Nii Superette sounds cool (even if he did get rid of a lot of "the good" stuff). Think we'll check it out next time we're in town.

Awesome!

Great idea Misty showcasing the mom n pop grocery stores. We had a bunch in SF chinatown where I grow up. At least most of your stores are still around. Ours turned into condos and parking lots.

@FoodFiend 2 года назад

That's too bad that they got rid of them. A lot of mom and pop restaurants here are going out of business due to inflation or people buying out their land.

@ladymurasaki370 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing Misty. Luckily my mom & I made pickled mango when I was in Hawaii! I love poke and it’s nice seeing all the different kines.

@alant.541 2 года назад

Just got back from Oahu yesterday and already miss Hawaii. The weather was very nice. The only market we visited was Foodland Farms, so I'll save these for next time. BTW - satisfying my vegan and vegetarian twins was not that bad and finding parking was crazy. Thanks for your many recommendations.

Thank you for another delicious video Misty! 😋😋😋 I absolutely love fried pork cracklings! The prices are cheap in Hawaii on them, you can pay $18.00 a pound here.

@KhunPamela1963 2 года назад

Our family has been going to Nii Superette and Jimmy's Produce (formerly Tsumoto Store) close by for close to 60 years. I'm gonna get those kalamata olives!

@FoodFiend 2 года назад

Awesome! I think you'll like the olives they are in the fridge by the cashier near the poke. Been to the Jimmy's in Kalihi but not the Waipahu one. Gotta check it out. 🤙

Yum.We used to shop at Pacific Market it used to be Food 4 Less.Love when you do the history of places.NII been around for eons there also used to be Tsumotos further down the street on the other corner another Mom & Pop store.There food is better than McDeath.Love you and your channel.🥰😘🌹

@FoodFiend 2 года назад

Wow love that you know what it was before Pacific Supermarket. And yes, say no to McDeath. 🤣

@titasmom678 2 года назад

Yummy looking. Love when you make it to the Leeward side so I can add it to my list of places to try! I sometimes think the 7-11 spam musubi has a little too much rice but it does taste good. Crunchy boiled peanuts over mushy boiled peanuts for sure!

@FoodFiend 2 года назад

Right on! Going to the Leeward side for next week. 🤙

@urs- 2 года назад

Oh my….That Nii Superette is awsome. I rarely go to Waipahu but gonna have to make a trip. We use to go to Fort Ruger market years ago. Good to hear they still serve great poke and and customer service. That was a huge mini poke bowl!! Another great video Misty. Mahalo. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

Dang I loved the craft beers at nii superette! So much variety and right down the street. I’ll go and give their new items a try tho :)

@FoodFiend 2 года назад

Yes I love craft beers. Too bad but I respect the decision.

@readbooks9985 2 года назад

Using chayote in place of green mangoes to make pickled "mango" is just as delicious and maybe even a little better. If young, no need to peel or to deseed.

@seizethedayandlive Год назад

Mmmmm; going to have to try Kamamalu Market; never been there but if the musubis are good, then it'll be a hidden gem 🙂 I'm guessing parking is just street parking so that might be a challenge....

@FoodFiend Год назад

Yes just street parking. It sucks. But they're just simple, old school, no sauce. So if you like sauce you won't like it as much but I enjoyed them. 😊

I want to try everything except the boiled peanuts! I grew up without them and tried them awhile ago, they were canned, and I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t know that was an island treat!

🤣 the peanuts are really goof fresh! I too wouldn't eat them from a can. I totally agree.

Thereʻs a place I want to check out that has tongan food up palolo I think. They have hoosi or horse meat. I sooo want to try. They only have food on the weekends though.

You should go to seafood city in waipahu.

Mahalo for the suggestion Alan. I didn't do it for this video even though I've eaten there many times due to it being a big mainland chain store. But I will put it on my list for the future.
