Thank you very much for your help on letting me know about that Brazilian guy here in makaha. I have seen his food truck here for quite a while now.I promise I will check him out thi weekend for and support him mahalo… Tony from makaha but originated from school street across from lanakila park where the old lanakila old hotel use to be…mahalos
Rutger Market is one of my must stop's when I'm on island. Been a fan of them and their poke since the late 90's when I was a student at KCC. Back then, they would cut the poke and prepare it fresh when you ordered....still good today, but back then was more better. I never tried that pickled mango though... Gotta try when I see 'um!
Great idea Misty showcasing the mom n pop grocery stores. We had a bunch in SF chinatown where I grow up. At least most of your stores are still around. Ours turned into condos and parking lots.
That's too bad that they got rid of them. A lot of mom and pop restaurants here are going out of business due to inflation or people buying out their land.
Just got back from Oahu yesterday and already miss Hawaii. The weather was very nice. The only market we visited was Foodland Farms, so I'll save these for next time. BTW - satisfying my vegan and vegetarian twins was not that bad and finding parking was crazy. Thanks for your many recommendations.
Thank you for another delicious video Misty! 😋😋😋 I absolutely love fried pork cracklings! The prices are cheap in Hawaii on them, you can pay $18.00 a pound here.
Misty! Thanks for going to Nii!! I used to go there back in the day, but I didn’t realize they are over a hundred years! Good to see they’re still open and trying out different stuff. Gotta support the small guys…
Yummy looking. Love when you make it to the Leeward side so I can add it to my list of places to try! I sometimes think the 7-11 spam musubi has a little too much rice but it does taste good. Crunchy boiled peanuts over mushy boiled peanuts for sure!
Our family has been going to Nii Superette and Jimmy's Produce (formerly Tsumoto Store) close by for close to 60 years. I'm gonna get those kalamata olives!
Awesome! I think you'll like the olives they are in the fridge by the cashier near the poke. Been to the Jimmy's in Kalihi but not the Waipahu one. Gotta check it out. 🤙
loved the video misty. i always go to pacific supermarket if i need some asian goods. i always pass nii will stop there like the olives gotta get some. i grew up near ruger market so always use to go there for hawn food or poke. but live on the leeward side now
Funny I lived in Edna St. & I never went into Ruger market 🤦♂️. Always thought about trying it out though. Maybe this November when we go up there 🙏🤙🤙🤙
Yum.We used to shop at Pacific Market it used to be Food 4 Less.Love when you do the history of places.NII been around for eons there also used to be Tsumotos further down the street on the other corner another Mom & Pop store.There food is better than McDeath.Love you and your channel.🥰😘🌹
Using chayote in place of green mangoes to make pickled "mango" is just as delicious and maybe even a little better. If young, no need to peel or to deseed.
Oh my….That Nii Superette is awsome. I rarely go to Waipahu but gonna have to make a trip. We use to go to Fort Ruger market years ago. Good to hear they still serve great poke and and customer service. That was a huge mini poke bowl!! Another great video Misty. Mahalo. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I want to try everything except the boiled peanuts! I grew up without them and tried them awhile ago, they were canned, and I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t know that was an island treat!
Thereʻs a place I want to check out that has tongan food up palolo I think. They have hoosi or horse meat. I sooo want to try. They only have food on the weekends though.
Oh yeah I heard about it and wanted to check it out. Unfortunately this month is so packed with work and I only have 1 day off because of classes. We can go next month if you'd like?
Mmmmm; going to have to try Kamamalu Market; never been there but if the musubis are good, then it'll be a hidden gem 🙂 I'm guessing parking is just street parking so that might be a challenge....
Mahalo for the suggestion Alan. I didn't do it for this video even though I've eaten there many times due to it being a big mainland chain store. But I will put it on my list for the future.
That was interesting to hear you have a vegan nutrition style when not doing these reviews... especially since you're the grandmaster of local ono grinds. What is there to eat that's vegan besides rice & beans (I tried a vegan hamburger, and it was lousy.😂)
@@fijiunlimited4503 oh I'm not vegan. I could never be. I'm more keto and carnivore. I dont eat starch or sugars throughout the week. Helps keep my blood sugar down. I get good bloodwork that way. I did a video a long tme ago about what I ate in a week, but I don't eat like that anymore. If I eat rice, even weighed and portioned, my blood sugar and weight go crazy. It's unfortunately a thing when you get old LOL So I just eat vegetables and meat. 🤙
@FoodFiend Ah, I see. I'm thinking of doing similar. I read steel-cut oatmeal causes a lower rise in blood sugar, though it takes like 20 mins or more to cook on stove.
Well your first question before editing was if I was a single parent. He goes to his dad on the weekends, but I do most of the mom stuff. Am I single? Yes. And happily so. After all my experiences I am not looking. I get to do what I want when I want without someone complaining 🤣
@@FoodFiend I think what you do on your show is awesome and hats of to you for juggling work, TH-cam and your family. I like your honesty and I’m looking forward to your next stop. 🤙🏼
@@gorilla96822 thanks so much 🙏 It's not that bad juggling everything. I'm blessed to have a great family and great day job to keep on keepin on. Mahalo!

