HAWAII FOOD COURT TOUR || [Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii] Steak Plate, Chinese Noodles! vlogmas day 10

[@Jose_Jimenez]

I miss the days of eating at the Shirokiya food court inside Shirokiya back in the 80's.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The old shirokiya!! So sad the new one isn’t opening back up 😭😭😭

[@babylicee4479]

So much meaning in that ornament..love you guys!

[@BroadbandRouter2010]

Yes! Food reviews are back! Thank you.

[@honu677]

I’m loving these daily vlogmas. Thanks Amanda&Felix.😘😘

[@elsalisa146]

. I really enjoy watching your videos you guys are so low key, everything is relaxed and enjoyable. Mahalo.

[@cheryltanaka5885]

Love the koi pond at Ala Moana. So soothing. Couldn't find it at first and felt sad and then found it a bit farther on. Good to know about the Lanai food court! Looking forward to trying it. Crispy gau gee mein is the bomb. Love your commemorative ornament. As always Lucy is so cute!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Cheryl! We’re happy we found the kois too!

[@KelleyM462]

Thank you for showing the Lanai food court! My favorite one when I lived in Hawaii. HiTea is a great choice.

[@wendelld808]

Always good to see where you fellas end up eating. That food court has a great variety of food.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Our go to! 😁

[@LEN1211]

I used to work at Starbucks Sears Ala Moana and Amy’s Hallmark Ala Moana. Ala Moana Shopping Center changed a lot. I saw that you went inside Hallmark, used to be a corporate one, now it is a franchise.

[@ritabaomonycheng3032]

Perfect ornament for you guys in 2021! I always get coffee at Ala Moana and ate at that poke place on the ground floor. I don’t recall having eaten at the Lanai but walked around a few times! The beef salad looks so good, gotta try that next time!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely give the teppan place a try! 👍

[@TheMano808]

You guys got the perfect ornament! Thanks for trying out the food court, will have to check it out the next time we’re there!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely check out out! 👍

[@juneanderson7063]

My husband and I are coming to Oahu at the end of this month. We’re going to try the Crispy noodles and the pork roll for sure! Thanks you guys! Watching a bunch of your VDOs. So much fun! 😄

[@evilkelly4804]

My grandfather used to always order cake noodle when we used to go to Kin Wah and now that I don’t live in Hawaii, I miss it so much. When I was home in November, we ordered beef broccoli on cake noodle from Little Village Noodle House and it was sooooo good! Can’t wait til I’m home next year. Going to try to get to Kin Wah. I miss that place like crazy. And, I do remember all of the koi at Ala Moana… miss the good old days at AMC. Mele Kalikimaka! 💜

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We love Kin Wah too! If only it wasn’t so far but I guess that adds to the charm!👌🏼🤤

[@HakoneUniboy]

The noodles-to-sauce ratio is always key when it comes to crispy noodles like that...not too much where it totally douses the crunch, but not too little where it feels like you're only crunching on dry noods. Amanda's face when Felix said "Chinese kitchen sink"....ZING!

[@spang9782]

Yes, the ratio is key. One thing I do whenever I order this is ask for the sauce in a separate bowl. That way, I can just pour a little at a time just over the section I eat.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Agreed! Sauce ratio needs to be perfect! 👌

[@michaeloyama3014]

The gravy is generally made with a shoyu, oyster sauce sometimes little bit water then they thicken it up with little bit corn starch slurry.

[@titasmom678]

I remember the koi pool going all the way down the shopping center . I also remember Ala Moana only having 2 stories, street level and mall level. Those Noodles looked so crispy. No worries, Amanda, we all have bad hair days. You looked good with the beanie on!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha good to know it's not just me! 😅Mahalo! 🤙

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix (and Lucy too). The food courts at Ala Moana are awesome, so much variety of great food. So many places I want to try in the food courts there if I can ever make it back out to Hawaii again someday. Love the Christmas ornament too, how perfect!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Paula! We’re so glad we could commemorate our first Christmas with some awesome ornaments🤙🏻

[@RogueCorps]

Aww, perfect ornament for you guys, congrats!

