What is your favorite Hawaii exclusive item(s) from these food chains? Mines is the Haupia and Taro pie from McDonalds. Cmon, McDonalds make it a permanent item😋🤙👍
Totally agree! I wish McDonalds would make those items permanent! Glad you explained they were seasonal, cause I was wondering why I would only see taro and not Haupia sometimes. The guava looks super good too.
I was born in Hawaii, bit I've been living in Texas for 4 years now. Even though I've been away from my home state for so long, I'm still a local boy at heart. All those local grinds are making me hungry. Lol. Mahalo for posting. I subbscribed.
Thankfully a big Japanese company bought 7-11. It is easy to eat any meal out of them now with all the affordable, tasty selections. I tried them after an 8 year absence and was very pleased with the convenience and freshness. Yum. My most popular Christmas gifts to family this last year were Priority Mail boxes filled with Hawaii made snacks from Long's.
Love 711 and the convenience. And Japan really knows how to do quick pick ups with all the vending machines and Lawson stores too. Can't go wrong with Longs goodies🤙👍😋
Ive lived in Hawaii for 20+ years. I forget just how exclusive some of my everyday snacks and meals are. I've truly grown to love the food, culture and ofcourse the people of Hawaii. 🤙🏽
Aloha Scott!! I'm glad that you can watch this channel and see Hawaii again through the exclusive foods. Actually, I don't realize it too until I'm filming about these things I take for granted like the apple pie and our 7-11s. I hope your able to visit again soon🤙👍😋
Great fast food Hawaii exclusives in worldwide store chains! Fried apple pie, ono Jollibee Chix sandwich and 7-11. Haupia slurpee? I have to try that! It’s true. Whoever grew up in Hawaii loves Spam. I stopped eating it because I became a vegan for decades. I now eat meat occasionally and my favorite is the smoked or bacon spam. I can’t forget the 2slices fried spam or Portuguese sausage, eggs, rice and side corn. Yum!!!! My childhood breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!!!
Aloha RisaandJesus!! Awwww soo much good exclusive Hawaii chains. And the Haupia Slurpee is soo unique and onolicious! I gotta try the bacon spam and you are making me hungry with the talk of all your dishes😋🤙 Gonan eat now. Lol!! Mahalo🤙
I agree that the Taro pie should be a permanent menu item. I was sad when it wasn't anywhere to be found when I visited Oahu in March. They did have Haupia at some locations tho.
Ho! Mouth's already watering at the start of the video. Might not be much to others, but definitely hits home and takes me right back to childhood. As soon as you opened the Shoyu packet and dumped it on the Locals Deluxe, I fell off the couch and got light-headed. I always do that and put a little black pepper and ketchup on the rice too. So tasty! After I fell off da couch, the missus fell off when she saw the dynamite ahi roll. That's her go-to. Another winna video guys! See you soon! 🤙🏽
Aloha Reyes Ohana!! Always good hearing from you guys!! And yes, total old school times for me too with the shoyu packets and that black pepper and ketch up is what my Mom used to do when growing up. The dynamite ahi roll is a winner! Well def grab some local eats when you're here. Have a great weekend!👍🤙😋
I remember having a spam musubi at 7-11 in Waikiki years ago and remembering how delicious it was! Loved getting Portuguese sausage and rice at McDo and Denny’s too! Will need to find that Haupia pie next time we’re in the islands! Thanks for another great vid, Sean!
Aloha Arlene!! The Spam Musubi is soo good at 711. It's my favorite and I hope the Haupia one is available when you come here and visit. It's random and only seasonal. I'm pushing for their items to permanently be on the menu. Hope all is well Arlene and good hearing from you🤙👍😋
THANK YOU Sean for another great video, and i'm actually super happy that someone that's famous agrees that the Jollibee chicken sandwich is the best (bc everyone I know doesn't think so), so finally!
Aloha Regina!! Mahalo for watching this channel. Not famous because I can still go days without being noticed lol but I like to keep it real with the viewers. And you and I agree, Jollibee has the best chicken sandwich. We are friends and those ppl don't know chicken if they don't agree. Lol.👍🤙😋😂
My favorite from McDonald's is the McTeri Delux and haupia pie. But they discontinued the banana pie. They didn't bring it back for some years. I don't remember.
Aloha Muna!!! Yes, that's why it's good to have ppl that comment not just from Hawaii, and the State's but Saipan too!! Cool!! Fried Apple Pie is there as well🤙👍😋
Love this video! Really enjoyed seeing the exclusive Hawaii food items! So trippy to see rice at McDonalds! Safe travels to India! Can't wait to watch it!
