wally ho's

I had heard about Wally Ho's last year. There was an event called Oahu Dines. Restaurants participating in the event would donate monies to the Life Foundation and Wally Ho's was one of the restaurants participating. I didn't get around to eating there, so I made a mental note to try it on this trip home.

This place used to be a full-service service station, now they do repairs and they also serve up some good local food.

I met my friend, Tom for lunch. The place was packed but we were lucky to be able to get a seat (there are only 7 tables).

I ordered a mini version of "Lynn's Awesome Meat" (US $7.95) this is a marinated steak cooked to your liking. The plate comes with mac or tossed and you can choose brown or white rice too. This was definitely worth ordering, though the mac salad was a bit too mayonnaise-y for me.

Tom ordered the mini version of fried poke (US $10.95). This also came with mac or tossed and a scoop of rice (brown or white).

The mini plates are a dollar less than the regular sized plates. And the regular plates have two scoops of rice. We were surprised at the size of the mini. It was actually just right for our appetites.

As we were leaving, my eye caught on the words "homemade" and "baked goods". I picked up their lemon bar and super fudgy brownie (US $3 each). I love homemade things and these were very good.

So, if you are driving along Kam Highway, and getting hungry, stop in for some ono(delicious) local food. You won't be disappointed.
