Liliha Bakery

“Liliha Bakery”, on Kuakini St., has a history of more than 50 years. Locals love Liliha’s cocoa puffs. The shop has lots of bread, cakes and pastries and is a bakery as well as a coffee shop. They are only closed Monday but they open 24 hours from 6:00 a.m. Tuesday through 8:00 p.m. Sunday.

I ordered the Portuguese sausage omelet ($6.25). (You can choose omelet topping from cheese, spam, ham, Vienna sausage, Portuguese sausage or bacon.) Omelet was on the “breakfast” menu and included 1 scoop of rice (white or brown) and toast. The omelet had the flavor of butter and it was good with the Portuguese sausage. Also it was pleasantly large portion. The toast was really great!! It was normal toast but I loved it. The shop has only counter seats so you can watch what as they cook.

They seem so busy but they were so kind. The atmosphere was very local. Therefore you can touch and feel local mood. The shop was really busy! There were many people waiting and lined up!! I felt “Liliha Bakery” was really popular in
Hawaii. I want to try another bread and cake next time!! If you want to feel local it is a good shop for you. Also I think if you never tried cocoa puffs, you should try now!!

Sure Shot Cafe

I went to The Sure shot café in this week, and the store was on the 1249 Wilder Ave. Honolulu. That was a not large store, but we could relax in the place. If you have children, the parents can enjoy with children because there were some toys and some books, and also there were some Japanese books and comics. The smell was so good, and atmosphere was also great. The coffee shop has a lot of menus I was puzzled what to choose. I chose a chocolate scone and a bagel, and the scone has cheese and hums. It was delicious, and I was full up. I could spend good relaxing time with nice music in the coffee shop. If you have a car, you can go to very easily, and if you don’t have a car, you should go to there because this place was very cool place, and if this store is not crowded, you may study or work. The Sure shot café is not expensive, and you can get bagel about $5, and scone was cheaper than bagel. This store also had sandwiches, muffins or good smell’s coffee. If you go to the coffee shop, you can enjoy your breakfast, and if you want to relax with nice coffee and good food, you should go to Sure shot café. This coffee store is one of the most interesting stores in Hawaii.

Coffee Talk

here is a “COFFEE TALK” in Kaimuki. It is the twelfth year after starting a shop. The origin of shop’s name “COFFEE TALK” was taken from old NY comedy show. Of course there is a coffee shop, so they have plenty coffee menus and also they have tea, juice, “COFFEE TALK” shake and some food. The price was not so expensive such as house blend($1.00-), café late($3.25-), café moca’($3.50-),”COFFEE TALK” shake($3.50) and cake, scone and cookie($2.00). I ordered café moca ($4.00) and chocolate cone($2.00). When I was ordered I asked clerk “Which drink is much sweet?” and I choose café moca. (Because I can’t drink black coffee.) The taste was sweet and tasty. If you like sweet I recommend café moca. The size was big but I could drink with scone. There are two kinds of scone. A chocolate scone was soft and nice. A scone look like not so big but it has volume so it was good for my breakfast.

The shop opened from 5 o’clock in the morning. In the shop, they have some free computers and you can use own computer too. They have full breakfast only weekend.

A ceiling is high in store’s interior and the atmosphere was friendly. The clerk was friendly and she told us about the shop very much. I thought “COFFEE TALK” was friendlier than STAR BACKS COFFEE. The coffee has heart from clerk. If you love coffee, let’s go to the “COFFEE TALK”!!!

Champion's

Today, we went to the one of the most famous places in Hawaii that was Champion Malasadas. The place was 1926 S. Beretania St, this place may not find easily, and we can’t go to the place very easily. However you should go to there because we can get very sweet and tasty Malasada. The Malasada was very cheap that was 60￠!! We can get many Malasadas, and you can give some Malasadas for your friends and family. There were some different sweets and breakfast except Malasadas. Another advantage of the store is very quickly!! We ordered two dozens Malasadas though we can get soon, and Malasada was very hot. Next, I am going to explain why the Malasadas are very tasty or why everyone like Champion’s Malasada. The Malasada’s surface was so much sugar, and that was good, in addition, when we bit the Malasada, that was so crusty, and then the inside of Malasada was very soft. That’s why Champion’s Malasada was very good. If you came to Hawaii, or you stay in Hawaii, you should eat Malasdas because you would be happy, and you would love Hawaii. Please try the great sweets Chanpion’s Malasada.

