Woohoo, my family landed in Oahu, Hawaii! I was so excited to have them around. First order of business, we hit up some local plate lunch spots.
Our first pick was Alicia’s Diner, but it was closed due to a crime scene! Our backup plan was Christine’s Diner, and we were so glad we had a chance to stop by. The staff was very friendly, and cranked out 10 plate lunches within 15 minutes! Best part is, it’s close to the airport.
Afterwards, my sister, Doug, David, and Hennessy stayed at a beach house to relax and explore! We ended the night with a slice of Ted’s Chocolate Haupia Cream pie, which we always have every time we go to Oahu.
Thanks for watching, and look out for the next Life in Hawaii vlog for more Oahu and food adventures!

Farmer’s Market in Oahu, Hawaii | Awesome Hawaiian Food!
Today we’ll be stopping by the Kapiolani Community College Farmer’s Market, located in Oahu, Hawaii. Please press “LIKE” if you enjoyed this video!
This Farmer’s Market requires a visit at least ONCE in your next trip to Oahu. It’s much better than the normal farmer’s markets you’re probably used to, because not only does it have produce — it has a TON of FOOD STALLS as well! Count on Hawaii to have awesome food stalls in their farmer’s market!
In this trip, I was on a mission for two things specifically: grilled abalone, white pineapple (aka “Honey Cream” pineapple) , and taro bread. I’ve never had the white pineapple, and I’ve heard so much rave about it from my boyfriend’s parents (who are locals from Hawaii), that I knew I HAD to get it. It was super sweet, and had a much lower acidity content compared to normal pineapples.
Another place I hit up was Pig and the Lady. My boyfriend’s parents also visit this stand almost every single time they go to the farmer’s market. Recently, I’ve seen Business Insider cover the restaurant with their “bone marrow tequila shots”. However, they serve primarily pho and noodle dishes at their stand in Kapiolani Community College. The whole both was fantastic — I even drank the broth!
Last place I stopped at was Ono Pops. The popsicles are hand made, and most of the ingredients are sourced from the Hawaiian islands. I love the unique selection of flavors on their menu, and their popsicles are GREAT. Not to sweet, and they really hit the spot on a hot Hawaiian day.
Thanks for stopping by!
