Our Last Day In Hawaii [Helena’s Hawaiian Food]

Helena's Hawaiian Food has been around since 1946 and is world famous for having some of the best food in the world! We spent our last day on Oahu enjoying all that Helena's had to offer, from Kalua Pig to Poi *my mouth is watering just thinking about it*. We loved everything that was tried and honestly the only complaint is that we did not eat here every night 😂

Man the last day of vacation is so so bitter sweet. Man everyone knows that feeling.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Totally

[@kathleensuhy1875]

You could tell it was the last day. When y’all were in the car it was just so quiet unlike the other times y’all were driving. I think we all know how that feels. It’s the last day of a vacation that you were absolutely enjoying and you just don’t want to leave. Thank you so much for doing all these videos and sharing with us your entire trip. It was so fun to watch.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yeah the last day of a trip is always sad

[@ryanhwangmusic]

Wow you guys vlogged a lot when you were in Hawaii! The fact that this is the last vlog after a long time. What a cool journey and thanks for letting us be a part of it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yeah we were able to do a lot of things while we were there. We did almost two videos a day. It was crazy. Reliving the trip through the videos and we are also sad it’s over (again) ha

[@einaf639]

Poi is honestly understandably harder to like if you eat it by itself. It's purposefully very bland because it's meant to be eaten together with extra salty foods. If you ever feel like trying it again have it together with the kalua pig or with lomilomi salmon.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Next time we are in Hawaii we’ll try it on something like Kalua pig

[@alisameiah5035]

@@OrdinaryAdventures i thought so it should have eaten that way like rice. its not a dessert or a main dish, but to eat it to balance out all of the strong flavoured dish lol

[@kerricksasaki]

Yay! Helena's is awesome! I grew up the hill from Helena's and I am part Hawaiian by blood. I love poi! I even like day old or two day old poi, which has a slightly tart flavor. Poi with kalua pig together is the best combination if you want to get used to eating poi. I love lomi salmon as well as chicken long rice. Maybe try those next time. Maybe you already had them at some other places you visited? Thanks for your videos of this trip! I have reservations at Aulani for November!

[@howellwong11]

I like one day old poi because it has the right fermentation to taste good. Three day old poi is too sour for me. I used to scatter salted dried shrimps from China over a bowl of poi and scooped each shrimp with a spoon. Of course the poi comes along with the shrimp.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Poi is a condiment to dip other foods into - from a U. Of Hawaii grad ( Rainbow Wahine).

[@amandabeth]

Small business family owned homey joints tend to have the better food. Everything put out on your table looks so delish!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It was all amazing

[@einaf639]

The Aulani elevator music is available at the moment on Spotify, and a few other places. It's called "Mele from Aunty’s Beach House Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa."

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We are going to have to look that up

[@juliesaunders431]

This reminds me of something husband says about Hawaiian food. “It’s special because it’s made with love.”

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

💯💯

[@uluasforlife]

Your guys reaction makes it even taste better lol… I live on Oahu, you just made me realize to appreciate Hawaiian food even more!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oahu food is so goood

[@silversurfer9019]

I fed poi to my son when he was a baby so he would grow healthy and strong. He doesn't like it now. Lots of health benefits to taro.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@noreasonatall]

Oh, wow, this all looks incredible!! I want to try it so badly! One day...

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Put it on the bucket list for sure!

[@AnelasFootsteps]

Although we know you guys were in Hawaii months ago for your visit we are still sad to watch you go LOL. We are so happy you enjoyed our "aina". Thank you guys for showcasing your trip beautifully and respectfully during these "awkward" times. Being born and raised here sometimes we do not appreciate our home until we see it being enjoyed through someone else's eyes...heck we went to Dole Plantation for the first time in I don't know many years cause of you guys 😅 I especially love that you guys showcased local small mom and pop shops... in all these series of videos.... Much Mahalos and we hope to see you back one day 🤙🏽

