It may be called look funn in Hawaii but the correct name is sah hor funn or hor funn - this is also what it’s called on the mainland, too. This style of fat rice noodles originated in Sah Hor city in China, hence the name. You can also order this look funn without the soup topped with the beef brisket (gnau nahm) and veggies or plain as cheung funn to mix with hoisin and hot sauce at Lam’s Kitchen too. In dim sum, cheung funn is used to wrap cha siu, beef, or shrimp. In Chinese, “Chow” means to stir fry; “Look” means to scald/parboil/blanch with liquid. We usually park on Vineyard, next to the Foster Botanical Garden … plenty of free parking along that strip and only a couple of blocks walk to Chinatown. Blessings!
So many things we didn't know! mahalo for the explanation🤙🏼
Ryte-on good video Felix you so off. 🤣🤣 Is somebody dead? Couldn't stop laughing all way👍👍
I love watching Felix’s natural laughter. Keep the outtakes coming.👍
Awww mahalo for the kindness 🤙🏻
Those noodles look Ono. Won tons on the side is a nice touch. Those drinks look so refreshing too
Those won tons and noodles were so bomb🙌🏼😋
I ❤ to eat at Lam's, my favorite place to eat in Chinatown. I'm so glad you show cased all their yummy dishes. Mahalo
Ah many thanks you guys. I love a good beef chow funn so a place that makes noodles in house & uses good beef I got to hit it up
Simple and delicious! 👌
Born and raised here and never been there nor heard of Lams. on the do try list. Thanks guys
Try it out and let us know! So ono and decently priced🤙🏻
You guys got your inner noodle on! Good stuff much fun. Take care my favorite foodies! Much love and aloha 😎🤙🏾
Mahalo Michael! 🤙
I tried the beef and tendon noodle soup with wonton on the side and haven't ordered anything else since! Will definitely have to try the chow fun next! You guys make it look so appetizing!
Yes! Definitely try the chow fun!
Aloha you two ! So good to see you guys sharing onolicious foods ! Enjoy your new home ! God bless you both ! I love homemade noodles...talk about authentic ..the real deal !Felix you got me laughing ...yummy goodness refreshing drinks ! Mahalo !
Mahalo for the aloha in the comment section every video and the congratulatory wishes💞
Everything looked so delicious 😋. Beef chow fun just makes me almost 🤤 drool. Wish we had a place close by to get that kind of food. Great video ❤️🐾🌟Hug Baby Lucy ❤️
Hahahaha🎶🎵haha haha how you know Filex I was laughing at You hahahahaha🎵🎶LOVE You guys your so FUNNY You FUNNY Filex🤗😙⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💜💙
Dang yall that food loos great I need it in my life Thanks yall see ya in the next one
Mahalo for watching Terry Elliott! 🤙🏼
I’m surrounded with these kind of Chinese food here in LA, but this place Won Ton and Beef Chow Fun look really good. The “straw poking” segment was adorably funny.🤣. Thanks Amanda&Felix😘😘
We need to try Chinese food from the states! 😭 complicated lids!
Fresh noodles ! Chow fun looked amazing! Dumplings looked good! Ok, it all looked good! I wish the area had a dedicated , safe , monitored parking area that is not $$. Asking too much? Lol. Love the bloopers and looking forward to the new chapter of your lives! Congratulations on your new home!
Take care and keep up the great videos!!
The noodles are definitely worth the trip! Street parking near there is fairly safe cuz it’s near the police station but definitely better to be on the safe side☺️ mahalo for the congratulatory wishes💞
We are seniors and go to Chinatown several times a week and never had any incidence. We park on Vineyard - plenty of free parking along the Foster Botanical Garden. It’s a few short walking blocks to the heart of Chinatown from there.
Wow, I never heard of Lam's before. That soup looked really ono with that Chinese beef stew. I used to get a similar dish in SF Chinatown, but with wontons.
The Sodastream is worth getting. Those canister refills are available at Target. With all the different kinds of syrups available in Hawaii, your options are way better than mine.
Eh, I grew up in Palolo, rain and rainbows just about everyday!