Aloha Lisa!! Aww Mahalo for watching till the end of the video. !! And yes, so much exclusive items and I take for granted the rice too at McDonalds. It is different when I think about it. Thanks again🤙😋👍
@HawaiianTraveler | Sean Kaleponi I miss all day breakfast at McDonalds, then I could get all day rice! Since mcds got rice, burger and egg patties, I dunno why they havent had a loco moco breakfast platter all they need is gravy
You shoot so much b-roll in Kaneohe. It would be so great if you can review great Kaneohe restaurants. I just moved here and really can use some advice where to eat. Adela's is great.
Aloha Mirza!!! Kaneohe is beautiful and I'm born and raised here in this city. And I will do a video later with Kaneohe restaurants for sure. Please try Kin Wah!:) I love the Chinese food there🤙😋👍
Aloha Sean and Nhi!! Another great video!!! I usually see videos on only one place, whether its McDonalds, Jollibee , and a lot of 711's. But never all in one video!! Mahalo guys and keep doing what your doing. I love the drone shots too because it gives me a feel of Hawaii's scenary, not just the great Hawaii food!!:):) Have a safe trip in India!!:):)
Aloha Justsaying!! Mahalo for your kind words and we try our best to squeeze everything in one video to make it easier on the viewer and I do want to ppl to get a total Hawaii feel which is why we use the drone shots. Mahalo for noticing!😋👍🤙
3:35 When you come to Australia, all our Maccas (long story of why we call McDonalds , Maccas) have fried apple pies. On our menu they are called Hot ApplePies 😋
Aloha Rod!!! Always good hearing from you!! And I wanna visit Australia and of course I'm going to a McDonalds there. And it's called Hot Apple Pies? Is it fried too? I'm curious and gonna try it when I visit:)😋🤙👍 enjoy your vacation here soon!🏝
@@SeanKaleponi Yes , definitely fried with the little bubbles on the pastry exactly like it is in Hawaii. The apple inside is soft exactly like yours when you broke it open. We did have limited edition Creme Brûlée Apple Pie last year, it was delicious. It was only on the menu for about 5 weeks.
Mine would be Musubi. Wish they bring back 7Eleven to Waikiki. I haven’t had a chance to try a 7Eleven’s Musubi and all their other goodies. Will definitely try the Haupia fried pie, I love anything coconut. Thanks Sean&Nhi 😘😘
Aloha Honu67!! Oh yeah, now that I think of it, I don't remember seeing a 711 in Waikiki. I think it's the ABC store. There used to be one right across the streetbof 24 HR Kapiolani but that's not Waikiki but close to it. The Haupia Pie is sooo good. Hope it comes back soon. Mahalo for always supporting our channel!🤙👍😋
Aloha Sean and Nhi!! This was so fun to watch and for sure left us hungry. We love trying the quick and easy food from 7-11 in Hawai’i and love the hint of Filipino flare in some of the items too!! We laughed when you ended up getting the chicken sandwich at Jollibee!! It would be a crime not to get it when you’re there already!! Had no idea about the Thai walls at Starbucks so now we know!! McDonald’s fried pies…just 😋😋😋! Mahalo for sharing another great food tour around the island. Hope you and Nhi have a great trip to India and safe travels to you guys. Can’t wait to see what you guys do and eat there!! 🤙🏽🙌🏽😉
Aloha Michelle and Jose!! I was told that 711 has some Pork adobo and they do have the Ube there so I wanna know what else Filipino stuff they got in there. It's been a while but I always went when I was on the go in College. And yes, I love Jollibee! I even looked up to see if they sell shirts online. Lol. The chicken sandwich is a must and I hope they have the Haupia and Taro here when you visit next time. The Thai Walls at Starbucks is good but not anything that stands out like the rest here. Hope all is well guys. And I'm about to to depart to India very soon! Have a good rest of your week! 👍🤙😋🇮🇳
Not a fan of McDonalds, but gotta admit the haupia pie, taro pie and apple pie are my favorites. 7-11 in Hawaii is da winnahʻs. I agree their spam musubi is one of the best.
Aloha Sam!! Yup, McDonalds for me was only because it was convenient but I love their Hawaii items. Esp the Haupia, Taro, and Apple Pies my favs. And you and I both when it comes to the 711 Musubis:) Mahalo for sharing 👍🤙😋
I'm at the under 2 years mark now, until I retire back home. I look forward to Hawaii 7-11's. They're crime magnets here on the mainland and not good places go to, food wise or safety wise. But while the Hawaii 7-11's are not as nice as the ones in Japan, they're tons better than the mainland ones.