Bogart's

There is “BOGART’S” in Monsarrat Ave near the Honolulu zoo so you can see Diamond Head clearly from shop. The shop is not so big but there were too many people from morning. There were plenty menu such as omelettes, sandwiches, bagel and coffee. However I felt omelettes and sandwiches are little bit expensive for breakfast. (I couldn’t remember price but these were about $8.) I ordered “Bagel Works ($3.50)”. It was only for breakfast menu. I could choose from 12 bagels. (Taste was Blueberry, plain, pistachio, everything and so on.) Also I could choose pistachio cheese cream or tomato cheese cream. I chose everything bagel and tomato cheese cream. A bagel was warmed so outside was crispy and inside was tender. It was very delicious!! Bagel has lots of flavor so I did not go off. Tomato cheese cream was plain and tasty. A bagel has fully fresh vegetables and quantity was just good. Therefore I thought it is great for breakfast. A salesclerk was friendly with good smile very much. When I ordered, I asked about menu and also I asked what bagel is recommended. A salesclerk explained me and she told me no1 bagel too. I was happy. Atmosphere was bright and I felt surf because the shop was near the beach. I ate many types of breakfast but it was the best breakfast for me!! Of course I want to go “BOGART’S” again!!! You should go there too!!!

Sure Shot - I love melted cheese

There is a “Sure shot café” in a Makiki shopping center village of wider Ave. It passed in around 10 after becoming the present owner, but there was the shop from more old days. There are plenty breakfast menu such as bagel, sandwiches, granola (with yogurt), cookies and scones. I ordered smoky bagel ($3.50) because it was a shop’s recommended bagel. There was a broil Canadian bacon with melted cheddar cheese that was inside of bagel. Also I could choose a bagel from 8 kinds. I choose a bagel of “everything”. Taste was really nice. The bacon and the cheese were matched very much. However, taste of bacon was like a ham. I love melted cheese so it was great breakfast for me. The quantity was just good too. Nick ate bagel with cream cheese and slice tomato. It looked delicious!! The food was made after ordered, but I was not wait long time. In the shop, we could drink water and also read Japanese magazine. There was not restroom. Therefore, you have to go a neighboring park to use it. There were lots of pictures on the wall. Nick said the pictures in the shop were changed once a week. I thought it was interesting idea. An atmosphere to calm was nice. I recommend in the morning when you want to take it easy because you can relax long time.

Champion's Malasada - very hot.

Liliha Bakery - All of them are pretty delicious

This Monday was Memorial Day, so we didn’t go to class and also didn’t go out for breakfast. Fortunately, because Monday was such a big holiday, we could go out on Tuesday; we also could go to Liliha Bakery which is not open on Mondays. Liliha Bakery, located on 515 N. Kuakini Street (Corner of Kuakini and Aipaako-across Pizza Hut), is open 24 hours from Tuesday 6 am to Sunday 8 pm. The plate lunch prices are from 5.20 to 6.50. I ordered Ham and Eggs plate, it is 5.50; I think it is not so expensive because there are two pieces of ham, two eggs, some rice, and four pieces of bread. All of them are pretty delicious; next time, I must take my friends to go there for lunch because I want to share something delicious with them. Because of 24 hours open, the waitresses are nice and they are friendly. They always ask guests about how the taste is, what else do guests need, and how the guests feel. They pretty care about guests’ thinking because I think they don’t want to hear that guests don’t like the place. There are also some parking lots in front of the store for guests to park; it makes everyone content to park their cars to enjoy their time for food. Therefore, I strongly promise, if you want to choose a good place for food anytime, the best place you can find is Liliha Bakery.

Liliha Bakery - Walk into a party

This Tuesday, we went to Liliha Bakery on Kuakini street. Liliha Bakery’s address is 515 North Kuakini StreetHonolulu, HI 96817. Phone number is (808) 531-1651, and the shop open Tuesday 6am through Sunday 8pm (24 hours), and regular holiday is Mondays.Liliha Bakery is one of the famous local shops in Hawaii. Thus, people always line up inside the shop to buy coco puff or other food when I go to Liliha Bakery. It was first time to eat inside Liliha Bakery. I ate pancake. That was sooo tasty---- I like the pancake better than other shops that I went. The shop form was counter. It can not see the style as Liliha Bakery style in Japan, so I really interested in the style, and I could enjoy local style in this shop. The shop’s clerks are very interesting. Everyone often said joke. This Monday was my class mate’s birthday!!!!!! Therefore, we sung birthday song for her. At that time, lots of customers also sung for her with us☆ I was glad to sing with them for her. There was a couple who was sitting next to us; they were going to marriage that night. The couple looks around 50 years old. When I knew that, I thought age doesn’t matter. It was sooo romantic for me. I could experience a lot of feeling in Liliha Bakery. I could make good memories. You can feel as me, if you go Liliha Bakery♪♪

Liliha bakery - every one said great!!

