Huge portions on Hawaiian plate at Hannara's. Jane's Fountain looked so good! Except for parking, I would be there tomorrow. Will do take out!

[@FoodFiend]

Yes so good! I'd probably frequent Hannara's often if it wasn't so far away. Yes please try Janes even for takeout.

[@JamesRonstadt]

Go at an off time. Between 2pm and 4:30 got parking in front. 🤫 shhh don’t tell anyone 🌴😎🌈Aloha 🤙🏼

[@gemanscombe4985]

Original McCully location, 1971 Camaro + other oldies parked, and no dining room in back (added 1973?). Only Zippy's w/circling driveway that made parading hot-rods a weekend night tradition. Speedbumps! Zip Pak bento topped menu @ $1.49. Brenda K. was the cutie at the counter. What memories! Thanks, FF.

[@FoodFiend]

@@gemanscombe4985 Wow thanks for the memories! Must've been a sight to see those classic cars. Love muscle old school cars and those prices back then. Yes sah! 🔥

Awesome! Finally, someone stopped by Rockys in Waipahu! I grew up there but now live in vegas. That's the first place that I had eaten portuguese fried rice from, and that was back in the 70's. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@FoodFiend]

Thank you for stopping by! Their fried rice is the best local style fried rice I've had in a while. So tasty and flavorful.

Aloha Misty and Aiden: Glad to see you hosting a vlog of the reminders of home. This vlog brought back so many great memories of the times I dined at Shiros, Waimalu; Zippy’s, McCully; and Jane’s Fountain, Liliha. I am dreaming about the good food of these establishments at the moment. It looks like the places haven’t changed much and are still offering the food we grew-up with. I hope Aiden enjoyed the deliciousness of the fried chicken, and ther chili with rice, which id s gourmet meal for me, at Zippy’s. Thanks for the memories and nostalgia. I am looking forward to ;your next vlog. Best wishes and much 🤙, fellow alum! 🐯

[@FoodFiend]

Aloha Bill! Yes they all haven't changed which is a wonderful thing. I hope they still continue as all thr owners are getting older and the whole economy thing. Aiden only ate thr saimin but took a taste of the chicken. He really likes the chili there but was in the mood for saimin only that day. He also loves the spaghetti. Hope your weekend is a great one. Take care Bill! 🤙

Janes fountain the best for it's old style jukebox. Lots of oldies and my kids enjoyed a little sukiyaki, sons of hawaii, and elvis. Real old school.😂

[@FoodFiend]

Yes some old school hits from back in the day! 😊

[@MarkFromHawaii]

Shiro’s started out as the snack bar at Aiea Bowling Alley. My sister-in-law worked there. I can remember their plate lunches back when they first opened being around $1-$2. I think they still make a signature dodonpa saimin with the works. Mahalo for the memories and congratulations for reaching another subscriber milestone!👍🏽 P.S. My wife saw the video and she said she ate at Rocky’s almost daily when she managed Keiki Music on Depot-Farrington.

[@FoodFiend]

Mahalo Mark! Wow yeah that's going way back. I was conversing with someone else about prices and learned $2.60 in the early 70s is about $16 now. Wow. So I guess that $15 plate lunch is the same rate? Anyways I did see the dodonpa but that's too much food for my opu! 🤣 Oh wow I'd eat at Rockys daily too if I was around there. You'd have to roll me out the door. Have a great weekend Mark!

[@pikakerose]

i really enjoyed your video love the old school meals i miss Megs beef stew too it was the best. n i also went to go eat breakfast at rockys when i took my car for service at waipahu toyota, shiros had to decide what to eat i gotta go try janes fountain

[@FoodFiend]

Yes go try Jane's! Just go really early or after dinner if you can hold your appetite for parking. 🤙

[@CoggieCarol]

My faves are beef stew, Zippy's spaghetti & chili with fries, fried noodles, which I can't find anywhere on the Mainland. Miss home.

[@FoodFiend]

Aw what part of the mainland are you at? Found some Hawaii items even in Tennessee. I plan on moving after retirement and must be near a huge Asian store to make my own local foods.

[@wendelld808]

Thank you! 🤙

[@ryden7114]

Hi sista. Love Zippy's. I was 10 when they came into existence. The chili is the best. We have Zippy's here in Washington at the cold food section. It's better though if you get it at the restaurant. Hawaiian food so ono. Debbie and I are going to a Luau this Sunday. Our kids & grandkids are all dancing. There are a lot of Hawaiians here in Washington. Take care sis & have a wonderful night.

[@FoodFiend]

Awesome. Please enjoy your luau this weekend! Yes plenty locals and Hawaiians in Washington State. Plenty friends and co workers moved there. Definitely like the restaurant food better but it's nice that mainland folks have an option to buy the frozen one. You can find Hawaii stuff all over nowdays. Had Hawaiian Sun in both Tennessee and Massachusetts.

