HIIIII I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
i would love to try romy’s bc i looove shrimp with rice!!
ive been waiting for your new upload im so excited thank you for sharing this to us mei meimei😊
@@darinkalxxb hiii thank you ily :) 💕
@@alyssa011 shrimp + rice = 🤌💕
meimei you are so adorbs! Thank you for the update. We used to take friends up to the North Shore to do the Shrimp Truck tours too. Now we just stay in town and go to the Giovanni’s at the HMart because it’s cleaner, has air conditioning, restrooms, and no flies and critters to swat away. You’ve given me a few reasons to resume the shrimp tours again ♥️
We used to like Giovanni's and Fumi's, but we agree, Jenny's Shrimp is the best nowadays! We went back to Jenny's Shrimp 3x on our last trip there! Also, Waiola Shave Ice is wayyy better than Matsumoto's.. No contest! Fumi's is good for the drive, but Jenny's is top for us now.
Waiola doesn’t pack their shave ice enough and it gets slushy too fast. I think the shave ice consistency of Shimazu’s next door to Rainbow Drive-in is much better. As an overall shave ice dessert, my favorite is the #2 at Coffee or Tea in the McCully Shopping Center - shave ice with coffee syrup, topped with coffee and tea jello, sweetened condensed milk, and then a scoop of Kona coffee ice cream, bordered with whipped cream 😋
Loving the Hawaii content, Meimei! So entertaining and the food always looks so delicious! ❤
yay i'm so glad!! I miss all the amazing food there already 🦐💕
Fumis is by far the best shrimp food truck in Oahu! I can’t not go there when I visit Oahu. And the Shrimp farms are right in the back of the place!
something to get me thru studying for my last final of the semester tmrw. so in love w ur content n personality
Did you graduate?
So nobody’s gonna mention the fact that a bird was bouncing happily next to Bird?! 🤔 🧐 if that wasn’t meant to be, idk what is…
Pro tip* if you don’t feel like driving far - Giovanni’s shrimp truck new location in Honolulu! 458 Keawe st. Floor 2 ! Inside a grocery store! You will never think it’s there.
Very convenient 10 -15 mins away fr Waikiki beach! . I got to be honest My all time favorite it’s FUMIS! never disappoints.
I loveee hawaii content, I’m always looking for food spots. Thank you for sharing ! -A
Giovanni’s in town is located in the upstairs food court of HMart. It’s air conditioned with clean table, chairs, and restrooms and best of all no flies and critters to swat. There is free one hour parking in the parking lot next door, too.
If you say Fumis is your favorite you've never been to Jenny's....
Oh my gosh Giovanni's!!! Every time I visit Oahu my family and I always go there. I love this Hawaii content, thank you so much! The food is making me hungry ehehehe
glad you're enjoying the hawaii videos!! thanks for watching :) 💕
@@feedmeimei
i love vlogmas so much!! also im studying for my sciene test tmrw so this video is perfect! thank you so much meimei!! :)
ooo good luck!!! sending you all the good vibes 🦐💕
Nice to see bird again in this oahu series. Never thought to eat shrimp with shells on. Nice video!
You need to go back and try Ted’s shrimp!!! That’s my favorite of all of them. You also get a slice of pie with your shrimp plate.
Ted’s put Parmesan cheese on their garlic shrimp … it’s fine if you like Parmesan but it was a bit strange for me 😉
Have you tried Aoki's shave ice? It's right across the street from Matsumotos and personally, another example of a place that's better than the most famous spot. I grew up eating Aoki's though so I might be biased
I think I’m the only one that never eaten shrimp with the shell 😅 I always peeled it lol
You’re definitely not alone…..lol I’m all the way with you. I’ve never eaten the shells and never will 😂
I thought this whole video was weird cuz it looked like she was eating with the shell on. WTH ?
This Hawaii content is giving me life 🙌
I love Fumi's. Definitely putting Jenny's on our list for next time.
Loving your food vlogs, great relaxing videos to watch as I am sick. The food always looks tasty!
The shrimp at Ted’s bakery is the best! You gotta try it next time. ❤
I remember when I first watched your video I am still happy and you put a smile on my face every day ❤❤❤❤❤
meimei i love your channel so freaking much! please do more boba vids!! :)
I'm definitely trying your top 3 when I get a chance. Great video
Wow it looks so gud! Thx for making me hungry 😅
Very informative vid!😍 Next time you're on Oahu, I highly recommend stopping by Aloha Shrimp in Hau'ula!
I know, Mike Chen/Strictly Dumpling ate there about 4-5 years ago !
Overlooked by many but pretty good. Jenny ‘s #1 but Aloha is right behind. Jenny’s has bad flies almost always but Aloha, never seen them. Perhaps being closer to ocean helps blow them away.