Today, we went to the Liliha bakery for breakfast. The place was 515 N.Kuakini St Honolulu, HI. The bakery started from 66 years ago, and the place was loved for a long time by many people. It was so crowded in this place though we went to the place at 9:00. The most famous food was coco puffs, and we can buy the baked goods, but also many people waited to eat breakfast in restaurant. The bakery is always crowded. I could understand why many people wait to eat meal, when I ate waffles. The waffles were very tasty!! The waffle had crisp surface, and sweet. I was very happy, and in addition I ate all waffles soon although the quantity was very big for me. The food was cooked in front of customers by some cooks, so we can see the process of food that was very interesting. Many people ordered a very big hotcake that looked very nice and smelled good. The omelets also looked good. We can get these food about $ 4~6. By the way, today is my birthday, so I ate a chocolate cake that was called dream. That was also tasty. Clerk put on the fire to a candle, and clerks are very friendly. I had good memory thanks to the bakery. The atmosphere is good. The table is just one line, so all customers can see the clerks. I bought some coco puffs that had chocolate cream inside of puffs, and sweet cream put on the top. These were very tasty, and I like that. After go back to the home, I gave coco puffs, and every one said great!! That was good for gifts. We can get coco puffs about $ 1 each. Liliha bakery is one of the my best favorite places.

Bogart's - breakfast bagel

Today, we went to Bogart’s for breakfast. Bogart’s is one of the good coffee shops, and the place is near Diamondhead, and a small shopping center has the shop. There are some shops near the shop. Maybe we can find easily. The address is 3045 Monsarrat Ave # 3Honolulu, HI 96815. The shop opens 6:00-19:00, and on Saturday, the shop closes 18:00. The place is not so big place, but the atmosphere is very cool. Some surfboards are hanged at wall, and the place is clean. Most people relaxed with the place, such as friends enjoyed talking, or many people smiled happily. We stayed in there about 9:00 although many people stayed in the place. It was very difficult to move. The clerks are very kind, and they explained about food very clearly. The place has many kinds of food, such as avocado sandwich, chicken sandwich, and breakfast bagel. These foods have good smell, and also coffee looked very nice. The store has many kind of coffee and smells great. I ordered breakfast bagel that taste very good!! The cheese and spinach is very good, and the beagle is big and good smell. I want to eat again. We can get foods about $4~10 that is cheap, but we can eat heartily. If you go to the place, you will have good time with good coffee and food. You should go Bogart’s to get very nice food.

Bogarts - like a family

This Monday, we first went to a place that sells malasadas, but the store wasn’t open, so we went to another place, Bogart’s. This place is near by Diamond Head, and close to Waikiki. It is in a small shopping center, like small McCully Shopping Center; there are also parking lots in front of stores. One of sandwiches that I ordered is Ham and Cheese Sandwich. Nick, Eri, Marie, and Mai ordered Bagels. It took me six dollars to buy the sandwich, but I think it is cheap because there are many stuff in the sandwich. All guests can take their own pets to the store, they don’t care about the pets, and this is one reason of why I like the store. Because I didn’t understand what the sandwich concludes, I asked the waitress; and she was kind to answer me all questions that I asked. She also told me the detail about the sandwich that I wanted to know. Though the store is small, it is such famous place. People are friendly and they are more like a family. After we bought all we wanted, we went back to school to talk about our love, Toefl.

Bogart's - sooooo tasty ♪

This time we went to Bogart’s Café & Espresso Bar. This coffee shop bar is located near Diamond Head and address is 3045 Monsarrat Ave Ste 3, Honolulu, HI. (Mr. Breakfast. com) This shop atmosphere is like surf shop and clerks are young ladys. They were always smiling while they are working at the coffee shop bar. When I saw the smile, I could feel calm. The cost was not expensive especially I ordered. I could eat only $3.50.The coffee shop bar was very crowded, so we have to line up little bit. Buuuuuut, the coffee shop’s food was very delicious♪ I was really wavering what should I eat. I looked at a girl, who is sitting on the chair, she was eating tomato sandwiches. I thought looks delicious!!!!! Thus, I started to found what she was eating. Then, I could found the menu!!!!!!!! That was Beagle Works, so I ate Bagel Works that was open sandwiches. Inside the sandwiches were fresh vegetables. My best thing that put in inside was cream cheese tomato. I tried first time at that time, but that was sooooo tasty ♪ I really liked the coffee shop. I recommend the coffee shop of Bogart’s. Everyone should go there!!!!!!!