Aloha Alex, I still have to explore more of Asia's 7-11s. And yes, Hawaii is a little safer than many areas and in less than 2 years, 711 will still be here so please enjoy when you do retire soon!😋🤙👍
Aloha Fellow RU-vidr!! That's you and I both. I love me some Jollibee chicken sandwich. And Haupia is good. 😋👍🤙Please tell Do, Vin, and Bella I said hi🤙👍
Aloha Sean! My wife showed me your videos & I have to say they are both entertaining & informative. You’re the most genuine hawaii food & travel youtuber I’ve seen. The food & places you show are all nostalgic for us (my wife & I). We moved here in the mainland back in ‘04 but we try to visit the island at least every 1-2 years because we still have families there. Anyways, more power to your channel..mabuhay & mahalo!🤙🏽
Aloha Pinoy Reaper!!! I appreciate your kind words, and please tell your wife that we said hi! We try our best and glad our viewer's appreciate it. Hope your able to visit the islands more and eat at all the good places with your Ohana! Mabuhay and Aloha right back to you!:)🤙👍😋
7-11 here I come!!! Just came back from the 9th island and coming back home to a different planet!!! 7-11 got Walmart's idea. Instead of Made in China, it's Made with Aloha.
Another great video! I was looking for the taro pie at McDonalds but it was not available anywhere, Is it just seasonal? I don't remember seeing the haupia pie last summer either. I'm hoping to try them both this summer!
Aloha Catherine!! Mahalo for watching and both the Taro and Haupia Pie are seasonal, unfortunately. Hope they make it permanent! Hope you visit soon!:)🤙😋👍
Sean Pare , how are you , All the positive vibes to you both , my wife and can't wait to watch all the beautiful local food you share with Us. I need to visit just for the local food places. Thank you both From the Ramos Family , here in the cool waters of Monterey California area 🌊🚜..... 🤙🏻❤🤙🏻 See you on your next one....
Aloha J R from Oahu to Monterey California !! We always appreciate hearing from you and hope you get to visit here soon and try all the local eats. Mahalo again Ramos Ohana👍😋🤙
Aloha Sean and Nhi 👋 Love these Hawaii only finds , we will be looking out for them😋 My wifey Gemma told me, she secretly reached out to both of you , hoping for you join us on a Catamaran Sunset cruise in Waikiki but you will be in India when we are on your island 🏝 We will be looking forward to your India videos of all the sights , sounds and smell of what India has to offer. When you have plans to visit Australia, namely Sydney , please reach out to us for catch up and a day trip up to our Blue Mountains and see the Three Sisters with some food stops 😋 You got to have a Meat Pie here ..Lol. Any way , you travel very soon and we arrive next Thursday , Can’t wait 😛 Cheers Rod and Gemma , Mahalo 🤙🌴🌺✈️
Aloha Rod, always good hearing from you. And yes, your wife reached out to me and I told her that I would be in India at that time. So when you said my wife told me you're going to India, I put 2 and 2 together and realized Gemma was your wife since I only told 2 ppl at that time. I wish I could join you guys for a Catamaran Sunset! And yes, India videos will be coming after our trip! And when we do make it out to Australia. I'll def let you know. I plan on going to the Blue Mountains and I wanna go to Tasmania. I still believe the Tasmanian Tiger exists:):) Enjoy your time here next week and Mahalo again for supporting us local RU-vidrs. 👍🤙
If you ever make your way up N(this way-lol)...checkout Mam's Bread & Butter, bakery that specializes in NZ meat pies! Have yet to sample her wares...and eye intend to soon! Food Fiend Hawaii did taste test about 6-8 mos.back....
@@harrymiram6621 Hi Harry , yes you got to try the Meat Pie ! It’s comfort food here in Australia if we do a road trip 😋 I did see Misty grab a meat pie and enjoy it. I put a little meat pie video on my YT channel, have a look at it. There is nothing better then covering the top with sauce and biting into it. Nearly all our bakery’s here make meat pies (some better then others) and usually have a wide variety of pies. One of my favourites if they have it , is the Pea Pie - the Pea Pie is pastry filled wth chunky meat and thick gravy with a layer of peas, covered flakey pastry.