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much

That’s my favorite restaurant for real “Hawai’ian food” in O’ahu. Their Pipikaula is Da Bomb!!!! Glad you were able to eat there.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I love how all the Hawaiian food connoisseurs come to the comments on your Hawaii videos. That’s the love of food connecting us. 😍 So glad you loved so many foods in Hawaii, but no worries if you don’t love everything Peter and Kitra. I was born and raised in Hawaii and I don’t love all the local classics. Main thing is to Live Aloha! 🤙🌴🍍

Thanks Misty ☺️

[@fortheloveofdisney1173]

I’m so glad you enjoyed Helena’s like me and my daughter did when we went there! It was our favorite place to eat of all the places we tried!! Can’t believe your Hawaii videos are coming to an end. Guess I’ll just have to watch them again to relive the island magic! Thanks for your amazing videos!!!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We are so sad too. Even though our vacation ended months ago we have been reliving the trip through the videos and we are sad it’s over again

[@CaSweety510]

Helena’s is a classic and always one of the first places I go! I love LauLau so I have to always get it. The PiPikaula (pronounced like Pee Pee Cow La) is so delicious at Helena’s. You did a great job choosing a selection and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I literally grew up in the Helenas area, Helenas is the best Hawaiian food, glad you guys were brave and tried all the food we love in the islands. ALOHA!!!

[@marciclark8266]

My former son in law grew up in Hawaii and made fantastic laulau. Add to that the fact he is Filipino and Portuguese so he knows how to make the best Lumpia ever! I do miss his cooking, lol

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks edit watching them all Debbie

[@hulamamma5330]

I love how both of you are so open to try new foods. Laulau isn't the most appealing visually, but it is sooooo delicious. Poi is an acquired taste. It's the first baby food given, since it's so nutritious. Been enjoying your Oahu adventures.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🤤

[@johmayo7042]

I have just found this video, and as a native of Hawai'i, I wish Hawaiian restaurants would introduce a "tourist" size of poi. I personally love it, and as a child we do eat it with sugar added (like porridge), and MY STOMACH'S HEART HURTS every time I see a YT video of tourists wasting that grey gold!

I’m envious you went to Auntie Helenas! I’m Native born but raised in Arizona. My Ohana did all they could to help raise me with the best. HOWEVER, although my family are excellent cooks and know their restaurants too, not one took me to Helenas!😕 About the poi...I love poi. Especially along with Kalua pork, lau lau, Lomi salmon...YUMMY! Much like how you ate the rice with kalua pork. The Haupia looked delicious too! My mom used to make haupia with a shortbread cookie crust. Which is “the BOMB”! Aloha you two! You’re awesome adventurers. 😘🤗

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much Meleana

Poi saved my life as a baby....born and raised on Oahu poke and Poi my ultimate favorite food. Next time see if you can try pa’i ‘ai taste and texture very different.

I grew up eating poi and I love it. Best dish Loco Moco!

Poi is made by the root of the taro,it looks like fresh poi. Poor thing you you pour chili water over your good or in a dish w/shoyu it's Delicious Thank You Two. Happy You enjoyed our Hawai'i LOVE and GOD BLESS You Both ALOHA Chrissy Honolulu Hawai'i 😙🌿⚘🌿⚘🌿⚘🌿⚘🌿⚘🌿⚘💜💙

[@kukanagirl]

I love sour poi! Which is day-old poi. Put chili pepper water to give it flavor. I love you guys more for going Helena's. Aloha!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haven’t tried sour poi yet

[@Breahpo]

I have to say, I know this video is old but the reason you don’t like poi is because you’re eating it wrong lol. Poi is meant to dip your meat in. Especially for something that is salty like kalua pig. Take a fork full of pig, dip it in the poi and bam! Perfect combo! You’re never gonna like poi just by itself because it’s not meant to be eaten by itself. so glad you guys are adventurous enough to give it a couple of tries though ❤️🤙🏾

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

So it’s a condiment?