Never knew you grew up Palolo Marvin! People not from here don’t know how much us locals love our rainbows🌈 mahalo for the advise on the soda stream!
@@AmandaFelixEats I love rainbows now, but growing with it, you just take it for granted. And then I move away and realize how much I miss it now!
Thanks A&F. We had dinner at 100 Sails last night and had Papa Ole’s for lunch today. We tried the Kalbi, Garlic Chicken and PB bread. The Kalbi & PB bread are worth going back for. Quite flavorful. Thanks for your vlogs and recommendations.
So glad you guys enjoyed it! 😬
Next to that Taste Tea is the Asato family store; should go back and have some of those sherberts
Yes! Asato is pre order only right now😱
Omg looks Amazing!!!!
Was onoz🤤🤤🤤
Love this video! My wife and I love the dry-fried chow foon or as one of your viewers called "guen chow
ngau hwa. " I would be tempted to take the won ton dumplings and add them to the beef soup! Felix,
your drink reminds me of the Green River drink I used to have as a kid--a fountain drink of lemon-lime syrup with soda water. I heard that they now make
the lemon-lime syrup in Hawaii. I want to get some when I visit there again. Bye for now!
Green River is everywhere here! A local staple drink🤙🏼 You definitely gotta try the noodles🤤 We dream of them sometimes😋 LOL
The parking problem is real in China Town. Some of the meters didn't want to cooperate. They do have some characters out in the day time. So be careful and just keep it moving. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wishing the meters were at least 2 hour parking! 1 is hardly enough time to eat😱
I have been to Oahu 8 times and my daughter and I went to China town once but we seen some characters and other stuff and got scared. And jumped right back kon the bus and went back to Waikiki
IDK if the meter parking applies for Hawaii. But TV show Parking Wars, when your meter time is up. You have to move your car. Cannot keep feeding the meter.
We usually park on Vineyard, along the strip that fronts Foster Botanical Garden. Plenty of free parking (no meters) along that strip (practically empty on normal weekends) and it’s only a couple of short blocks walk to Chinatown.
@@grandmax4 thanks. I didn't know that. Was driving around waiting for someone to move. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Like the inner foodie line. I love beef chow fun as well and just had that for lunch! Fun means rice noodle in Chinese so chow means stir fry… my childhood also eating the noodle rolls which we call “Chung fun”… can’t wait to see your moving vlog. Best of luck with your unpacking as I saw from IG you guys already moved in!!!
Mahalo Rita! Yes, we have just working on the video for you guys, will be out soon (hopefully lol)!
Yummo
Looking good guys! Love the soups
Where ever we go… we will definitely hit these places when we go back…
We are new to this… beyond a “like” how do we show our support for your efforts?
Mike and Marnie
Aloha Mike and Marnie, you guys are awesome for wanting to support more, here are the links to our PayPal: www.paypal.me/AmandaAndFelixEats and Venmo: www.venmo.com/Felixvog there’s no obligation, mahalo for your support💞🤙🏻
Really thorough presentations, mentions and recaps...have been binging videos last few days & seething with extreme jealousy at the fact I live South Carolina now & haven't been back O'ahu real long time...living vicariously through you folks now...✨🤙🏼✨
You both should try Cowcows teas at Kaimuki. My favorite drink at Cowcows Tea are Passionfruit Rice yogurt, mixed fruit teas, and Azuki beans rice yogurt. You guys should definitely try it!!!!
Not a big fan of the rice drinks but we'll try them again 👌
soup rice noodles is tong fun, look fun just means steam rice noodles. chow fun is stir fried rice noodles and cheung fun refers to noodle rolls. but I think they use the terms differently in Hawaii, so I noticed. just call the chili oil...lat yau.
Mahalo for the clarification! 👌
Only if Felix didn't crash. You guys can go anywhere Electric Scooters can go. Jump on that Horse again Felix, no need worry about Parking in China Town.
Thank you Amanda and Felix everything looks delicious can't wait to try them great video love and God bless you both😙⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘💜💙
OMG 😳 looks so good‼️💥🔥💯 Whats a good spicy 🌶 dish you guys recommend? Thank you guys for the video keep it coming.
