Local Kine Plate Lunch & Desserts! || [Honolulu, Hawaii] Surf & Turf

[@score2high]

Amanda and Felix - Mahalo for explaining the difference between being local and being Hawaiian. So many KZbinrs don't understand the difference and just call everything Hawaiian. It's greatly appreciated from an old local guy that now lives on the mainland. Speaking of old, I'm also glad that they are now teaching the Hawaiian culture in public schools. Back in my day, they barely covered it in school. BTW, I know he's before your time, but Kapaolono Park is where Mackey Feary used to hang out in his early teens.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We’re happy to share and let people know! Thank you for the aloha🤙🏻

[@rosegrace3078]

Great job on educating the difference between being a native indigenous Hawaiian person versus being local from Hawaii. You guys rock! Mahalo🤙🏽

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We don’t want to be ignorant and assume everyone knows... we’re glad to educate!🤙🏻

[@kerricksasaki]

1000 thumbs up for clarifying who is Hawaiian vs a local! I started to watch your videos for the ono food finds, but I subscribed because I appreciated that your history and facts were right on. I am a Kamehameha graduate and ethnically Japanese, Chinese, and Hawaiian and could tell that you guys were knowledgable and truthful about Hawaii and its cultures. If you don't know the history, you will say so. Thank you for sharing fun and knowledge!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo for the support and aloha🤙🏻 we’re glad to share what we know and hopefully people will watch and spread the aloha spirit to!

Was there today after doing the Diamond Head Hike. Loved it. The desert and scones were amazing. Your video has made such a difference in our trip. Couldn’t do them all but loved all the suggestions you had on the show. Tonight is our anniversary dinner. Then tomorrow we leave.. Thanks for what you do, sharing your Island, and know you are impacting people and helping people around the world. If we would have bumped into you as we adventured all around the island you guys definitely deserved a drink. This has been a trip of a life keep up the great videos.

Mahalo for the shout out about learning Hawaiian culture/about Hawai'i in school. And how the plantation mix created local culture, cuisine and pidgin, etc. That not everyone from Hawai'i is Hawaiian, of native Hawaiian blood. Like that distinction Hawaiian/Local. Creating my wish list for my next visit to O'ahu. Will have to check out Chiisai Cakes.

when i was in Hawaii I brought my reusable silverware everywhere..the plastic forks are a pain to use and also of course plastics are not environmental friendly. if you bring your own I think it can inspire some of your viewers to do the same. thank you for your videos btw :) I have notifications turned on for your videos. my dad is a local boy from kalihi, but we live in another country now. so I watch your videos with my parents all the time. he really misses hawaii. we enjoy all your videos and in our opinion you guys give the best reviews and the footage/closeups on food is so well done. I hope to see you around the next time we visit Hawaii!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

My hometown💞

[@MarkCMoran]

Oooooh yeah. I used to hit this place up all the time when I was working at KCC. Plus the #2 bus would take me past it every day and I would look wistfully out the window dreaming about their scones and cakes. (EVERYthing there is off the hook!) I used to work for a tour company that included their blueberry cream cheese scones on their circle-island bus tour (along with some Kona coffee) -- soooooo good. For Rainbows, maybe you can do a comparison between the School St. and Kapahulu branches. I always wondered how they are different since I've never gone into the School St. one. And thanks for sharing your mana'o about Hawaiian culture and local culture. When my wife and I first moved to Hawaii (we moved to Molokai for five years first) it was definitely a learning process, and I didn't understand the difference back then. But living there was a good crash course. lol. BTW, On Wednesday my wife and I picked up some smoked meat at Guava smoked, which was awesome (and just around the corner). I'm cutting out carbs for a bit, so no potato mac, scones, or desserts for me right now. But I'm good with meat and veg. lol

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Wow you lived on Molokai?? Wow that must be really different than Oahu!😆 we’re glad you enjoyed our little local talk story session and the food from guava smoked! 🤙🏻

When in Hawaii I make a point of stopping by DHG. While their goods are pricey their overall quality makes it worthwhile. It's great that they sell slices of their baked goods as buying a whole cake can cost up to $40 or more. Thanks for the insight of living Hawaii. It's good to have the perspective of locals.

Hi guys, thank you for explaining Hawaiians vs Locals. We are locals from Hawaii living in California (Bay area) and opened up a plate lunch restaurant (Got Plate Lunch) and sometimes we get people come in and make us feel bad, cus we are not Hawaiians, but we serve Hawaiian local food. And so many people don't know that, and even the people from Hawaii too. How can we educate people?

[@MrsJamieBig]

By the way, I love you guys, you guys make me feel close to home whenever I watch you guys. You guys ever think about coming to the mainland for visit and if you do, come visit my restaurant. Got Plate Lunch in Benicia (Benicia is 40 minutes away from Sf and we are by the water, so it makes me feel somewhat close to home).

[@xvader123123]

I love the food here, I really do. Used to go every week with no issues pre pandemic. Unfortunately we have had similar experiences of wrong orders ever since the start of the pandemic. I’d say more often than not if we didn’t check before we left, I came home with a wrong order, wrong side, etc. One time I checked and they gave the wrong meat on our plate, so I went back and asked to switch to the correct meat and they charged me $4!! Really sad how bad the communication had gotten. Again love the food as always, just maybe check the orders before you send them out and we drive em home. ❤️

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We're sorry to hear that happened to you. We thought it was odd too because they're usually on it with the orders. Hopefully they figure out how the mistakes are occurring.

Of all the desserts I’ve tried, I can safely say I don’t like about 95% of them. Actually it’s more because I don’t care for sweet stuff.

[@spang9782]

Yes, nice explanation on Hawaiian vs. local. But when mainlanders (or even foreigners) call us Hawaiian, I don't really think they are using it as a racial term. It's just that Hawaii is the only state where it's name is also the name of the ethnicity of the indigenous people. For example, if you live in Texas, you may be called a Texan, but there is no ethnicity called Texan so ethnicity has nothing to do with it. It's just where you're from.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We definitely don't think anyone is trying to be purposefully racial when using the term, but they may be seen as ignorant or disrespectful, so the best way to combat that is to put it out there in the world (KZbin😆) Also, some people think we're trying to be "Hawaiian" but we're clearing that up by explaining that we're local not Hawaiian. 🤙🏼