We were there last May. The line for Giov's was too long and so we crossed the street to get Jenny's and we were FLOORED at how good that was. We looked at the plates that Giovanni's was serving and felt like we made the right choice. The Spicy at Jenny's was the best shrimp I've ever had, hands down. One thing is that the quality of Shrimp at each of those trucks probably varies from day to day... Thanks for these vids!
the 5:42 crab 😂 I always love watching your videos! thank you for your content !!
i eat the shrimp tails if they’re fried really crispy they’re like chips ☺️
Hono's is definitely the most underrated shrimp truck here in Oahu
I agree with your Giovanni’s review ! I thought there was something wrong with me when I wasn’t crazy about it 😭😭😭
I think Giovanni's has too much hype. When we went, we got some of the favorite flavors and it was not all that. The shell was hard to chew through like you said. I love the hot and spicy pineapple shrimp from the Geste shrimp truck in Maui!
Giovanni’s is last on food trucks for shrimp dishes!!!!! 1993 is over lol
Just ate Fumi's last weekend. I got the spicy one and so good! I've been to famous kahuku shrimp before but would prefer Fumi's.
OMG I was so obsessed of eating shrimps and I love your videos❤️❤️❤️❤️
hahah yesss shrimp is sooo good!! thanks for always supporting :) 🦐💕
You missed out on teds bakery garlic shrimp. Their garlic shrimp plate is amazing!
I agree. I actually love Giovannis and Romys. But I never enjoyed peeling Shrimp. When I saw Ted's served already peeled Garlic Shrimp plate, I never went anywhere else. Just more convenient, less busy and you get a free slice of Ono pie with it. You can also order online for pickup to skip the line.🤙
Ack, 45 seconds in and I did a happy shake cause I love Hawaii content so much.
Yummy! Can’t wait to try them when I go 🤤🤤🤤
UR MAKING ME JEALOUS BC IM GOING TO HAWAII NEXT YEAR AND I WANT TO GO SOONER NOW😭😭💗💗
I eat the prawn tail EVERY. TIME. love the tail 😍
I remember when I went to Oahu there was a good shrimp truck in the diamond head park but idk if it's there anymore
Kahuku best place is the bbq spot in the back it was amazing we also enjoyed the pineapple banana drink next to Giovanni's shrimp truck in kahuku
This video got me on a watermelon sugar high! :)
In Oahu again! I luv your vids there absolutely amazing and ur boba's ugh I can't stop watching ur boba shorts! 😍 But I went to Matsumoto shave ice after school I order the exact same thing as u I realize LOL 😆. Also went to ted's bakery the pie was good 😋🥧 I order only strawberry guava pretty yummy 😋.
I can’t wait to try so many of the places you recommended I’m leaving next week :))
Final comment 😂 our favorite restaurants were Duke's and Likos!!! I'll be quiet now thanks 😂
Oh man, you gotta try the spicy shrimp at Ted's! You were even there. Its pure ono. I know it isn't a truck but their food is so good, not just the pies!
Thanks for the video. I’m excited to visit Hawaii and eat at Jenny’s and big wave shrimp
“It make me on a watermelon sugar high” HES GOT JOKES AHSAHAHAHAH
Thanks for sharing your amazing meals with us! You’re the best 💕💕💕💕
I tried Jenny’s for the first time last month and I fell in LOVE with the Spicy Garlic Shrimp! It’s one of the most flavor packed I’ve had! No lines too!!! Giovanni’s is good but just not the best 🤙🏻😃
This video is awesome! Definitely will use this as a reference when I plan to go to Hawaii :)
First!! Everything looked fantastic btw!
early squad!!!!! 🦐💕
Our faves fumis, Giovanni’s and the first one
I take the pointy part of the shrimp tail off, and eat the rest of the tail, especially if it's crispy.
Honos All The Way ! Born & Raised In Waialua/Haleiwa , Also Worked At Honos Before, Fresh, Quality, BOMB SHRIMP & KALBI 😋
Great video.
What the world needs now, is a world wide fiesta. It would all be at the same time. Of course, if it is early you would focus on breakfast of your country or state. So on and so on.
Tranquility I seek...
yummy shrimp, and in Hawaii🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
Craving shrimp now 🤤🤤🤤
I tried Jenny’s yesterday and I was underwhelmed by the flavor. Giovanni’s is still my favorite but I have not tried any other trucks but these two.
We just tried four trucks today and rated them as follows
1. Jenny’s
2. Big Wave (close second)
3. Hono’s
4. Giovanni’s
I’ve lived in Hawaii for pretty much my entire life and I’ve only tried Giovanni’s. Which I thought was okay. It’s awesome to see all the celebrities that signed the truck though. I love shrimp and prawns though it’s one of my favorite seafoods.

@@kejotaylor90 kjh
what celebrities? the customers?
@@hawaiiguy1 A lot of celebrities have eaten at Giovanni’s then they sign the truck. Mei Mei pointed out BTS for example, but there are a lot more that signed the truck.
