Overview

Quote:
When in Lihue, head for the Wal-Mart. Outside on the weekends, you will find a food booth run by an energetic family who prepare and cook MALASADAS, shake them in a bag of sugar, and serve them to you fresh and hot. For those of you not in the know, Malasadas are the Krispy Kremes of the islands. (I never said this journal was about health food!) Once you have sampled these luscious baseball sized treats, stagger in to the Wal-Mart for the best prices on the island on coffee and macadamia nuts to take home.Quick Tips: Do not miss HAMURA SAIMIN STAND-Forego the airline food and go directly from the airport. Located in an historic old house and consisting of three horseshoe shaped formica coun...Read More

Hotel

Quote:
If you are weary of the typical resort hotel--why not stay in a lovely Hawaiian home? There are several agents on Kauai who specialize in Vacation Rental homes. I have had several positive expierences with Anini Aloha Services (www.aninialoha.com).They have everything from movie stars' homes to modest beach cottages--and you can view them on the web before you send your deposit. Many homes provide you with kayaks, beach chairs, hammocks, VCR's, libraries, bicycles,and have tropical fruit for the picking in the yard. Houses are available in all price ranges-from about $650/week.

Hamura's Saimin Stand

Restaurant | "Hamura Saimin Stand"

Quote:
Absolutely the best--people watching is great--you will have fun and meet people and leave full and satisfied for very little money. A great favorite with the locals--don't let the lines deter you--they disappear inside fast! Check out the sign imploring you not to park your gum under the counter!

Wal-Mart Malasada Stand

Restaurant

Quote:
Not for the calorically challenged, these Filipino treats are really good. It's good fun to watch the energetic family who owns the stand prepare and cook malasadas. (See journal overview for detailed definition!) These are first rate treats. Weekends only.

Kauai's Sunshine Markets

Restaurant

Quote:
Wherever you're staying on the island, make a point to find out the days and time of the local sunshine market. There is no better way to meet the locals, sample exotic fruits and veggies, and soak up some of the unique atmosphere of Kauai. You can sample goat cheese, purple sweet potatoes, apple bananas, sugar loaf pineapples, soursops--and buy large bouquets oflovely exotic blossoms at very reasonable prices.

Hanalei Mixed Plate

Best Of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
After exploring the fun shops and art galleries of charming Hanalei on the North Shore, head for the Hanalei Mixed Plate for a superb casual meal eaten outdoors. The people watching is fun here, and the food is an ecletic mix of stir fries, fish sandwiches, amd fresh specials of the day. Absolutely great is Shoyu Ginger Chicken over 2 scoops of brown rice. Under $5. Comfortable teak tables and chairs from which to view the passing parade.