[@LaNina0321]

Grateful for all your videos. Literally sitting here NOW trying to decide what to get! 😂

[@pikakerose]

when i go to the lanai i always eat at hi tea n order minute chicken with crispy noodles my fav

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Seems like minute chicken is a fan favorite! Definitely gotta try next time👌🏼

[@jokaky8439]

That was such an appropriate first Christmas ornament!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Isn't it! We love it! 😊

[@mariacatherman3416]

Just added Teppanyaki Farmer to our must try for our next trip to Waikiki in June. Thanks for the recommendations. Can’t wait to eat there 😂

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Oh damn! That dog is so cute and spoiled!

[@ELucas-ih9wg]

Ala Moana used to have that Koi habitat run all the way up the center of every area of the mall! Glad to see some of it is still there in some form.

[@score2high]

My go to used to be the old Shirokiya bento section, upstairs from the regular shopping area. Lots of goodies to get there and they even had andagi. Most of the Cantonese restaurants in the SF Bay Area call it Hong Kong style noodle for the crispy noodle dish you had. Thanks for another great video!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Shirokiya was the best 😭

[@qutymakaya303]

Guys i love the ornament. So meaningful.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo! 🤙

[@philvie]

I remembered the koi pond, used to throw pennies in the water and made a wish, also liked to go to Patty's kitchen for the char sui pork, ono

[@Walts-Travel]

Love that ornament!!! You guys are gonna be pro homeowners in no time!!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha we don't know about pros! 😅

[@terryelliott4942]

Hi guys man the food there looks great see yall in the next one

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Terry Elliott! 🥳🤙🏻

[@uncleken3599]

Omg Felix, your Chinese kitchen sink metaphor is so on the point 😂 😂 😂 Really miss the foodcourt at Ala Moana 🥲🥲🥲

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😅 they have so much selection!

[@1jackvalley580]

As usual the food looks so good. I love crispy noodles too. The steak over the lettuce looked excellent, it made my mouth water Mmmm😍. Your 2021 🎄 Christmas ornament is perfect, it will sure be one to remember. Big Hug for Sweet Lucy🐾❤☀See you next video🎅🎁🎄⛄

[@AmandaFelixEats]

It's perfect! Mahalo for watching! 🤙

[@fungi4591]

my parents always go to the hi tea restaurant and get the c24- bittermelon. they really love it haha and also eat at the sushi place on the other side

[@pamsera3444]

Felix, oooh those noodles look so good. I like Amanda's choice too.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Pam! 🤙

[@CShido-dg6qn]

Hi guys... that's a great ornament, like it was made just for y'all. Haven't been to Ala Moana in several years. Too far from the Westside. Maybe since there are new restaurants gotta make the effort. Great foodie video. Thank you

[@AmandaFelixEats]

I wouldn't say worth the drive but if you're doing x Mas shopping there are plenty options to choose from now 👍

[@Hawaiian80882]

Ai'Sus....I'm like so hungreeeeee for "Chinese Kitchen Sink" Cake Noodle Kine Grindz's!....Sooo Ono you guyz, Mahalo's for sharing!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for watching! 🤙

[@Allioop_1]

Aloha! I love your Christmas ornament, it’s perfect! I’ve been to this food park. FYI any vegetarians out there, they have fried Spring Rolls. I still eat shrimp, so, Felix’s meal looked like something I could eat. Love you guys! 🎄

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Aw Mahalo Alicia! 🙂 💕🤙

[@realestatearbitrage1124]

You guys should do one of these at Yummy's in Ala Moana!! Best Korean BBQ ever!!

[@AussieAngeS]

Lol when you noticed the pond with the koi fish was moved 😂 oops spoke too soon. Loving 5he Christmas shopping, I can’t help myself when I go shopping, I can’t stop u til I get all that I need. The good looks delicious as a;way guys.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha spoke too soon 😅 Mahalo Angie!

[@marvelhoe2299]

Your beenie looks Cool! Alright for the Holidays! 🎄

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Yes! 🎄🎁🙌

[@Gunman1628]

So far i have learned Hawaiian names for noodles . Ho fun is look noodle. fried egg noodle is Cake noodle. like most have said , that sauce is just soy and oyster sauce thickened with corn starch .

