There were three main places we ate in Hawaii. They were Hang Loose, a restaurant with no name, and the French Bakery.
Hang Loose was a fun place right off the ocean and had one waiter, Adam. They had great food so we ate there more than once. My favorite dish was the fish Mahi Mahi with rice and fresh steamed vegetables. It was absolutely delicious. My uncle preferred the poupou platter. Also at Hang Loose were delicious drinks. I had a virgin pina colada every night!
At the restaurant with no name they also had great fish. They taught us how to say the Hawaiian state fish in Hawaiian. It was hard and very long and now I can't even remember how you begin to say it! At this place everyone really loved spam. I am not a huge fan so I never got on the bandwagon with that Hawaiian delicacy. The Hawaiians LOVE it though!
I ate breakfast at the French Bakery several times during our trip. It had the best pastries I have ever had! If I didn't eat at the French Bakery for breakfast it was because the Farmer's Market was open next door to my hotel. It sold fresh fruit almost everyday. There were all the regular fruits but it all tasted much fresher than fruit I receive at a grocery store. My favorite part was buying what was called apple bananas. I have not succeeded in finding these anywhere within the states since I returned but they are my favorite fruit to date. They were slightly smaller than a regular banana and once you bit in to them they had a slightly pinkish-red center like an apple color. Absolutely amazing!
Finally there was the place that sold Donkey Balls. This place was called Surfin' Ass Coffee Shop. Donkey Balls are just chocolate covered macadamia nuts and have been voted Kona's best treat for the past four years. This place was a riot. They sold interesting shirts saying witty things about their Donkey Balls. You can also write anything pretty much anywhere in that place. In the bathroom, on the walls, on the floor, where ever you can find room pretty much. The nice thing about this place is they only sell products native to Hawaii.