Hey guys. "Fun" is the rice noodles. "Chow" means stir fried so "Chow Fun" means stir fried rice noodles. "Cheung" I believe is rolled so "Cheung Fun" is rolled rice noodles.
Mahalo for letting us know!🤙🏻 we gotta get the cheung fun next time🤤
There is also the term “sup chow” or wet fried, too. The dry noodles are not fried but topped with something saucy, like the beef brisket and veggies without the soup. Cheung is another term for intestines so rolled up, the funn does resemble an intestine 。。。
I'm back home!!! 😭😭😭
It was awesome meeting you guys. Can't wait till we meet again. You guys Rock!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Awww nice meeting you too Walter! Hope you enjoyed your time and the ono grindz😋
I like explore your foodie adventure!!!
🙌🏻 mahalo Ann!
What did I say around opening containers/packages that don’t want to open….plastic cups that don’t want to accept straws! More of the same!
Never heard of luke noodle. maybe its a hawaii name? that soup noodle and the stir fried noodle is usually the same noodle. it all hor fun to me.
Someone just commented that it is a Hawaii term for rice noodles😱
“Look” means to scald/parboil/blanch in Chinese which means the noodles are not fried.
I'm watching your replays LOVE and GOD BLESS You Both..😙💜💙⚘⚘
Yeah, I didn’t like the replacing of the canister idea of the Soda Stream… ends up not that cheap, sorry Soda Stream 😬
Just love your site, drooling every time, so descriptive I can almost taste everything. Oh my
I love my chow fun dry (no gravy) with char siu. Fun noodle soup is VERY nice too
Felix, weren't you the opening act for Andy Bumatai?
Another great eats guys! My mouth was watering 🤤 Cali has lots of Chinese places to eat but omg it looks so good. Another place we booked marked👍
yay! So glad we can introduced you to a new place! We've heard Cali's chinese food scene is awesome too!🤤
Yum! Rice noodles! What "fun!" ; ) And ono refreshing teas! Can get Soda Stream at Target. Looked at Ala Moana Target website and can exchange or recycle the CO2 cartridges. Worth a call to your local Target. In SF/Bay Area can exchange cartridge at Target Guest Services and get new ones at a discounted price. Not sure if that holds true for Hawai'i too or if you'd have to mail back like recycling toner cartridges.
We will get the soda stream! 👌
@@AmandaFelixEats Put it on your house warming gift list! There should be a registry for that!
try the beef chow funn from Garden Isle Cafe in Waipahu. Ono!
Aloha fellow foodies, cheee! Did you go to the look fun factory outside of kekaulike market? Freaking winnahs!
My parents go-to when they make look fun at home! 👌
@@AmandaFelixEats Sweet!🤙🏽🤙🏽
We love you guys! Great videos and beautiful scenery, too!
Those wontons and the Chinese donuts looked absolutely delicious guys 😍 well everything did, but those two caught my eye. Yum!
We hope you can try it sometime! I hear Australia had great Chinese food too🤤
I'm so going there! I've never been there....And to think I always felt like I was the China town foodie guy!....Boy was I wrong, LOL!...Mahalo's you guyz!
Definitely check them out!
"Chow" means to fry -- it's fried (look) fun
Did you guys do a video of all of the killah okazuya spots like gulick delicatessen, kabuki’s, toshis, masa and Joyce, fukuyas, sekiyas, St. Louis delicatessen??
We did a couple of okazuyas! 👌
I love Look Fun, the Asian store on Maui I worked at flew it in from Chinatown twice a week. We sold lots prepacked, but we made a stir fry Chow Fun out of the Look Fun noodles that was really ono. My favorite type of noodles for Chow Fun. Mahalo and Aloha.
Glenn: you got that right. In Cantonese “chow” is to fry, so chow fun is the fried cheurng (or look) fun. In Cantonese, and most of the Chinese restaurants in Honolulu are Cantonese, fried rice is pronounced “chow fahn” and I can still remember my Japanese mother-in-law getting the wrong take-out order when she ordered “chow fun” but the Chinese cashier heard “chow fahn” or fried rice! Very entertaining video. My wife and I loved the food at Lam’s.