Coffee Talk - art is special and the style is free

Coffee Talk
Coffee Talk, there was just one store three years ago, but now there are five stores in Hawaii; and one of Coffee Talk that we went is located on Kaimuki. Reported by Ken Sakamoto “Owner Liz Schwartz has created a unique atmosphere at Coffee Talk.” (<a href="http://starbulletin.com/specials/kaimuki/coffee.html">http://starbulletin.com/specials/kaimuki/coffee.html</a>, 2007). This Monday, Nick drove us to Coffee Talk which is located in Kaimuki for our breakfast. It is close to Big City where Teddy drove us to last term. Coffee Talk is a great place because the art is special and the style is free; and the personality is different from Star Bucks. On weekends, there are some special breakfasts so that people can taste something special. I bought one chocolate chip toffee and one hot chocolate, and I spent a total of five dollars; chocolate chip toffee is two dollars and hot chocolate is three dollars. It is cheaper and delicious; next time, if I have time, I may buy something different.

In fact, there were many tables and chairs, and also there were many visitors regardless of weekday morning that showed popularity of the Coffee Talk. They looked really relaxing in this place. I ordered a chocolate muffin and a cup of espresso coffee. The chocolate muffin was sweet, and many chocolate chips in there. That satisfies my hunger, and also the taste made me happy. The coffee removed my sleepiness, and that had good smell and good taste. There were some food and drink except that, such as some Homemade Sandwiches, Pastries, Coffee, Chocolate coffee, Smoothies, Shakes, Fresh Juices, bagels, scones and Salads. The Clerk who was Liz explained about the shop for our project, and also she was very friendly.

Andy's Sandwiches and Smoothies

Andy’s started in 1977 and greets the 30^th in this year. At first, the shop’s name was “Manoa health market” but everybody knew about Andy so the name became “Andy’s”. The reason why Andy is famous is that he did business as a post office before he started “Andy’s”.

Andy’s has plenty menu for breakfast such as pancakes($3.50-), eggs($2.25-), French toast($3.99), omelets($4.50-), salad($3.99-), soup($2.45-) , sandwiches($4.10-) and smoothies($2.60-). Especially, omelets, sandwiches and smoothies have lots of kinds. The price was reasonable, and the volume was enough too. I ordered mushroom cheese omelets and I watched everybody eating potatoes so I ordered home style potatoes ($2.50) too. Taste was homey and feels nostalgia. The mushroom cheese omelet was delicious because cheese was melted. Other kinds of omelets looked very yummy too! A side was pretty big but I could eat all. The potato was very nice too. It was little bit salty but an omelet was bland so there are nice matching!! I thought both were good for breakfast. When you order breakfast, you can drink free coffee!! “Andy’s” use fresh cooking ingredient and they baking bread everyday. Salesclerks seem families and they are cheerful and very friendly. Customer was almost local people and they are kind and friendly more than city people. The atmosphere was homey and snug. The shop was not so big, but I like that atmosphere and people. When you go to the shop you can eat homey taste and also you can feel homey atmosphere. If you are lucky you may meet Andy’s Andy!?!!!!

Andy's - No1 is always ALOHA

We planned to go to Liliha Bakery, but regrettably, the store was closed today. That’s why we tried a new restaurant. We found the nice restaurant that was Manoa Health Market. The restaurant was a little bit small palace, but the inside of the restaurant was so energetic. The workers are very friendly, and they asked our order with very nice smile. I ordered spinach cheese omelets, and also they have eggs, potato, sandwich and pancake. We can get each foods about 3~6 dollar. That was cheap. The taste was very good, and the omelet had a lot of ingredient. Potato also looked like nice. Background music was Hawaiian music, so we can spend a good breakfast time with music. We could interview a manager that is Andy. He is very interesting person, and also he has very young mind. “First time, the store was a post office, but the post office was very busy, especially Christmas time. He changed the restaurant from post office in 1977. Now, the restaurant has many local customers. Everyday, breads vegetables are fresh.” We asked No.1 food, and he said that No1 is always ALOHA. That means people is most important, and foods are always second. He really takes care of customers. His grand children work this place too, so the restaurant is homey. They are cheerful people, and let’s go to the restaurant to meet happy clerks.

