    I've gotta recommend "Times Supermarkets" for their daily plate lunches. Each Times location has a different daily menu selection (Mushroom Chicken, Beef Stew, Hamburger Steak, Fried Chicken Wings, Roast Beef, Steak, Hawaiian Plates, etc.) with various sides (Rice, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Veggies, Toss Salad, etc.) (choice of three!). Talk about "Cheap Eats", they have to be in the conversation, most plates run between $6.99 and $9.99... and includes a free drink! Trust me

    Shout out to St. Louis Drive In for not raising their prices during the pandemic. Their generous plate lunches and bentos are amazing.

    Aloha Amanda & Felix. It's amazing how inexpensive these dishes are and how much food they give you. I got a kick out of the first part of this video with Amanda's hair short and both eating the food in the car. Mahalo for showing all of these great places in top 10 form. I'm going to look into the sponsor's product, it sounds like a great thing to have on hand for hydration.

    Hi guys, I just watched Felix‘s birthday dinner. What happened to your left arm?
    It’s good to see you eat at a fine dining restaurant, not just plate lunches and take out.
    I must say I have been eating escargot for years, but I am still a newbie at it. I had no idea that you were supposed to top it with a piece of bread , Wait for the bread to soak up the garlic and butter. Then use the seafood fork and pop it in your mouth.
    You learn something new every day.😮

That is almost as valuable a tip as the foodie places to try.

  • @Erhnam_Djinn
    @Erhnam_Djinn 2 роки тому +5

    Hi guys! I just wanted to suggest some places for you guys to visit and feature:
    Cheap Eats:
    Fort Street Cafe- located in the heart of downtown, they are famous for their garlic chicken; they have an extensive menu, offering many Thai, Vietnamese, and local foods; food is high quality, but prices lower than the average restaurant
    $$ Eats:
    The Pig and the Lady- I've always heard a lot about them, but haven't been there myself yet, so it would be nice to see your informational video on them
    Teddy's Bigger Burgers- I'd love to know your favorite orders and/or go-to combinations there
    Aloha Cones- attention to detail sets them apart for me. Their poke bowls don't just have fish and rice, but also pickled ginger, imitation crab salad, edamame, cucumbers, and more, with beautiful presentation and freshness. They also offer beautiful sushi cakes, but I've never tried one.
    Shaloha Pita- one of the few street-food style Israeli restaurants in the state, the owner is a gruff middle-aged guy from Israel. I recommend the Shaloha Plate for anyone who hasn't been there before, in order to try a wide variety of their items.
    Supermarkets:
    Another idea that I had was for you guys to do a local supermarkets video. I love learning new hacks or insider tips about institutions that have been around for a long time, especially about plate lunches, poke, and specialty items. I bet there are hidden gem items and hacks that even long-time locals don't know about.
    Thanks for reading!

    Hi Amanda and Felix, I just watched your roast duck kitchen & Jian Bing video. I love Chinese barbecue, but I’ve never had aJian Bing. Looks awesome. I must try it one day.
    I am curious as to what kind of Asian you both are? Amanda did elude ti her ethnic background in the video. As a fifth generation Asian living in America, Japanese mom and Chinese dad. I am Japanese Canadian, myself.
    Do you guys hate it when people try and guess what kind of Asian you are. I know that bugs me. I would prefer someone ask me what kind of Asian I am instead of trying to guess. Most people never say Japanese. I always get Chinese or Korean, even Chinese people think I am Chinese.
    Maybe in a future video, you guys can come to Toronto Canada. That’s where I live. Toronto is the melting pot of Canada. There are so many different cultures living here and so much food to experience. Everything from Ethiopian to Brazilian to Korean and everything in between.

    As TRUE locals, You both should endorse more LOCAL spots rather than cheaper spots that’s been recently been open for the past year or 2, claiming they are local. Local means, born and raised in Hawaii. Not, born in mainland (my parents lived in Hawaii since 80’) moved here 3 years ago and now I’m local… really?!

    • @AmandaFelixEats
      @AmandaFelixEats  2 роки тому +1

      We've featured over 100+ videos covering all sorts of establishments in Hawaii. Most are local, some may not be. There are "local" businesses out there that want to remain that way and prefer to be private. We are not in the business of disregarding these businesses' wishes. We are also not a channel that will debate on what a local and transplant local is. Mahalo for stopping by 🤙