[@harrymiram6621]

Having grown up w/poi, consider it an essential part of Hawaiian menu. It's been said, that if newborn/toddler had some kind of food allergy, being that it's hypoallergenic, poi could be fed until digestive system was strong enough to handle regular foods. Myself, have never had ANY difficulty w/food...See Food, EAT Food!-lol

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

oh that's interesting

[@bdarlene22]

You can tell by the look on your faces how good something tastes- thats what I like about your channel! You guys tell it like it is! I love anything pork( for me its the best meat on the planet) so those ribs looked amazing! Thanks for all the entertaining vids from Hawaii! I really enjoyed them

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰 thanks so much

[@kaceygiggler8476]

Going to Hawaii next week for 10 days!! Your vlogs have helped me so much to maximize my experience in Oahu. After binging all your Hawaii videos, you two feel like old friends and I look forward to seeing more Ordinary Adventures- 5 stars ⭐️

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

You are going to have so much fun! Enjoy!

[@SephardicHawaiian]

I have lived in California for many years, luckily we have a market here in Sacramento that sells frozen poi. Poi is my #1 comfort food. Many people are born and raised in Hawaiʻi and may not like poi, but I have yet to meet anyone who is kānaka maoli born in Hawaiʻi who does not like poi. We usually eat it sour. Good for you both for trying our traditional food, many tourists do not.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I wonder if we'd like it better sour

[@deannazavala4059]

I’m so glad you guys ventured out to local restaurants and didn’t just stay at Aulani as some vloggers do! I really loved these Hawaii vlogs and can’t wait for your next adventure there. I like poi with Kalua pork in the same bite. Some people do eat it with sugar or soy sauce in it.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much Desirae. As much as we LOVED aulani, exploring the island we one of our favorite parts of the trip

[@jasonbabila6006]

I used to work very close to that hotel in the Campbell Industrial Park, I remember when that whole area was sugar cane fields and I've watched that hotel get built in the mid 90's, I was raised eating what you folks are eating only homemade. Now that I live in the states, make my own kalua pork in a slow cooker, pork butt, sea salt, liguid smoke wrapped in foil place it in the slow cooker at med for 4-6 hours depending on the weight of the pork. I live in WA so we have Hawaiian foods here.🤙🏽

[@kevint9627]

I loved all your videos from your Hawaiian Vacation! I live in Oahu and it was great to see you experience the Aloha and hospitality from our State. I loved that you enjoyed the Hawaiian food from Helena's. I am not a huge fan of Poi, but when I do eat it I mix it with lomi salmon or Kalua pig to give it some flavor! Enjoy your WDW trip and come back to Hawaii again! Mahalo!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

This is a great compliment coming from a local. Ha a lot of people pointed out we should have the poi with the kalua pig. Next time!

[@davinakawaihau7554]

Add sugar to your poi, and it will taste like plum pudding.. That's how our ohana grew up eating it, plus try sprinkling sugar on your avocado slices, it will take it to another level.. Enjoy 😋😋😋

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Will have to try that next time

[@Starryeyed1801]

You have to eat the poi with lomi lomi salmon (like mix it all together) the saltiness of the lomi lomi salmon and the starchiness of the poi makes it unbelievable (if you can imagine that.) FYI, I can't eat poi alone, its too sour. But I can eat a whole bowl this was 💥

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Next time we’ll try it with food.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

If your poi is sour it's been sitting around too long. If you get it fresh (like literally pounded a few seconds ago from the root straight from the ground) it's actually slightly sweet.

[@howellwong11]

@@Kap00rwith2os I like one day old bowl, just enough time for the right amount of fermentation to give poi a great taste.

And yes you can take food on the plane with you as a carry on. Just not liquid of course. I always take a zip pac or surf pac from zippys when I travel. I had also taken some coco puffs to my aunt that moved to Vegas and some burgers from Diners. Manapua and pork hash I also put on a carry on. And some Molokai sweet bread for my sister in Washington state.