Aloha Paul!! Oh please eat all the local grindz here if your hungry😋🤙😂. And we are excited about India. Mahalo for watching until the end. Have a great weekend!:)🤙
McDonald's haupia pie!!! So good!! 👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 Awesome video!!🤙🏽I definitely want to try 7-11's food though. Have you ever tried the food at The ABC Store, especially the one on Lewers Street in Waikiki, by the Imperial Hawaii resort? They have a kitchen in the back of the store and serve alot of hot foods. Pretty good! 👍🏽
Aloha Liz!!! Awww Mahalo for always supporting our channel! And thr Haupia Pie is soo good!:):) I know exactly where that ABC Stores on Lewers is. I'll try their hot foods next time. Thanks again friend😋🤙👍
Nice! I love haupia pie. I also think Jolibee has the best chicken sandwich but for some reason I dont like their fried chicken. I love their mango pie though. Cant go wrong with 7-11 but that kulolo looked sad. 😂 Have a blast in India! Dont get Dehli Belly!
Aloha Misty!! Haupia Pie is def my favorite here and I never tried the fried chicken and Mango yet from Jollibee so I'll put that on the list. The Kulolo wasn't good but only there. And.. I'm def getting a belly when we hit the markets at Delhi. I was told the food was good and cheap too so I can't wait! I look forward to your next video. 🤙😋👍
@@SeanKaleponi I hope you get a full belly in India! Delhi belly is slang for traveler's diarrhea. Kind of like Montezuma's Revenge in Mexico. 🤣 But usually it's from the tap water or ice. Don't drink anything with their ice. I'm excited to see your content from India! Safe travels.
@Food Fiend Okay good you mentioned that. Because I was about to to start the street food tour saying I want to have a delhi belly by the end of it. Lol!! Mahalo Misty🤙👍
Another awesome video guys!! everything you guys do is just one step above from what I usually see. I love the Haupia, Taro, and many of those 711 items, esp the Haupia Slurpee!!:):) and I agree, the Jollibee chicken sandwich is my favorite!! Have a safe trip to India!! Cant wait to see some videos!!:):)
Aloha Crucial Thinker!!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel and yes, the Haupia and Taro Pies are the best and I live Jollibee chicken sandwich. Well make India videos for sure!!:) Thanks again🤙👍😋
Awesome Sean! The McDonald's bit was cool it is always a stop. What is it about 7-Elevens and Gas stations for really cool Hawaiian treats? Especially mochi! The best part of watching these videos with my family is that I end up watching them numerous times, it's a lot of fun! Another great video Sean! Can't wait for the next! 😃🤙
Aloha Charles!! Mahalo for always supporting our channel! And yes, we got some cool Hawaiian treats at 7 11s and our gad stations. Sometimes, I take it for granted . Please tell your Ohana we said hi!! Hope all is well!!👍🤙😋
Love your channel Brah! Keep bringing in the good content. My father and I can't stop watching your videos because we stay here in Seattle and miss the local food in Hawaii 🙂🤙🏼
LOL funny because my husband is a local boy, born and raised and does not like SPAM!!!! I am from California and my family and I are always saying how he is like the MOST non local local we know!! he doesn't like poke either, does not like loco moco! Sometimes I feel like I am more of a local than him and I have only been in Hawaii for a yr!
Aloha Ying!!! Mahalo for watching and what? Maybe Spam is not his preferred choice but I'm always curious to know why someone doesn't like a product that is loved by so many so I usually ask a couple questions. Someone told me they prefer Aokis Shave Ice more than Matsumoto. So I asked many questions after to see if they were just saying it to say it. Lol. Awww that's all good. I'm sure he likes man other local foods we love too!:) Hope all is well Ying!!!
@@SeanKaleponi LOL you are right, spam is not his preferred choice, it is Portuguese sausage. Aokis Shave ice, I have not had that, I will have to check it out but yes, I like Waiola Shave ice more than Matusmoto! He loves kalbi short ribs, chicken katsu, and zippy's Mac salad, those are his local favorites.
Great video. Chik-fil-e is the best chicken sandwich. Sadly i suppose you'd have to go to the mainland to get it. I like how the sauce is on the size so it doesnt get soggy. Hawaii MCD has pineapple option for their burgers since the early 90s at least, but paniolo breakfast never had spam, only portagee sausage.
Aloha Deal Man! I like Chik fil A too but maybe I'm bias and like the Jollibee mascot too much! Lol but yes, just like what TitasMom said, we have em here on Oahu and cool, didn't know that McD had the Pineapple option on the early 90s. I would like to see the history of McDonalds in Hawaii!🤙👍