Yayyy was so excited for this one, saving it to my travel playlist : ) 🍤 🏝️ ✈️
meimei i was wondering if your going to do merch?? btw i have the straw and boba guide and there amazing!! :)
aw so glad you like the straw + boba guide!! I actually was trying to release merch before Christmas but not sure if we can -- there's a lot of delays :(
@@feedmeimei whenever you do im so excited and def going to buy :)
Excuse my hot mess of a self during my cameo. 😂😂😂😂 My friend was taking a photo of me. 😅
We visited Dec 2023. We had Jenny's twice. It was excellent. Overall Flavor, shrimp texture. It was all worth it. We will try some others when we return next year. I was also surprised some folks eat the shell. 😮
I've never seen anyone eat the shell. That's wild
if it is crispy enough... i have seen some of my friends eat the shell, but most don't .. to each their own
I would never just because I'm allergic to shrimp unless it's for some reason Tiger prawn shrimp or raised in taiwan shrimp I seem to not be allergic to 🤷♀️
luv your vidddds
thank you so much!! appreciate you :) 💕
My mom is the only person I've known who will gladly eat a shrimp tail, so I'll submit her vote for Bird's poll. 💀 I'm glad you showed us how you eat them, b/c I've been wondering how people do it there!
Top 3- Big Wave, Honos, and Jenny’s!
Giovanni’s is overrated. Big wave is my fave, mainly because they serve already peeled shrimp so you don’t have to work to peel your shrimp 😅 but the shrimp and garlic is always so so good! Plus, it’s the first shrimp truck once you enter Haleiwa so you don’t have to drive too far for your shrimp lol
Honu’s all da way!!! Giovanni’s is overrated for sure! Great vlog.
I am literally going back to Hawaii just for Jenny’s shrimp 🍤
So cool I've so wanted to do this. Thanks
Wow Hawaii food truck man looks good
I’ve never eaten the shell of a shrimp and not sure I could stomach the thought of doing so
im from oahu...and everyone i know grew out of liking giovanis. gios is more of a tourist trap now. i go to 'famouse kahuku shrimp' truck. they get steak plates as welll
You should've had the shrimp at teds! One of my faves!
Jenny's is the best hands down. theres rumors that giovannis actually uses costco frozen shrimp instead fresh farmed shrimp.
Yup, heard that one as a rumor
I don’t believe any of the shrimp trucks strictly use the shrimp from the kahuku shrimp farms. The kahuku shrimp sold in markets are smaller, all have heads on them and I find the kahuku farmed shrimps have a muddy taste to them. Wild, ocean caught shrimp is still the best, non-Hawaiian farmed shrimp are bigger and plumper than the kahuku farmed shrimp, too.
Every thing looks sooooo good😋😋😀
Try Aloha Shrimp next time. 😊
YES! Aloha Shrimp Truck is my favorite. Spicy garlic shrimp.
Yay more Hawaii content!
so glad you're enjoying the hawaii videos :) thanks for watching!! 🦐💕
@@feedmeimei I love your videos! Glad you got to enjoy! 💕
Oh my gosh, we just went to Giovanni’s yesterday we were so excited! Only to rate it like a 2 lol. No taste. It gave nothing to me unfortunately !
But the McDonald’s across the street, yummy!!
i lived on Oahu from january - july of 2022 and YES the food is amazing there. aside from all the fast food!
I enjoy the shrimp tail 😍
you should try Shimazu for shaved ice!!! so good
Will try Jenny’s next time!
Great video as always. I eat shrimp tails.😂
l'm boba 💙💜💖 i love you 🤗 thank you
Hi mei mei I love your videos❤
aw thank you so much, appreciate you!!! :)💕
One more thing...the business on the corner of that lot is a free rest spot with AC restroom and iced water and lounge area they also sell oahu stickers and other such stuff and super nice people 👍
I agree, Giovanni’s is overrated. Aloha Shrimp was our least favorite. We usually go to Jenny’s but will have to try Big Wave and Honos next time! Great video!
Jenny's hands down!
Giovoni was ok. I've had it before so, I agree with your opinion on it.
Problem is the rice accompanying the shrimp needs to be rated too!
Have you tried Diamond Head General Store in San Bruno and their garlic shrimp?
This is Eleanor Shellstrop's favourite video
sometimes I´ll eat the tail if its in sushi like fried, or if its crispy enough to eat, so sometimes I´ll eat the tail not all the time.
I tried Jenny's shrimp and it wasn't my favorite, it lacked flavor. The best one I had was the garlic shrimp in koalua Ranch. I wish I could have it rn🥲
which building is the AirBNB in?
You should do trying every sushi Places in San Francisco
Not to mention the poor elderly ladys shrimp had no customers the whole time we tried Giovanni's the crepe place is really good macadamia and banana crepe you have to try😊
Who else returns from Hawaii RICED OUT😭. I can’t eat rice for about a month after 😂
