• FOOD TOUR in KAPAHULU!...

[@Hawaiian80882]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa my weekly go to eatery...Ruger Market!!!.....Geeeezzzz!..My mouth is like salivating crazy!...Mahalo's guyz, awesome post!....

[@loriecorona8316]

We went there back in July but they were working on the building. So we only picked up mochi, icee and water. We hiked up Diamond head. We also went to the almost empty aquarium across the way.

[@ericinouye803]

Wow! This brought back wonderful memories! Mmmahalo!

[@itsjoannalove]

Hi Amanda & Felix!! Nice meeting you yesterday Felix! This video took me down memory lane.. Its 9am and I want a poke bowl lol!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hey Joanna! Glad you found the channel! It was nice meeting you too! 😬

[@edwardvidal3268]

Back in the late 80s and early 90s in use to buy Roost Turkey Tail from there‼️😋🤙🤙🤙

[@bigedhaaheo]

Aloha Amanda & Felix Another awesome eateries review. Fort Ruger Market, looks like a great place, I need to try their Hawaiian plate w/ day old poi or sour poi & fried chicken and Mac Salad. Their Poke looks so flavorful... That pork belly wow ! Leonard's Malasadas, Is my go-to place for Malasadas. Theirs other great Malasadas, on the island, but my taste buds have grown accustomed to Leonard's flavorings. Hope you have a chance to go back to Ruger Market to try their other food, & their iconic Boiled Peanuts love to see a review on those.

[@keithmasumoto9698]

Thanks guys, this was fun.

[@pikakerose]

i used to live on the east side but havnt been to ruger market in a very long time lol since the 70s-80s nice to see theyre still in bus it used to be like a mom n pop market that had great shoyu poke n hawaiian plates then we would head down to the beach

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Still a favorite before/ after the beach! 🤙

[@sharonakahoshi2018]

Really enjoyed this episode cuz it introduced us mainlanders to a place we wouldn't know that should be tried. The food looked like a good lunch stop for sure. Thank you for letting us in. Gonna try that crunchy fried chicken and poke for sure.

[@Hawaiian80882]

Mid-morning couple months ago, Me! driving down Kapahulu, stopped in the middle of the road right in front of Leonard's took a picture of the line....counted over a hundred people lined-up waiting to order....WOW!!!

[@koabradley]

You both pump out amazing content. I enjoy watching the videos.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Bradley! 🤙

[@StrangleArtist]

Yo Felix! Just saw you walking the dog today but didn’t want to shout at you & freak your pooch out! 😂 Thank you & Amanda for all the great content! Keep up the great work! ❤️

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😂😂 no worries just yell! 👋 Mahalo for supporting! 🤙

[@alm5535]

Great video! Thank you 🙏

[@eliasmonn7347]

My cousin's used to live just a few blocks from Leonard's. The guava one is my favorite from them! Also you should try the sunrise restaurant right on Herbert st.

[@stephentong1932]

Leonards is top notch. We found that the food truck was noticeably better.

[@theroadrunnerjarhead4109]

Back in late 1979 to 1982 I would go to rainbow drive in on kapahulu street for the Hawaiian plate then go to Leonard’s for malasadas. Before that I used to go to the People’s cafe by long’s drugs on pali highway. People’s cafe had all kinds of hawaiian dishes. Food was so good. In California now and I miss the food badly.

[@MadStatter]

OMG! Icee!!! Cola and red! The drink of my childhood memories!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Love icee!

[@kerrykouchi2310]

Hey guys thanks for your vids on Oahu eats. New subscriber here that ran into you two at Leonard’s that night. Nice to meet you two. My name is Kerry. I used some of your advice on places in Oahu so thx. Keep up the vids and I’ll try to watch them all.

[@kevinespino8845]

The next time you guys have a few beers and have some "chicharon" for pupu, make a dipping sauce of vinegar/shoyu/garlic. You won't be disappointed!😋

[@123cetaphil]

Leanards malasadas is it!! Esp when fresh! Classic original n cinnamon sugar r my favs. Love iconic legendary eats!! Keep up the great foodie tours and keep on sharing! I love it and really appreciate it bc i miss home!! Mahalo!! Miss the food ppl n paradise! Poke looked amazing! 👍🏿

[@Garillaz808]

I would highly recommend San Nicolas in Kalihi they have the best Grinds such as Pinuck bet Dinah Dakan Etc they are famous for there Chicha Ron Buluck luk and Crispy fried pig ears…

[@123cetaphil]

@@Garillaz808 kalihi seems like it has a variety of good eats!!👍🏿😀

[@Spinning_wvr]

Two years ago we rented a Airbnb in Waikiki and we would walk to Safeway for groceries and always stop at the bakery for donuts they were so good . Now I want some

[@stavana4875]

Yeah Ruger Market! They had nice sashimi platters in da day we special ordered. Thanks for providing the link to this video it didn't pop up in my feed 3 months back🤷‍♀️ Cinnamon sugar Malasadas & Haupia one are winnas.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

I haven't been to Ruger Market in ages. My office at the time was a few blocks away. I would walk there at least once every other week to get a bento and boiled peanuts to take back to the office. Yùm!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Boiled peanuts! 🤤

[@lukeb5323]

It’s been awhile, congratulations on 20k!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Long time no see Luke! Mahalo! 👋🤙

[@yvonnerodriguez8423]

The food looks delicious but really like your tee shirt. Hope to fine things like that when we visit in April!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

April is just around the corner!

