctor and while we were waiting we were talking to this Portuguese lady and she told me that the Portuguese gave the Okinawans the recipe and that they left out the yeast. I told her that actually the Portuguese sailors stole a batch of andagi batter and were trying to bring it back with them and that the yeast had fallen in and contaminated the batter. She got all mad at me and I just laughed. We both ended up having a good laugh as she called me a trouble maker.
Lol troublemaker. I went to Portugal and they said they also gave the recipe for tempura because they batter their veggies (especially green beans). But the Japanese made the batter more light and crunchy. They also gave the egg custard tarts to Hong Kong/Macau as they sailed everywhere. Very interesting
On another note, the Germans have a malasada like pastry but with fruit in it that is delicious. We have this German couple bring some at a gathering we attended awhile back.@@FoodFiend
Thanks Misty for trying out these bento places! I love the grab and go bentos so you donʻt have to wait for your order to be cooked and put together! I have to check out Obento Rinka and Higoto Japanese Eatery! Funny these are all places in my neighborhood and I didnʻt know about them. Thatʻs why you foodies are awesome!!! Aloha 🤙😁
The spinach or greens and okra are seasoned with a sauce called goma ae.. it has muddled sesame seeds, sugar, and shoyu. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the greens could be shungiku, but I could be wrong
4 next bento bonus blog: ...Papa's Deli/"Bento to Go" ...Airport Commercial Ctr. (across from old Christine's Diner) - most of the kitchen crew is the same, so the huge menu, & cheap prices, & open @ 4:30 am are 👍✌️🤙
hi missy another nice video. been following u long time now and saw all your videos. only commented once before but enjoy your videos. just wanted to say hi since i met u on monday walking ala moana blvd. thanks for taking the time to chat me. wanted to chat more but i didnt want to keep u too long. i know your busy. thanks
Mahalo Alvin! It was great meeting you and talking story the other day. I would've chatted more as well but it was an odd circumstance that occurred. 😅 I hope you have a great week and take care! Keep up walking 🚶♂️that's admirable and stay healthy!
The purpose of konyakku is to help clean out the gut. I don't care for the taste either, but my mom explained that if your gut or digestive system is sluggish, it expands and absorbs oiliness in the gut. It's used for dieting too.
Interesting. I knew it was the zero calorie noodle as I ate konyakku noodles when I did keto. I can't stand the smell no matter how much times I rinsed it.
Von's Chicken is my go to. I just like the regular crispy fried and crispy shoyu. Not a fan of the white stuff they sprinkle on top for one of the options as I thought it was too salty. Also they have numerous locations in town so that's a plus. There's also Itchy Butt. It's good, but you might want to call ahead as they make it to order and it take 20 mins to fry. Also parking is kind of a hassle. I think everything here is expensive, so I don't think it's super cheap but it isn't super expensive either. You can look these up on Yelp or Google Reviews to see the pictures.
The intro really set off one of the best vlogs. Slightly hungry to seriously driving myself to a fusion food spot for a decent box......it was not as good as yours😢😢😢😢😢
A lot of good choices here. I used to put Kay's Bentoya on top but when they stopped making the corned beef hash it wasn't the same. The tofu there is still my fave but you gotta grab them early so the chicken is fresh.
Yes Kay's bentoya is great. Too bad they got rid of the shrimp toom featured that in one of my nostogic eats videos. But still a great hole in the wall. I still have to edit my Italian restaurant video where I saw you at! 🤣
Damn Misty, every time I try to go to Teruyas, they are closed. Still looks good, but that 1st bento looks so ono. Now I wanna go there. I am going to try it for sure. I love the side on your last one and I too don't like that gel thing. That kinda look like nishime with the lotus root. Yum
@@FoodFiend In the end it took 3 days to get back home walked in the door an hour ago. My flights turned out to be a real mess. I am Shattered. I hope you are well
Wow. You can eat. I just ate and I am hungry again. I want bento.

Hi Ken! Yes pretty huge. St Louis Drive In Japanese plate is winnahs! I did a video on it a long time ago. Mahalo for watching!
Great review, my favorite food- bento boxes. Love the last restaurant-great pork chop.
Mahalo Larry! 🤙
Obento Rinka looks like something straight out of Tokyo! Will go try it out tomorrow. TY.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy whatever bento you pick! 🤙

Yes they're no too sweet so I like those desserts 🍮🍩

I saw a Bento place on Waialae Times Super Market area. (Japanese) if you want to check it out. Had a small line. Maybe 3 at a time inside?
That's covered in this video. Mahalo Sam.
The purpose of konyakku is to help clean out the gut. I don't care for the taste either, but my mom explained that if your gut or digestive system is sluggish, it expands and absorbs oiliness in the gut. It's used for dieting too.
Interesting. I knew it was the zero calorie noodle as I ate konyakku noodles when I did keto. I can't stand the smell no matter how much times I rinsed it.
First two bentos are too authentic for me.😂…Now the Teruyas one looks good👍🏽…Higoto Tonkatsu bento is more up my alley😆…Andagi👍🏽
Whaaaat? 🤣 You no like fish? Yes the tonkatsu one was massive 💪
We are in Honolulu this week , where is a good local spot for Korean Fried chicken that’s priced good too ?
Von's Chicken is my go to. I just like the regular crispy fried and crispy shoyu. Not a fan of the white stuff they sprinkle on top for one of the options as I thought it was too salty. Also they have numerous locations in town so that's a plus. There's also Itchy Butt. It's good, but you might want to call ahead as they make it to order and it take 20 mins to fry.

Hi Misty!!!
Hi Noel! Thanks for recommending Obento Rinka!
A lot of good choices here. I used to put Kay's Bentoya on top but when they stopped making the corned beef hash it wasn't the same. The tofu there is still my fave but you gotta grab them early so the chicken is fresh.
Yes Kay's bentoya is great. Too bad they got rid of the shrimp toom featured that in one of my nostogic eats videos. But still a great hole in the wall. I still have to edit my Italian restaurant video where I saw you at! 🤣
I need to go to Hawaii now
Yes my brother!
Damn Misty, every time I try to go to Teruyas, they are closed. Still looks good, but that 1st bento looks so ono. Now I wanna go there. I am going to try it for sure. I love the side on your last one and I too don't like that gel thing. That kinda look like nishime with the lotus root. Yum