You're welcome Tony! I hope you like it. I was Also raised in the Lanakila area but up the hill near Maluhia. 🤙
Yay to support for local mom & pops! Food looked ono, especially the roast pork & poke bowl! Mahalo for another quality vlog.
What a lovely local review 🤙🌴🌺
Roast Crunchy Pork my favourite 😋 love this on a BanhMi Roll
Yes so good! 😋

I noticed the chicken cages at Nii market…. Wow brings back memories.
Great job Misty!
Thanks Brian!
LOL! I noticed that too

Nii Superette sounds cool (even if he did get rid of a lot of "the good" stuff). Think we'll check it out next time we're in town.
Awesome!
Love this longer format video!
Thanks! I usually can only do these during the summers when I have more time. Appreciate your support!
Thanks for sharing Misty. Luckily my mom & I made pickled mango when I was in Hawaii! I love poke and it’s nice seeing all the different kines.
Just got back from Oahu yesterday and already miss Hawaii. The weather was very nice. The only market we visited was Foodland Farms, so I'll save these for next time. BTW - satisfying my vegan and vegetarian twins was not that bad and finding parking was crazy. Thanks for your many recommendations.
I'm glad you had a great vacation with your family!
oh, that crunch...! I always wondered about Nii Superette. Glad you went there...
Check it out! The owner is really nice and it's just got that old school vibe.
OMG !Misty ! I would go to Nii Superette when I was a kid .I can't believe it is still there ! Mahalo for sharing GirlFriend !!!
You're welcome! Yes still going strong!
Thank you for another delicious video Misty! 😋😋😋 I absolutely love fried pork cracklings! The prices are cheap in Hawaii on them, you can pay $18.00 a pound here.
Love it! Nice reviews and exposure for Hawai'i small business'.
Fascinating video!
Thanks!
Misty! Thanks for going to Nii!! I used to go there back in the day, but I didn’t realize they are over a hundred years! Good to see they’re still open and trying out different stuff. Gotta support the small guys…
Yes gotta support them! 🤙🤙🤙
Dang I loved the craft beers at nii superette! So much variety and right down the street. I’ll go and give their new items a try tho :)
Yes I love craft beers. Too bad but I respect the decision.
awesome close-ups
food looks good...
Yummy looking. Love when you make it to the Leeward side so I can add it to my list of places to try! I sometimes think the 7-11 spam musubi has a little too much rice but it does taste good. Crunchy boiled peanuts over mushy boiled peanuts for sure!
Right on! Going to the Leeward side for next week. 🤙

Wow love that you know what it was before Pacific Supermarket. And yes, say no to McDeath. 🤣

Mahalo! 🤙
I want to try everything except the boiled peanuts! I grew up without them and tried them awhile ago, they were canned, and I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t know that was an island treat!
🤣 the peanuts are really goof fresh! I too wouldn't eat them from a can. I totally agree.
Thereʻs a place I want to check out that has tongan food up palolo I think. They have hoosi or horse meat. I sooo want to try. They only have food on the weekends though.
Oh yeah I heard about it and wanted to check it out. Unfortunately this month is so packed with work and I only have 1 day off because of classes. We can go next month if you'd like?
@@FoodFiend im down let me know
Mmmmm; going to have to try Kamamalu Market; never been there but if the musubis are good, then it'll be a hidden gem 🙂 I'm guessing parking is just street parking so that might be a challenge....
Yes just street parking. It sucks. But they're just simple, old school, no sauce. So if you like sauce you won't like it as much but I enjoyed them. 😊
@@FoodFiend A little different style but Mana Musubi is incredible!
Loved this! Looking forward to your North Shore one! Go to Waialua General Store!
Mahalo! Went there on my 2 part series on Waialua. Check it out if you can!
@@FoodFiend I sure will! I watch all of your videos! Maybe I just forgot I saw it.
Omg, my In Laws owned Kamamalu Market back in the 70s.
Wow. Now it's owned by a Korean couple. What a coincidence!
@@FoodFiend they also owned one in Waimalu and Pearl City Market.
@@cherylmedeiros6287 wow!
Aw I miss eating musubi back in Oahu. 😍
You should go to seafood city in waipahu.
Mahalo for the suggestion Alan. I didn't do it for this video even though I've eaten there many times due to it being a big mainland chain store. But I will put it on my list for the future.
That roast pork 😋
Yes! So good for the mouth but bad for the hips. 🤣
A sanrio eraser bwahahahah 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Can you take us to Tamashiro or Seafood City? :)
I did Tamashiro a while ago. Check it out. I will do Seafood City one day! Thanks for the suggestion!
A misty I'm not a great video I just love watching you and you're fine

Pacific Market is not really a mom and pop store.
I’m curious, Are you single ?
Yes sorta.
@@FoodFiend lol! What does sorta mean?
Well your first question before editing was if I was a single parent. He goes to his dad on the weekends, but I do most of the mom stuff. Am I single? Yes. And happily so. After all my experiences I am not looking. I get to do what I want when I want without someone complaining 🤣
