Enjoy Snacks - Island-Style Snacks
Locally-owned and operated in Hawaii | Hawaii's largest wholesaler of local & Asian snacks since '94.
Waikiki Brew Co.
Waikiki Brewing Company opened its first location in Waikiki in 2015. The seven-barrel brewhouse in Waikiki is capable of producing 1100 barrels a year and was at capacity almost immediately, leading the brewery to start looking for a second location. They found the ideal spot in Honolulu’s historic brewing district in up-and-coming Kaka’ako. The 20-barrel brewhouse and high ceilings have allowed Waikiki Brewing Company to more than quadruple production and become the third-largest producer of craft beer in the state of Hawaii.

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 - 06min - 67 - Kauai Shrimp
Hands down, this is the best shrimp you'll ever taste. Known for its sweet flavor, superior texture and stunning visual appeal, Kauai Shrimp™ is the preferred choice of Kauai's and Hawaii's top chefs. Kauai Shrimp are Pacific White leg shrimp found in the wild from the gulf of California to the western edge of Peru. This shrimp is recognized for its incredible sweetness as we endeavor to replicate the natural environment in which the shrimp are grown. We grow Kauai Shrimp in the most optimum, eco-friendly environment possible and use no chemicals or antibiotics in the breeding, grow out or processing. Our process pure and simple just the way nature intended it. Kauai Shrimp is a vertically integrated shrimp farming facility encompassing 258 acres of former sugar cane fields on the west end of Kauai Hawaii. All breeding, grow out, processing and packaging is handled by Kauai Shrimp. By industry standards our facilities are small, featuring forty, one acre, ponds and eight half-acre ponds with an annual harvest of one million pounds of shrimp. Our processing facility is fifteen minutes from the farm and the shrimp are either frozen at 25 below zero or shipped out fresh, the day of the harvest. All Kauai Shrimp are sold whole, head-on, by the count per pound. Hawaii is an optimum environment for farm-raised shrimp as the sunny weather provides for a year-round growing season. We support over 50 families on the west side of Kauai. We are active in the community donating shrimp used in our breeding production to local organizations that use the shrimp in fundraising efforts. In 2019 that amounted to over 50k in revenue for local charities and organizations in need.

We headed to Hanalei and met with owner Roger Kennedy at Tropical Taco. This popular restaurant started in a 1964 Chevy step van parked at Pine Trees at Hanalei Bay in 1978. The first owner, Gary Zerilla, started with his grandmother’s recipes for beans and salsa. Mike Williams (now riding that endless wave above) and Roger Kennedy bought the business for $5,000 and took on the legacy of this restaurant, keeping the name, the recipes and the famous Chevy van. Forty-four years and counting, they continue to attract tourists and locals with some of the freshest fish tacos I have ever tasted. All of Tropical Taco’s ingredients are prepared fresh each day. All fish is caught by local North Shore fisherman. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aloha! We provide home-style local food for our customers at an affordable price. Our restaurant opened 10 years ago in the historic building that used to be Green Garden restaurant, previously serving the westside community for 72 years. We know times can be tough and the new generation is working hard, 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet sometimes. We believe everyone deserves a well-earned sit down meal that is reasonably priced. We decided to open Unko’s Kitchen to provide Hanapepe with an affordable establishment for young families so they can enjoy more time with their loved ones. We run our business with Love and Aloha that spreads throughout the establishment. Everybody here is treated like family, you will meet old friends and make new ones, either locals or visitors that had traveled far and near. Here at Unko’s Kitchen, our food is homestyle, as if you were cooking for your family at home. Nothing overly fancy, just good-sized, delicious meals at an affordable price. Here at Unko’s, the saying is it’s not “eat till you’re full”, it’s “eat until you’re tired”. We want everyone who leaves here to be full so they can just CHILLAX the rest of the day. If you’re wondering about the pink ribbon in our logo, that is our way to honor and draw attention to Breast Cancer Awareness. This is a cause near to our hearts and it is a part of our family history, we want to bring awareness to it and we remain hopeful that one day a cure will be found.

Liliha Bakery began expansion in 2014, opening its second location on Nimitz Highway, and it's the third and fourth location in the Ala Moana Shopping Center Macy's (March 2019) and the International Market Place in Waikiki (November 2021). Aside from iconic pastries and local dishes, celebration is a big part of the Liliha mission. Custom-designed cakes are offered at the original Kuakini location, using airbrushing techniques for cake decorations. At Liliha Bakery, the smell of fresh chantilly permeates throughout the store, counter seating provides customers with a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of famous local dishes, and customers are offered a selection of 150 baked goods. Some things never change… and at Liliha Bakery, that’s a good thing!

Wed, 23 Mar 2022 - 10min - 50 - Cooking with Chef Wan
Born in Sungai Koyan Felda in Pahang, Chef Wan moved to Kuala Lumpur when he was three years old. At the time, his father was part of the Royal Malaysian Air Force and his family lived at the Sungai Besi base. As the son of a Chinese Singaporean mother and a Malay father, he discovered his passion for entrepreneurship and food selling kuih on the air force base where his father worked. Despite studying to become an accountant, he quit his job to pursue his passion for food and cooking full-time. His perseverance earned him an associate degree in Professional Chef Training and Hotel Management from the California Culinary Academy, San Francisco, and a Ritz Escoffier Diploma (École Ritz Escoffier De Gastronomie Française) from the Ritz Hotel in Paris. Exuding a passion for all aspects of domestic living, Chef Wan has always been synonymous with the latest trends in wellness, cooking, entertaining and decorating. In his capacity as a motivational speaker, he constantly entertains and educates the Malaysian public about the latest trends in these areas using his unique humour and passion.
We had a wonderful time finding the ingredients in Chinatown to prepare Chef Wan’s Grandmother’s Kerabu Udang (Prawn Salad), and then to Kiana’s kitchen to make this special dish.

Thu, 03 Mar 2022 - 14min - 46 - Mahina & Sun's - Executive Bar Czar Christian Taibi
Christian is a true New Yorker. Growing up in an Italian family, he was always surrounded by the most welcoming and loving of friends and it was his family who showed him what is truly means to be a great host. As a young adult Christian found his calling in the night life of NYC. Fascinated by its vast & colorful culture, he navigated his early career working at such legendary night clubs as THE TUNNEL and LIMELIGHT where he was naturally tasked at meeting people and building a guest list to insure the VIP treatment for his customers. Christian eventually found his way down to Greenwich Village in the late 90s where he began his craft behind the bar at THE VILLAGE LANTERN one of the first venues created by THE BOWERY RESTAURANT GROUP. From host to barback he worked his way up the ladder to bartender learning everything he could along the way. During his three years with the company, he met his wife Lisa who was a colleague. By 2018, Chris and his wife Lisa were looking to move closer to her homeland of New Zealand and Hawaii was the perfect compromise. Their dream was to open a bar of their own, but Lisa landed a position at the SURFJACK as Director of Food & Beverage and Chris later followed first as a bar consultant and in the Spring of 2021 joined the team to reopen Mahina & Sun’s. In addition to creating the new cocktail menu, Chris has also created an atmosphere where both visitors and kamaaina can feel at home. His input can be heard in the music played, seen in the lighting of the restaurant, enjoyed in the service of the staff, and felt in the seats of the new bar chairs. For both Christian and Lisa, it is important that guests feel at home and the food and beverage experience emphasize that.