So simple and delicious!
Wow Amanda you scarfed down that Chow Fun 😁. It looked delicious. Beef chow fun noodles are my absolute favorite quick serve Chinese food.
Chow fun is Amanda’s absolute favorite! And it shows 😳 lol
Great video. Have you guys done a hot pot restaurant review?
My wife and I have a soda stream. Definitely worthwhile if you like carbonated beverages.
Mahalo again Mark for the soda stream! We'll film the whole learning process as we try it! 🙏🤙
@@AmandaFelixEats Sure thing! Also, if you take your used canisters to BB&B in Pearl City you can get a discount on a new one. We do that and it saves us money. Not sure if other stores do it too, but worth the discount. :-)
@6:34 beef chow fun! yes! Been looking for “gon chow ngau haw” classic Cantonese dish! can’t wait to try it!
Gotta try!!🤤
Oh! One of My favourite thing in this world! Thanks for taking us along. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Us too! We ❤️ noodles!
This is best beef & tendon noodle soup in town. Have you tried their rice soup or Jook? I like their fish Jook, Pey Dan Jook
We need to go back and try!
Now I like eat some noodles lol… when you folks eat with chopsticks it makes the food look more onolicious… Amanda your chopsticks skills is awesome… Throw some rain to the westside… have a happy aloha Friday and a great weekend… thanks for the video waited all day for it lol… mahalo 🤙🤙
Aww much mahaloz for the awesome and encouraging comment!🤙🏼 & for not roasting my chopstick skillz😆 LOL
I thought I was watching Mark Win lol, had the Mark Win signature reaction taste🤙🤙
Without the eye bulge 🤪
Thanks for taking the time to put out this video while moving into your new home. Can't wait to see the video on your move in.
Awww mahalo! I’m working on it, stay tuned🤙🏻
We are lucky lately to see rainbows every day! Often twice. In the morning on the way to work. And then again in the afternoon on the way home.
Gotta have rain for rainbows🌈
INSANE, we go to Lams as our go to for Chow fun. Like Amanda, Grandma and us always go to Chinatown, never leave without buying charsui look funn, fish, choke food, then eat around the corner on Maunakea. You guys was right next to Asatos, gotta go (Wed. or Sunday), MMMmmmmm. Enjoy your foodie walks.
Mahalo Keoni! Us local Chinese always gotta pick up our faves before leaving! 🤤
@@AmandaFelixEats YUPPS Amanda, miss the old places in ChinaTown, most times I see how good a place now by how good their Beef Chow Fun is. Keep up the awsum work.
Took only 12:05 before the obligatory "Look Funn" Dad Joke! Great vid and full of noodle info!
😆😆😆 We had to have the dad joke! Mahalo for watching🤙🏼
I have a hard time picturing a clean kitchen. I used to like eating at KABUKI at Waimalu, until I went to work there for 1 day. I quit after seeing the kitchen and what goes on in the kitchen. The floor was oily and I was like skating on ice. Never ate there since 1986.
@Lam, it's not on the menu but order beef and tendon chow fun. U will thank me.🤣
OMG that sounds 🤤🤤🤤
Lam's Kitchen and Hong Kong Noodle is my favorite places for noodles! Also, I reminisce about the pink butcher paper with chow funn from there and Chow Funn Factory! Mahalos for sharing your foodie adventures!
So glad I’m not the only one who finds that pink paper nostalgic🤙🏻 lol mahalo for watching & supporting!
@@AmandaFelixEats For shua, always kokua! Keep the awesome videos of your foodie adventures coming!
Soda Stream- YES!
CO2 cartridge exchange at bed bath and beyond or target…
We'll get the soda stream! 😬
What is the NAME of theses dish you ordered
Felix and Amanda, looks so onolicious. As a local Oahu born, never been there. Have to try this place out. Thank you for sharing. Love you guys, you are the best
Your Tea place, was the guy set on fire. IDK if they caught the guy.