[@kaerubakatare2149]

We just tried the fried chicken and the fried pork belly. We didn’t realize it was just deep fried. There was no seasoning on either. And while it wasn’t bad, we were surprised and would have liked some seasoning. Definitely needed a sauce for dipping like a Thai sweet chili sauce. Otherwise, was good and cheap price.

[@Puna_G]

Wow, that "crunch" from the chicharron &chicken!!! Go see Melissa for Filipino food at Elena's in Waipahu!

[@lmgb77]

Fort Ruger Market is a favorite! Limu onion poke on the side with a Hawaiian plate, with a bag of boiled peanuts🥜 😋

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The the peanuts are winnahz!

[@richcurated]

Leonard’s forever 💕

[@daniellemapu3761]

Memories.......Ft. Ruger and Leonards Bakery......

[@jennielaguana3452]

🥰Love Laulau! Always looked forward to it when we had it for lunch at school. Went to Mokapu Elementary in Kaneohe Bay many years ago when my brother was stationed in Hawaii.❤️ 👍🏼Leonard’s does have the best malasadas! I love the original and the custard filled. My husband loved the Dobash one.🥰 Thanks for sharing these yummy goodies and bringing back those memories.💕

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We haven't tried the dobash one, sounds good!

[@titasmom678]

So ono the food looked, especially the Hawaiian plate. I also have never tried the Guava malasada but I think I'm going to try it out on my next run to Leonard's. Thanks for highlighting Ft Ruger's. I always wondered where that name came from too!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

You should try the custard filled too! So good! 🤤

[@glennnanod3160]

That's sone Ono food from Fort Ruger Market never been there, always eat elsewhere usually Rainbow. Will add this to my future list. Always stop at Leonard's for Malasadas. Went to U.H. with a cousin of the owners, so we went there often. Great post. Mahalo and Aloha.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

They worth visiting!

[@howzit9397]

I remember when I used to go ruger market WAY back to get the 1 lau lau 1 rice snack for $2.50!! I’d get 2 of those what a deal! I’m sure cost went up but it’s a gem out there for locals!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Those prices! 😱

[@howzit9397]

@@AmandaFelixEats yep back in the days hahaha times change

[@kyqorioskygo8999]

And even back then it wasn’t cheap enough. Lol! I only wish those prices again. 😄😄

[@_86kutt]

Saw you guys earlier today on cooke street. 🤙

[@123cetaphil]

Nostalgic food: malasadas; poke n sushi; pineapple and pickled mango!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Pickled mango! 🤤

[@laurene2586]

We took a food tour when visiting Oahu, and they stopped at Leonard's for their malasadas. Really enjoyed them!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

They're a classic!

[@MEBUGBUG]

Another great place (Fort Ruger Market) to add to our list for next month to visit (already did Leonard's on last trip). What about Marukame Udon behind International Marketplace - heard that place is great with local fresh udon noodles? Let us know what you think!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Marukame is awesome! If you don't mind the long lines it's worth a visit!

[@carlasiow6031]

Hi Amanda and Felix, Love to see these local spots. Happy to keep the local home spots open. I have a random question for you Amanda. What lipstick did you use on the video. Love the color 😊. Well, have a wonderful day, continue with the awesome content and please give a snuggle kiss to Lucy!. 🐶

[@deen0833]

Hi wya today what’s good to eat on VDay?

[@MrSteveb80]

Aloha guy's, is Leonrrd's all ordering taking a number and ordering outside now?

[@tedkimurajr5888]

We have L& L plus aloha kitchen here in Phoenix Arizona but no Leonard's bakery 🧁🥯

[@tedkimurajr5888]

Had to stop 🛑 watching it I'm hungry now

[@urs-]

Oooooooooo…I could smell the poke….taste the laulau….and feel the crispy crunch of the chicken as you bit into it. And the malasadas? I enjoyed every bite with y’all.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Relatable, nostalgic, delicious! 🤤

[@TheHenryway]

Bro where you get da tee

[@chaka3084]

Have not visited Ruger Market in years! Food still looks onolicious. Just wondered... have you ever brought malasadas on a plane to the West Coast? If so, how is that done? (how do you reheat?)