Andy's - roast beef, cheese, and avocado

This week we were going to go Liliha Bakery on Kuakini Street to eat coco puffs, but the shop was closed. Therefore, went to Andy’s in Manoa valley. Andy’s is located next to star backs on We could interview the shop’s owner Andy. He was very kind for us and he took our interview very readily. He said that he opened this shop about 30 years ago. Before he opens this shop, he worked post office. However, the job was very busy especially Christmas times. Thus he changed his job post office into lunch shop. I thought that he looks like he enjoys his life now. Although I met him first time, he was like our daddy. I believe that I want to be like Andy who enjoys his life very much. Anyway, the shop had a lot of menus. It was difficult for me to decide. Then, I ordered sandwiches with roast beef, cheese, and avocado!!! Inside of the sandwiches, lots of roast beef, and vegetable. That was so delicious and fresh. Atmosphere was like at home. I could feel calm. I think that if you go there one time, you will want to go there again certainly. I just really want to know everyone, Andy was such a nice and good person♪♪

Andy's is a friendly store

This Monday morning, Nick originally drove us to the Liliha Bakery for breakfast, but when we got the place, it closed; as a result, we went to Andy’s for our breakfast. Andy’s, the name is just because of the founder’s name, is opened 30 years. Andy said that “Aloha is No.1 and everything else is No.2.” (Andy, 2007) In the store, they are all families, and their food is focused on healthy, so we don’t have to worry about the food is healthy or not. There are a lot of foods we can choose, and I chose banana pancakes because I like to eat banana. I spent 4.18 dollars buying banana pancakes, but it is delicious. And there are three pieces of banana pancakes per dish. After we order the dishes, we have to go to the other desk to pay; it is fun and new for me. Because of the small store, everyone is friendly so that we can have a lot of chances to talk to the customers, workers and the founders. I think that the founder want to make us a big family.

The Original Pancake House

“The Original Pancake House was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke.( http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/, 2005 )” so this shop is 54th in this year. Besides, according to the website, “We now have over one hundred franchises from coast to coast.(http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/, 2005)” In Hawaii, there are 2 shops by Honolulu. It is 6:00 to 14:00 in business hours of The Original Pancake House (OPH). They have a big menu including pancakes, waffles, crepes, meats, omelettes and cereals. Moreover they have some specialties too. The price is around 8 dollars including tip.

I ordered “blueberry pancakes” but it was very disappointing for me. The reason why pancakes was slightly too salty to match with blueberry. The blueberry taste was inimitableness which it seems to preserve blueberry with tea but soft and fluffy of pancake was really good. The reason why pancake was fluffy is “Our recipes demand only the very finest of ingredients, such as 93 score butter, pure 36% whipping cream, fresh grade AA eggs, hard wheat unbleached flour, and our own recipe sourdough starter. (http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/,2005)“

I want to try another taste of pancake and omelettes and also I want to try some specialties such as apple pancake ($9.25) and Dutch baby ($8.00).

The waitress made busy restlessly. There is always still a waitress having coffee so service of coffee is substantial. The waitresses were friendly but I think ASAHI grill was more friendly.

The atmosphere was pretty because OPH are unified by brown and it is like a country. When I went to OPH, it was weekday’s morning at 9:00 however there were crowded very much. An hour later, the visitor became a half. Most of visitor was local people but there was Japanese tourist too.

If you want to go, I recommend the time between breakfast and lunch!!!

Original Pancake House- good mood and good smell

In this time, I went to the Original Pancake House. We can find next to the Gyukaku. The address is 1221 Kapiolani Blvd., Suite103 Honolulu, HI 96814, and we can use the bus. The restaurant opens at 6:00am~2:00pm. I recommend you that you should go to there in the morning because the menu is good for breakfast. “The Original Pancake House was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke.”(The Original Pancake House homepage, 1999-2005) The restaurant has long history, and also they “now have over one hundred franchises from coast to coast, which have won local and national acclaim.”(Original Pancake House homepage, 1999-2005) When I went to the restaurant, many people stay in there. The place was large, and there were many tables. The restaurant’s atmosphere is good mood and good smell, and the clerks served food quickly. The service was good too. I ate banana pancakes. These are very tasty, and also the volume was very big. We can get 5 pancakes. The pancake is very soft and sweet. Next time, I want to eat apple pancake because it looks very nice. Other menu was omelets, waffles and meats. There were some kinds of pancake, such as blueberry, chocolate coconuts, Hawaiian pancake bacon, buttermilk and potato. Omelets, waffles and meat also have some kinds.