They caught the culprit for that thankfully
Next Chinatown noodlespot to checkout is Ying Leong Look Funn & Yat Tung Chow Noodle Factory, close to Kekaulike market
Those are the exact ones my grandma used to take me and Felix's mom goes for look fun! So ono🤙🏼
@@AmandaFelixEats...Any suggestions for manapua in Chinatown? Ever since Char Hung Sut closed, go to Sing Cheong Yuan bakery....
Aloha Amanda & Felix! What a great video, I absolutely love chow fun noodles!! Both drinks you had looked very refreshing. Mahalo for always showcasing interesting food places and I think your bloopers at the end of your videos is classic too. Looking forward to seeing your videos on your condo (congrats!!!).
Aloha Paula! We love going to all kinds of places and having diverse food videos! I'm working on editing those videos to put out so stay tuned🤙🏼🥳
Ooooh!!! Those noodles!!!!!! Noodles and/or pasta, from any culture, are my cryptonite!
NOODLES are sooo 🤤🤤🤤
@@AmandaFelixEats ♥️🤤🤤Yes. Yes they are!
happy aloha friday!! cheee!! 🤙🏾
Happy Aloha Friday🌈
So entertaining and fun always. Videos so clear and well done.
Mahalo for watching! 🤙
Generally speaking, CHOW fun refers to rice noodles that are fried. LOOK fun is a Hawaii-only term referring to rice noodles in general. If you go to China, they have no idea what look fun is.
Good to know🤗 lol mahalo!
The look fun with bits of char siu and onions blended right into the rice flour batter was called “gee cheurng fun” and not “gee look fun”. The “gee” referring to the pork imbedded in the look fun.
Look funn aka Sah Hor funn or Hor funn on the mainland originated from its namesake Sah Hor city in China. Look means to scald/parboil/blanch in liquid (not fried) so “look funn” is usually served “wet” in soup or topped with whatever you desire.
U going make a house tour? I excited to see ur new place!
Yes!! Stay tuned🤙🏼
Maunakea St & Pauahi St not Hotel
I’m in pearl city this week hope to make to Chinatown
🤙🏼 Hope you can make it! Stay safe!
The chow fun looks amazing! I plan to try it soon!
Hope you enjoy it!🤙🏻🤤
Amanda, woman after my heart! I’m a noodle person too! My mom used to say that I was a noodle baby because she ate a lot of noodles when she was carrying me. On another note is Kohala Market by Foodland different from a regular Foodland? The food looked pretty good there. Felix looks like he’s in 7th heaven eating his noodles!
It was that good!
Did you read your fortunes on the cup?
We didn't catch it! 😣 we'll look next time, Mahalo! 🤙
i love noodles too. gotta try this place
They're worth trying! 🤤
Thanks for taking us along to experience your adventures, you’re so funny, stay safe…🤙🏼
Be safe as well Calvin! Mahalo 🤙
I love all kind of noodles/pasta too!
Nood life!
Quite different from our HK- Canadian Chinese. Especially wonton on the side with veg. Of course you could ask for it like that but no one features it. They have spicy chili wontons similar concept tho. "Look fun" term has to be from HI. Never heard the term b4 and I'm CBC .Always called " hor fun ( noodles only)" or rice rolls "Cheung fun". Fried rice noodle that you ate" Gon chow ngao hor". Literal translation is dry fried beef rice noodle. Noodles in soup and fried are identical except width of cut in this case. Fried looks wider.
Chinese establishments are open to early am in Canada. Post clubbing chow downs happen there a lot. We are HK North. So many Chinese restos - several hundreds in Vancouver and burbs.
Mahalo for the clarification! We definitely need to visit Canada!
@@AmandaFelixEats The food you ate looks legit and delicious. Everything Asian I ate in HI over the years was really good even if different. Your money will go really far here! 🤑😋
“Explore your inner foodie!” 👍🏽
Agreed! 👍
LOL the straws!
We have such bad luck with straws🤦🏻♀️ LOL
Yes tendon!! That soup looks so bomb. I have to get noodles today !
It was so good! Let us know what you think!
Both those drinks sound like something I would love. I'm gonna hit this place up when I hit Oahu.
Hope you can try it out!🤙🏻😋
You should definitely try Tiger Sugar boba drink right by chinatown. its delicious!
We tried it in Japan about 3 years ago!