I like eating poi with haupia and/ or sugar 👍🏼 There’s also poi mochi that are fried on the outside and chewy on the inside and poi andagi which is an Okinawan fried donut (crunchier on the outside and denser on the inside than malasadas) Also, I think Helena’s marinades then hangs their pipikaula (pronounced more like pipi-cow-la) for a while before frying it, aging it a bit I guess

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I want to go back to Hawaii just to have more of it haha

[@heatherramirez27]

Giving props that you tried poi. Next time I suggest you dip the kalua pork in the poi. Or the lau lau. The saltiness of it taste really good. Also, please know that there are different lengths of fermented poi. The longer it has been fermented, or the older it is, it gets sour. Really fresh poi is really sweet. I fed it to my babies mixed with banana. Hopefully next time you can visit the poi farms and try fresh poi. It is also very much a part of our culture.

Local of Hawaii and a big fan of your show! Honestly, love Helena’s. It’s a definite must stop for anyone who is visiting and looking for something authentic Hawaiian! Personally, I like to eat my poi with the kalua pig! Alotta people add sugar to theirs. It’s not for me. But, maybe you can try that. The best Hawaiian food in my opinion is laulau, hands down! But you can’t beat a mixed plate for the local parties lol glad you both had a good time

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much. Where else would you recommend us try if we came back?

[@SaphireRacer]

@@OrdinaryAdventures You two pretty much hit all of the popular places. But, theres another shrimp place just further down from where you had shrimp last time, called “Romy’s Kahuku prawns and shrimp hut”. Its a little red building on the side of the street. They harvest their prawns and shrimp right there from the shrimp ponds around the building. They also sell really good Li Hing Mui Pineapple. “Laverne’s” is another good hawaiian food place. They have a food truck, but it never changes location. Their plate lunches are on the hefty side. But i would defiantly go for their laulau/kalua combo plate! Idk if this is a ridiculous suggestion, because I’m not sure if either of you care for spam, but a cheap 7-11 musubi or a Saimin from Zippy’s is a pretty legit local staple. Other then that, we have plenty of local fusion places. As well as some pretty authentic asian restaurants. I wish you two all the luck on your next adventure to Hawai’i!!

[@MisterGrapes]

Everything you ate at Helena's, except the poi looks good. That being said, I'd try the poi with the lau lau or hula chicken. The coconut jello looks interesting, glad you said it was tasty. Thanks so much for sharing your HI adventures with us. As has been said before, this trip was well-deserved & I'm glad you had an amazing vacation.

[@michaelmorrow6152]

Loco Moco is my favorite. It’s a very hearty dish consisting of a hamburger patty, eggs, gravy over white rice.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Loved the gravy

[@anaheimskip]

You’re supposed to dip things like the Kailua ports or salmon in with the poi. As I remember, not normally eaten straight, otherwise, it doesn’t take like anything. However, mixed with a salty meat, it’s suppose to actually pop pretty good. Maybe like mixing meat and potatoes.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We didn’t know. We’ll try it next time

Thank you for all your videos. We were supposed to have been there the same time you were there but had to postpone it till may due my upcoming hip replacement this week..( 83 more days). We are writing all the places down for our upcoming trip. Thanks again!

Could taste the flavor through the power of the Peter Meter and Kitranometer. Those ribs looked so dang good. Love when they are on the bone. You get so much flavor when it is. An sad this is the last day in Hawaii vlog. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Get to live through it and take pointers on where to go.

Miss miss laulau the most. We are temporarily living is So Cal and fortunately we can get laulau at our nearest L&L Hawaiian BBQ in San Dimas along with other Island foods. L&L is a real Hawaiian food chain (originating from the islands} not a copycat. Poi goes good mixed with Lomi Salmon (which you didn't order - next time) also with raw fish like poke, beef stew and corn beef and cabbage and corn beef and onions. I can make most of these dishes here but it hard to get poi around here unless I get it frozen from a specialty store like Tokyo Central. Let me know before your next trip to Hawai'i for some tips.

Poi is actually a palate cleanser. For example, take a bite of the laulau then you either take a beef rib, dip it into the poi or eat a spoonful of poi before yo eat the rib.