Original Pancake House-good moods for old times

This week, April 31 on Monday, I went to Original Pancake House in Honolulu with my classmates and a professor. First <a name="OLE_LINK2"></a>“the Original Pancake House started in Portland, Oregon, in 1953 and there are more than 90 locations in America now.” (<a href="http://www.hawaiidiner.com/reviews/review.php?review=28">http://www.hawaiidiner.com/reviews/review.php?review=28</a> ) Today, the restaurants became famous in nationwide. It was very crowed when I went to there. Most of the tables sat people, so I could feel the shop is very famous for local people or newcomers. The Original Pancake House located near Gyukaku on Kapiolani street. I ordered Portuguese sausage and eggs for breakfast. Then, I could choose rice, pancake or potato. I chose rice, but I little bit regretted I didn’t choose pancakes because the restaurant famous for pancakes. However, one of my classmates gave me banana pancake. It was very tasty. The volume was very good big, so she couldn’t finish the meal. Most of Japanese people can’t finish the meal. Therefore, I recommend when you go the Original Pancake House, you should share with your friends or family. The restaurant’s atmosphere was homey, and I could feel good mood for old time and most of clerks were old women or men. It was so comfortable for me. You should go one time!!!!!

Pancake House-Absolutely worth it because of huge dishes

<a name="OLE_LINK1"></a>This Monday, Nick took us to the traditional store for breakfast, the original pancake house. “The Original Pancake House was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1953 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke. The Original Pancake House is a second and third generation family business, which takes great pride in maintaining the high standards that make (their) food so outstanding” (<a href="http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/">http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/</a>) , and it is located on Kapiolani Street. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes, banana pancakes, blueberry pancakes, and two egg specialties. Of course, I ordered chocolate pancake because I like sweets, but Nick said I should ordered banana pancake again to compare the two stores. Well, actually, chocolate pancake is not so sweet for me, but it is too sweet for Nick. For my opinion, I think it is just taste good, but it depends on everyone. I also ate some egg which Eri ordered, and it tastes pretty good. However, I should have tried banana pancake which Marie ordered so that I can compare the difference. This time, we spent eight dollars each person. Though it is a little bit expensive, it is absolutely worth because of huge dishes. There are five pieces of pancakes, but I can just finish two pieces of pancakes. Therefore, you can image how big it is. The waitress is also nice to us, she always asks us if it is good or not. In conclusion, I strongly suggest everyone who lives in Hawaii now that you should go to the original pancake house for breakfast at least once.

Asahi grill

We went to the Asahi grill in this week. I was looking forward to going to the restaurant because I didn’t know the place, and my friends also never go to there. The place was 515 Ward Ave. Honolulu HI 96814, and that was near Ward Center and next to Kanai Tofu Factory. The place wasn’t lucid, but we can take the bus. We can go to the place at 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The restaurant’s owner is Masato Hatakeyama. He is Japanese therefore they have some Japanese Food. The restaurant’s atmosphere is very good because many local people stay in there that is good for learning English. A reason of good atmosphere is good music. Although it was a little bit cold, it doesn’t matter because we can get a very tasty oxtail soup. Service was also good because clerks were very friendly, cheerfulness and kindness, and they told us recommendatory menu. The best popular menu was oxtail soup, and number 2 was kim chee fried rice. Other great menu was fried rice, hamburger steak, loco moco, chicken cutlet and pork cutlet and Banana pancake. I think the foods are big quantity, but we can take out the food. The price was cheep, and especially they have cheap food in the morning. We can get food about $5~10. I recommend that you go to in the morning. I ate fried rice that was very tasty. There were sunny-side up eggs on the rice. When I ate that, I became happy. The restaurant is not so popular for tourist, but local people love the place. Please go to Asahi Grill to get delicious food.

I like Asahi Grill

This Monday, we four people went to a restaurant, Asahi Grill. The store is small but warm and fragrant, and the waitress is nice. I ordered one of pancakes, Banana Hotcakes, and I ordered the big item to share. It is delicious; actually, it is one of the most <a href="http://hawaiitokai.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/cimg1871.jpg" title="cimg1871.jpg"><img src="http://hawaiitokai.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/cimg1871.thumbnail.jpg" alt="cimg1871.jpg" align="left" hspace="15" vspace="5" /></a>delicious dishes there. The banana is inside and there are eight pieces of pancakes. The store is close to Blaisdell Arena and near Ward Center, and the price that I ordered is just 3.95 dollars. It is so cheap and great that I want to invite my friends to go next time. All breakfast of Asahi Grill are cheap, is from 3.50 dollars to 7.95 dollars. We also shared our food with each other, fried rice, kim chi fried rice, and loco moco. The fried rice is so tasty that I want to order next time. Though the kim chi fried rice is a little bit hot, I still eat and I can bear with the hot taste. Loco moco, I didn’t like the food before, but when Nick shared with me, I found that I do not hate loco moco. In that store, I could find the food what I didn’t like before, but now I change my mind just because the taste is good.