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We toast it at room temperature 👍

[@B1GJOHNSTUD]

happy aloha friday!! 🤙🏾

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Same to you🤙🏻

[@loriecorona8316]

Love the Guava! We couldn’t decide what flavors we wanted so we ordered two dozen! We brought some to my daughter and her husband so we didn’t look like total pigs.🤣🤣🤣

[@christinaalameda6206]

Hi Amanda & Filex, Yes I'm from windward side but always stop there going to my Uncles & aunties at Kapiolani Manor, we always bought peanut icee dry aku poki before spending weekend there. Wow some Awsome memories.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So many great memories! Mahalo Christina🤙🏻

[@calvinnishimura605]

Ono doesn’t even describe what you guys grinding, looks unreal. I’ve been going to Leonard’s for over 60+ years, never disappointed! Stay safe…🤙🏼

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Always a classic!

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix. Food looked amazing, especially the guava malasadas, yumm-o!!! Happy Aloha Friday!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Happy Aloha Friday Paula! 🤙

[@cheryltanaka5885]

Will have to try Fort Ruger Market! Such ono and og grindz. Now ono for boiled peanuts. Leonard's is legendary. When I think malasadas, I think Leonard's even though they have baked goods too. Definitely worth the wait!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hard to beat nostalgia like Leonard's! Let us know what you think of Fort Ruger Market!

[@christinaalameda6206]

Ok I want to go there you got me Ono for this🤗💜💙

[@adventureblu9843]

Thanks for the food videos. Next time I’m back going to try the chicharron bites. That crunch was food porn ASMR to my ears.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Great with beer or just for snacking!

[@HakoneUniboy]

Another banger vid, guys! "There's barely any green, it's just the meat in between...that lau lau, is wow wow"...Felix, if the radiology thing doesn't work out, you might have a future as a rap lyricist. 😀

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😂😂😂🎤🎶

[@Keliiyamashita]

Ruger Market! Original Hawaiian style poke! Gotta ask for the chili pepper water and throw it in! They also got the best mochiko chicken musubi! You lucky if you can get one. Mahalo Felix and Amanda for showing this gem. They’ve been forgotten it seems as the new spots opened up. Too bad that Japanese Italian place is gone on Monserrat. I went their with my Japanese friend and it was simple and ono!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Never tried their chicken musubi! Gotta go again!

[@alwayshungry_mommy]

I want all!!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So good! 🤤

[@Jourdanishungry]

Another great video guys!! You guys should try pinoys best at pearlridge for Filipino food, and also thelma’s and Elena’s in Waipahu

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Those were all recommended! Maybe a filipino food episode soon? 😋

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

Ruger Market - its about they made some improvements. The original owner sold from back in the day!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We miss the original owners though! The inside looks so different 😅 still ono though 🤙🏻

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Some new mixed in with the old!

[@debbiewoo2525]

Leonards changed their recipe when the children took over ... the original malasadas was almost hallow in the middle...and so so yummy... when you hold it and bite it it flattened and you can't duplicate that. Wish they kept the original

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Texture wise it felt a little different.. but the taste was still pretty good! 👍

[@Snoopnsnip]

I feel so much better knowing I wasn't the only one who went to Ruger Market and found everything "sold out"! Thanks for another great video!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for watching! Yes! Definitely gotta go early 😣

[@kivlogs7812]

Mannn so much ʻono food packed into this video. Amanda, it brought me back as well to those days when I would get so excited to get musubi and icee at my local mini mart. That chicharon crunch though. Fave ASMR definitely!!! I swear, fried chix is always good at these local marts & the ones at gas stations too! Can’t wait for the next vid 😁

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Local general store fried chicken so classic! Nostalgia all the way!

[@dagrindzguy4250]

Great vid! Where's the smoked tako? 😋

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We missed plenty of the og classics! 😣

Oh my gosh you guys always eat the best foods 🤤😍 those are some awesome dishes. The malasadas have my name on them! Omg 😳 yum

[@AmandaFelixEats]

They are the best! 🤤

[@davidsiu1364]

That fried chcken looks like a whole chicken! Was it juicy or dry? Actually it looks like a huge chicharron.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It was kinda dry on the outside but got more moist toward the center 👍

[@lauriedwonch1679]

Your right guys , Leonards is the best 👍 my fav are Haupia and Custard , but they’re all good can’t wait to go back in August with Sharon A and family

[@AmandaFelixEats]

August can't come sooner!

Kapahulu YAY!!!!! Amanda local girl hood. Gimme that Felix Sushi bowl and no skimp on the fried chicken. Leonard's. What can you say? The malasada's are just that good. I love Kapahulu! Yeah its an older neighborhood and not a shiny penny and has some homeless here and there but I would love to live there.Trouble is all the great food like Rainbow et.al. I have a weight problem. Can't wait to eat! God bless and mahalo y'all!

Gotta ask for that Felix poke mix! 😂😂 Mahalo for watching Robert! 🤙

Those malasadas look so bomb!! I’ve had couple other places but nothing like the original.

Can't beat it! 👌

Happy aloha Friday Roger🤙🏻

[@spang9782]

Obviously, if you go to Leonard's, you have to order malasadas. But what people often miss is that their other items are pretty good, too, like their brownies. I'm kind of a purist and don't really care for the puffs. Just plain or cinnamon are the best!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Can't go wrong with the original flavors! We gotta try their brownie next time 👌