[@mochaleui7814]

Mahalo for the awesome video foods looks ono as well🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@zooks808]

Thanks for clarifying on where Tae's moved. I'm from Maui and used to hit up Oahu a few times a year. I remember going to Tae's when it started as a food truck in Don Quiote parking lot, then they later got a storefront nearby one block down. Due to the lock down I haven't traveled much until a couple weeks ago when I went to see a concert at the Blaisdel. I was disappointed one night when I did not see Tae's at the corner as I was craving a Garlic steakroll. Now I know they got a name change and is at the mall. Chee garans going hit them up next trip. 😊 💪🏼

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So glad we could help you find taes again! They were so iconic back in the day and are still Ono🤙🏻🤤

[@seekidea]

I love the beanie. No freezing in Hawaii!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha 😅👍

[@stacyinmsstacy5893]

A lot has changed since I've been there. I went to high school there at Radford high

[@JohnCovey808]

Aloha Guys, next time you go HiTea, you should try the salt & pepper pork chop, it's super good!

[@kg89808]

I left HI in the 90's and so much has changed!!!!! Good grief for a minute I was like NO KOI POND at alaz????!!!! Thank you for your videos! Now I won't feel like a tourist when I go back home this Jan!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Haha yea spoke too soon! Glad you're enjoying the vlogs! 🤙

[@royhi1809]

Mahaloha burgers are the BOMB! AND Their fries are outstanding. I guess burgers aren't everyone's cup of tea.

[@davidw8571]

Love the dim sum place on top

[@harrymiram6621]

Being Huge Star Wars fan, Loved Death Star decoration.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

👍

[@minniec.9127]

The gravy on the crispy chow mein noodles is a basic Cantonese gravy made with soy and oyster sauce, chicken broth and thickened with cornstarch slurry. It's pretty standard gravy for any Cantonese stir fry like beef and broccoli, or any other meat or seafood vegetable dish.

[@lordkent8143]

Lol one week after this video came out, Amanda was wearing the same beanie when I saw you guys passing Burger King today 😂.

[@Walts-Travel]

Aloha Saturday!!!

🥳🥳🥳

[@rohashimoto2774]

I always go to Ahi vegetable and Musubi cafe.

[@kangjae89]

Which Chinese Cake Crispy Noodles from???? Looks 😋 Thanks for sharing!

[@michaeloyama3014]

Well, sometimes instead of water, they use dashi ( the kind from the packets that come with S&S saimin)

[@issacbrown1087]

I like the shirokira Japanese food court at the ala moana mall. Cheers!

They're no longer open 😭

I love watching your vlog l really like your appreciation of the food and culture of Hawaii. Mahalo ❤🤙

[@itstawanza]

Ooh I have to eat at the Lanai next time I’m at the Ala Moana. I snack more than I eat there, so I usually get a cheese dog from Holy Cow or Taro & Coconut with mochi at Zagu. Also, I love the ornament so much! I’m going to try to go to Hallmark and get one too cause this is my first Christmas living here in Honolulu

They should have a nice ornament for you 👍 if not, pearl ridge mall uptown usually has a store with custom ornaments 👌

Amanda & Felix, I remember $6.00 for the plate when Kevin had his food truck by RockZa, later in Holiday Mart parking lot and after that his restaurant at 1666 Kalauokalani Way. Someone remembered it costing $5.00. I like the Wasabi 👍👍

[@glennnanod3160]

I don't usually eat at the Lanai Court, I think I've only had musubis there. If I am on Oahu I hit the Makai Food Court. I don't really shop at Ala Moana any more, I worked at a clothing store there in the late 70's. Yes the old Shirokiya was one of my go to places. There is a Korean Bento place at the Makai across the asle from Jolibee when you enter from the Ala Moana Park side that is really Ono. I can't think of their name. Mahalo and Aloha.

Shirokiya was awesome! So sad they're gone 😭

[@carolley9705]

I hit the like button before I watch even. The food looks so ono, wish I could be there. Amanda I sympathize with your beanie cuz of bad hair. I have days where my hair sticks up in the back nothing I can do about it. We had same tradition of buying an ornament each yr: but the house fire destroyed all of several generations. Sigh.