If you have never been to Asahi grill, you should go right away

Asahi grill is the new restaurant which opened in March, 2006. Customers are almost all local people so Asahi Grill is not famous for tourist. It is popular for local people. Asahi grill has 12 items for breakfast and these are not so expensive. The breakfast menu can using 6:30－11:00. “Kapiolani coffee shop’s “famous” Oxtail soup” ($8.95) is the most hot menu. This soup has rich taste but it has plain taste too. Beef was stewed and tender. It was really delicious when I ate soup and<a href="http://hawaiitokai.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/cimg1875.jpg" title="cimg1875.jpg"><img src="http://hawaiitokai.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/cimg1875.thumbnail.jpg" alt="cimg1875.jpg" align="left" hspace="15" vspace="5" /></a> rice together. You should try it!! “kim chee fried rice” ($6.25) is also famous. It is not so spicy and my appetites increase. “Banana hotcakes” ($3.95) is the cheapest menu. It has a lot of bananas and taste was moderately sweet. If you love bananas you will love it too! The waitress was friendly so you can talk to them. When you order a cup of coffee you can drink as much as you can. Asahi grill’s atmosphere was like Hawaiian coffee shop and it is like a home, an atmosphere I wanted to use anytime willingly. 
 If you have never been to Asahi grill, you should go right away!!

Then, the clerk responded hospitality “that’s good” and she taught us favorite food that were oxtail soup, and banana pancake. We ordered Loco Moco, fried rice, oxtail soup, banana pancake, and kim chee fried rice. I ate kim chee fried rice mainly that was good taste. Kim chee was not too much spicy and season was my liking season. Then, we shared other meals. Loco Moco was very good volume. I like the top of meat loaf. Then, fried rice’s taste was like good old taste. When I tried Oxtail soup, I felt spicy smell. It was first time to try oxtail soup, but I like it. Banana pancake was very tasty. Banana put in inside the pancakes. It was very sweet and I think portion was good quantity for me. Price was not so expensive. Banana pancake was very cheap. I recommend the banana pancakes. Ambience was very calm. I felt that was comfortable. The Asahi Grill located near the Blaisdell Arena. You can go about five minutes to use by bus from Waikiki. You should go there if you visit Hawaii or live in Hawaii. I promise that you could have good time in there.

Leonard's Malasada

Leonard’s is one of the most popular bakeries in Hawaii. Leonard’s is having its’ 55th anniversary this year!! It has a long history. Leonard’s was established as a bakery in 1952. The bakery prospered. Not long after opening, Leonard's mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday. It is a Portuguese tradition. Although thinking it may be too ethnic, Leonard's bakers complied. Malasadas were a huge hit. And, the appetite for malasadas in Hawaii was born.

Due to Leonard's popularity Leonard required a larger, more modern facility, moving into their present location at 933 Kapahulu Avenue in 1957. The atmosphere of Leonard’s looks pretty and nostalgic. The inside is very fancy.

There are 6 kinds of Malasadas. They have white sugar, Cinnamon, custard cream, chocolate, coconut and seasonal varieties.(March and April are pineapple cream.) White sugar and cinnamon are 66 cents each. Other kinds are 89 cents each. Malasada’s taste was really good!!! They fry it after ordering so it is always fresh. The outside is crunchy, and the inside is soft and fluffy. It looks sweet but it’s not so sweet. Accordingly I wanted to eat more!! There are colorful cakes or cookies as well as a lot ofMalasadas. There are big wedding cakes, too.

My Favorite Malasada Doughnut

Leonard’s Bakery started business in 1952 at the same place on the corner of Kapahulu Avenue and Charles street. The price of original malasadas is ￠66 and other flavors are ￠85. Leonard’s Bakery is located corner on Kapahulu Avenue and Charles Street. Cost is inexpensive to buy. There are a lot of kinds of taste such as coconut, chocolate, sugar cinnamon, pineapple, guava, custard cream, and original. They taste modestly sweet. Outside is very crispy and inside is like mochi. My favorite tastes are sugar cinnamon and original. These are easy to eat. This shop’s clerks are very friendly and kind. If I ask some questions, the clerks always answer to me cheerfully. Inside the shop’s atmosphere is very traditional. There is a lot of staff that resemble Leonard’s character. You should go to Leonard’s if you have a chance.

Leonard's is super delicious.