Hey Misty :) Surprisingly... even tho, we stay in the Ko'Olina area, I never heard of Hannara's in Waianae. Definitely will stop by the next time we're in the area. 😋😋 Ahhh... Rocky's in Waipahu. Went there a few times then hopped over kitty-corner to Arakawa's. Sadly for moi... Arakawa's is "no-mo". I still remember the old Arakawa's "The Big Store in the Little Lane". Back then, folks from Honolulu used to drive to Waipahu to shop there.... Seriously !!!

I was wondering if Jane´s Fountain still existed when I clicked on this video. It looks similar to my memories of it from the 50s and 60s. I didn´t see the big turtle shell on the wall that used to hang on the left side. It was still there the last time I was visiting around 2000.

[@FoodFiend]

I thought the turtle shell was next door at the original Youngs Fishmarket? I don't remember a turtle shell at Jane's but maybe my memory is bad. The turtle shell at Youngs is now at their new location in Kalihi.

[@stantheman5163]

@@FoodFiend No, definitely was at Jane´s Fountain. My extended family lived in the Japanese plantation housing across the street behind the Buddhist Temple. We often ate there when I was a kid and I loved that shell on the wall. It was there years later so I know it was not a false childhood memory. If Young´s has it then that´s great.

[@FoodFiend]

Ok maybe the original owner took it with them when they retired. 🤙

[@SakuraSpring]

We heard that Zippy's fried chicken crunch way over here! 😋 I always forget to go to Zippy's. I was very impressed with the Hawaiian plate and the generous butterfish inside the laulau, good portions of everything. How do you compare the broth of Shiro's to Palace Saimin to Jane's--which do you like best? Glad you like old school places. Ha! Ha!...I was wondering, you ordered a cheeseburger at Jane's! But then I saw the fried noodles and I knew that was the winnah! Never had Sari Sari, but sure looking ono, ono. Great video, Misty!!

[@FoodFiend]

You'd like sari sari if you like pinakbet. Same taste but more soupy. Everything was ono. I am partial to Shiro's broth. I like it the best but also like Palace Saimin. Shiros has better Teri sticks I think. And more parking.

Jane's Fountain is so good. parking is a pain, but if you like old days food, it's the last place on island that makes it. Hamburger Steak is old school and the best on the island. No tasteless premade patties, Real handmade beef. jippy's is nothing like it was when I was young. Food is just a shadow of what it was. Even the chili has no taste to it anymore. At Jane's you get old school kitchen cooking.

[@Trojan2024]

Out of the 5 places that you featured Zippy's is the only one that to me has not upheld the quality it once had. Perhaps because there are too many Zippy's whereas the other's are one of a kind (except for Shiro's). Zippy's famous chili and fried chicken to me is missing something that made it the winnahs way back when. That's just my opinion. Seems like every time I order the chili or the fried chicken I find something lacking in the taste.

[@carolpohina3798]

I feel that way about L& L's. So inconsistent and junk now.

[@FoodFiend]

I don't frequent Zippys too much, but whenever I go to me it still tastes good. I understand your opinion though.

Everybody complains about the higher prices like at Zippy's but even if you do marketing at Times everything is expensive. Higher minimum wage, supplies, etc. What you going do?

[@FoodFiend]

Yep. Dats ok. They can complain and starve while I enjoy my plate lunch. Price rises are inevitable.

[@UmaNotaSo]

@@FoodFiend I remember when a can of sardines would go on special for 10 for $1. Now it goes on sale for $1 a can. Zippy's chill frank plate was $2.60 when I would go in the early 70s. Minimum wage was $1.60. Progress!

[@FoodFiend]

@@UmaNotaSo $2.60 in the early 70s is about a little over $16. So same price pretty much these days for a plate lunch.

[@UmaNotaSo]

@@FoodFiend it seems that McDonald's isn't as proportional or is it?

[@FoodFiend]

@@UmaNotaSo yes McDonald's Big Mac and Filet O Fish shrunk for real and you know it. I do t eat fast food anyway anymore. Taste isn't the same since it's probably not pure beef. If anything just for the fries. Still expensive too, so I'd rather give my money to a local business.

We have sooo many options when it comes to food now. So many different cultures and fusions. But these nostalgic dishes and the old school ambiance they're served in is simply comforting in a way no new creation can bring. The flavor profiles and presentation (i love the old style thick off-white diner dish ware) seems hard to come by and fun when i come across it. So hungry right now, would order ANY of these and know exactly what i'm getting....tried and true satisfaction 🤙🤤🫶.

Yes so many options nowdays that we forget about these humble places. But it seemed like people still went. It was refreshing to see a younger couple take their 2 kids to Jane's for dinner. They came in after us and sat down. There was also a couple with a younger child at Rockys and plenty of folks at Shiros after work. So it's nice to see newer parents pass on the old school foods to their kids!

@@FoodFiend An hour after watching this i was sitting in a booth at Jane's Fountain. Saimin with beef sticks and Chinese hot mustard for breakfast, ono! Totally going back. I saw a young couple there with their toddler aged kids and thought the same thing, like "Cool, these kids are gonna know what old school local food and culture is about!". 👍😊!
