Manapua is "Char siu bao" in Cantonese Chinese. Man- I couldn't wait for the manapua man every lunch time at school! Or we would go down the street for bento box or plate lunch. Those were the times and those were the grinds!
Who would have known! Managua - I still remember in Kalihi the Manapua man coming down the lane - 2 for 25 cents - carrying his tin cans on a stick. Wow, bring back memories! Tanks, eh.
Good one Andy...........Love my manapua and pork hash........We used to sell them at Minit Stop when I worked there so I always got my fill...............Love you............
Righteous show, Bruddah Andy. Thanks for doing the research on the origin of the word "Manapua"...... I didn't know about the how the word really came to be and now both me and the wife got the small-kine craving for the bugga. The disappointed "K-den" was perfect with the eye-rolling action....we almost could hear your eyeballs scraping the eyelids, it was that mean............The show keeps getting better and better every day. Mahalo Andy
We say shoots like k-den as goodbye as well. also sometimes used in conjunction with "den". Shoots-den. look funny when i type um but we say it all da time
Braddah, Andy, good show! I can still get Manapua in Atlanta at Dim Sum places. Gotta call it "char siu banh bao" Not exact, but close enough for go "SHOOTS" when da lady bring um by da table!
When I wuz small keed da manapua man come every Saturday at 8th Ave in Palolo Valley. Ho man shootz. We saved all our quarters and broke da mout sitting unda our mango tree.
I live in Missouri, when I smell something stink. I still look around and say-"oh, dat so hauna!! Auwe!! My husband is haole and just laughs at me cause he knows is stinks!! Take the girls out of Hawaii for, but not the Hawaiian out if he girl! Nevah! And he knows when I'm pissed- I start wit- "You know What!". He runs, he knows!! K brah- lataz!
Da manapua man always came by our house on 14th avenue in Kaimuki small kid time and ma would always buy some..SO ONO an den. Andy, could you teach the haole tourist people how foa do do a propa "Shaka" They always look like they are swatting at B-52's or someting when they use it. Time foa edacation!! Mahalo for this show.
Just got back to work here on da mainland and first ting my co-worker offer me some of da kine manapua ...but he call dem bao (bow) . Oh ono, I was like mahalo fo da manapua he give my da kine scooby do look , you know da kine what you say? You always got someting in your show that works fo dat day. As Always Live Aloha Everyday and mahalo !
Mahalo, Andy! I liked the words and the manapua bonus was excellent. Funny, I thought it was a real word for years on da mainland, till I learned it's dim sum;) Same goes for Saimin - which Japanese call Ramen... Anyway, keep it up. Moa Hawaiian kine words please.

I rememba hana bahda days in Kalihi wen he would stay come down Republican Street and wen we stay hea him shoutin', it was like hearing the ice cream truck playing music. Hoe, we stay bug owah modda fo' give us one quarta to' buyone manapua and pipiau.

Thank you for showing appreciation from Andy. He is still passing out his style of wisdom. Follow him at Twitch.tv/andybumatai LIVE stream 6am HST daily. A benefit of this new version of his show is opportunity to directly communicate with him. Try come and you will see what I mean.
Lena, where's your favorite place to get manapua? Would you believe it that on Andy's new platform, the subject of food comes often? Nearly daily? If you miss Hawaii, try catch the Daily Pidgin Live at Twitch.tv/andybumatai. Yeah, it's live at 6am HST, 9am Pacific and so on. Can watch it on the reruns, but why not speak to Andy directly? Chance em.
@@c_honda when I was a kid, we stayed with family in Kalihi.. so the manapua man was the kine! I don’t go home as often but when I do, I get a whole pink box to myself from Libby bakery I think 🤔 ono!
@@lenafooks4776 , so disappointing huh? Here on the mainland it's called char sui bao, i never remember and ask for manapua! They don't know what I am talking about.
How come the animals here on the islands are smarter than people. I can’t catch any fish. My 2 month feline companion can go to the litter box when I know grown men who can’t go to a public restroom. How come, Andy?
Hey, Andy, Are tourists and salespeople the only ones who use the word "Mahalo"? Is there a proper response to a thank you other than saying "you're welcome"? You use the words brah and bruddu to refer to men; is there a pidgin word to refer to women and girls like the girls you spoke to at Zippy's? I visited my dad in Lahaina years ago (he lived there for 20 years) and saw your All in the Ohana about the idol (I think it was) that was found in the yard. Do I have that right? What year was that? Will there be more Ohana shows on youtube in the foreseeable future? Mahalo plenty (was my dad being a stupid haole when he said that?)
I want one of those special made Haole shirts. Saw you out at the Aulani bro -- sorry if I didn't laugh at all the jokes because I'm a Haole. But you teach good lessons and a new way for me to look at racism. You have changed my life -- I'm serious.
Wow David, Thank you for saying such nice things. I think you'll do well in Hawai‘i. The link to the shirts is ttps://daily-pidgin.myshopify.com Mahalo David.
On the mainland wen you stay go to dah dim sum place an' ask for manapua, how come dah waitress geev you one funny kine look, eh? It's manapua!!! Not char siu bao.
+Andy Bumatai Its a comment. Do what you like with it. Listen, to the difference and I think you will ultimately agree. The content is great, why pour stuff over it?
Remember 'Ohana our ancestor's were discritive when using word's. Man A Pua = Manapua. Ho'o is to do. S, make it Personal. Example: that's my boy's. T, represent the terrestrial being. Get choke Short Hand writing in language. Even Hawai'iana. You see ho'o? Example: S ho'o t's , Sc ho'o l. C, is for the creature / child. L, is for Lord. Some letter's are Connector's. Some are blends. Phonics? Who gets deep Andy? Not you Hawai'ian! 👊😎 Learn language and you'll see all the truth. Bro... majority of our word's were Polynesian. Poly-n-Es -Ia-n = Polynesian. Can you break the word down? ...and no make any kind story's? Most can't. Polynesian pre language to Hawai'iana. Hawai'iana Pre-language to English. 1800's 153 dialects recorded. When will our Official act like leader's and correct the wrong? Example of correct spelling... Alo Ha. O Ahu. Kala E Loa. Ma Kan A. Kan E'o He. Kan E. Ma Ka Pu'u. Ka Pa Hulu. Ma Ke Wai. Ma Ka Kilo. Ka Pole I. Wahia Wa. Wa I'a Nae. Al i'i. Ma ili. Mau Na.Kea Mah Alo. Think about Ha Loa story? E La Hui Malama Hawai'i. One Team 👊😎