Leonard’s is the one of the most popular bakeries in Hawaii. Leonard’s is having its’ 55th anniversary this year!! It has a long history. Leonard’s was established as a bakery in 1952. The bakery prospered. Not long after opening, Leonard's mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday. It is a Portuguese tradition. Although thinking it may be too ethnic, Leonard's bakers complied. Malasadas were a huge hit. And, the appetite for malasadas in Hawaii was born. Due to Leonard's popularity Leonard required a larger, more modern facility, moving into their present location at 933 Kapahulu Avenue in 1957. And they reach it in now. The atmosphere of Leonard’s looks pretty and nostalgic. The inside is very fancy. There are 6 kinds of Malasada. They have white sugar, Cinnamon, custard cream, chocolate, coconut and seasonal varieties.(March and April are pineapple cream.) White sugar and cinnamon are 66 cents each. Other kinds are 89 cents each. Malasada’s taste was really good!!! They fry it after ordering so it is always fresh. The outside is crunchy, and the inside is soft and fluffy. It looks sweet but it’s not so sweet. Accordingly I wanted to eat more!! There are colorful cakes or cookies as well as a lot ofMalasadas. There are big wedding cakes, too.
Try to go to there if you come to Hawaii!!!

The Malasada was a great hit

First, Leonard worked at Snowflake Bakery until he set up Leonard's Bakery in 1952. He sold Malasadas in a white and red wagon. The Malasada was a great hit, and Leonard's Bakery became popular. Leonard required a larger shop, and the shop was moved into their present location at 933 Kapahulu Avenue in 1957.
 
Price.
 Malasadas are very cheap.
1=$0.60
 
Taste.
 The taste is very good! Malasada’s surface is crusty, and inside is very soft. It is also sweet. Chocolate or custard cream Malasadas have chocolate or custard sauce inside and that was hot and sweet, and these Malasadas are also tasty.
 
Service.
 The clerks are kind, and clerks work quickly, so we can get Malasadas very fast.
 
Atmosphere.
 There are many Malasadas and other sweets, such as éclairs, cream puffs or cakes, and they smell sweet. Many local people stay in the store, so Leonard’s is a little bit lively.
 
 Today, I took the Nick’s class, and we studied about TOEFL. TOEFL was very interesting, but it was first class in Monday, so we were a little bit tired. Nick likes something makes student’s fun. That’s why we went to the Leonard’s. Leonard’s is one of the traditional restaurants in Hawaii. First time, Malasada was made by Portuguese, and Leonard’s was first Malasada’s shop in Hawaii. When I went to the Leonard’s, many people stayed in the store. The store always has many people, and the store is very popular because the Malasadas are very cheap and tasty. Leonard’s is loved by many people for a long time. There are many kinds of Malasada, such as, plane, chocolate, cinnamon, custard cream, haupia ( coconuts) and pineapple. I like chocolate Malasada, and I want to try other kind of sweets.

The Taste of Malasadas

History of Leonard’s Bakery
In June 1882, the British sailing ship arrived from San Miguel Island, Portugal to Maui under contract to work the sugar cane fields. In 1946, Leonard and his wife Margaret moved to Honolulu with their child, and he worked at Snowflake Bakery until he founded Leonard’s Bakery in 1952, and then, they made malasadas. Later on, because of more modern facilities, they moved into their now location at 933 Kapahulu Avenue in 1957.
The Taste of Malasadas
Malasadas, one of the desserts, is delicious. I ate the chocolate malasadas and the malasadas of butter. The two malasadas are both delicious and they include a lot of materials such as sugar, flour, and chocolate butter.
 
The Price of Malasadas
Last time, we bought a dozen. We spent about 10 dollars. I think it is cheap because it is delicious so I will buy it again.
 
The Service of Leonard’s Bakery
Thought it is a small store, the clerk is friendly. We had to wait for a while because it is just one line. However, they will give us malasadas as soon as possible.
 
The Atmosphere of Leonard’s Bakery
Because it is a small store, every customer can talk to each other. It appears that we are a big family, and all guests are siblings of Leonard.

Leonard's Malasada

Yesterday I took my Core 4 class to Leonard's Malasada. We were studying the reading section of TOEFL and I could tell my students had had enough. I decided it was time for Hawaiian style donuts, so we got in the HTIC car and took off. Within 15 minutes we were already back in class eating the sugary, sweet fried dough and discussing the next day's presentations.

HTIC Breakfast Club

"A classroom without walls, but with breakfast"

After returning from Leonard's Malasada, I decided that my class, Core 4, and I should go get breakfast once a week, but we needed a way for these weekly excursions to fit our class. Thus this blog was created to help students document their feelings and thoughts and help the community find a good place to get breakfast and malasadas in Honolulu.
