Message From go!’s CEO

Aloha,

I have always loved anything that has to do with transportation, from my first Hot Wheels set to trikes, bikes, cars—yes, I’m a collector—to the airline I’m proud to run today. What makes me prouder still is the generosity of my employees and their willingness to give back to the communities we serve. That’s why I’m pleased to announce that once again go!, Hawai‘i’s low fare airline, is honored to sponsor two bicycle rides for charity on two of Hawai‘i’s most beautiful islands. The first is the go!Big or Go Home Ride, which takes place on the Big Island of Hawai‘i from August 2-4 and benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Society. This event takes riders on a breathtaking journey through volcanic rock landscapes, past spectacular ocean views and paniolo ranches, and through historical towns reminiscent of old Hawai‘i. On day one, riders bike through the northern coast from Waikoloa through Hawi and up to Kapa‘au and back on. On day two, they head down to Kailua-Kona and back. Both days cover parts of the Ironman Triathlon Bike route, and participants stay at the world-renowned Hilton Waikoloa Village where they will enjoy the spirit of aloha in first class accommodations. Even before they arrive at the hotel, participating riders will enjoy first class service on go!—and so will their bicycles. In addition to a great low fare, we are bringing each rider’s bicycle to Kona for free. For more information on this great event please visit iflygo.com.    go! is also a proud sponsor of Malama Pono Health Services’ Paradise Ride Kauai on August 3-4, which donates proceeds to educate and support those dealing with HIV/AIDS, STDs, and infectious hepatitis. Paradise Ride Kauai (“PRK”) is a fully supported, 2-day bike ride on the island of Kaua‘i. This is an amazing ride—not a race—through some of Kaua‘i’s most breathtaking scenery, along the ocean, through valleys, local neighborhoods, and open countryside. Again, we offer special fares for riders and will gladly transport their bikes for free. All of us at go! hope you will choose to participate in one of these special events and choose us for your interisland travel partner this summer.

Aloha and Mahalo for choosing go!,

Jonathan OrnsteinChairman & CEOgo!

Ask any local who has spent time away from Hawai‘i what they missed most, and you’re bound to hear the same answer time and time again: the food. Salty-sweet shoyu pokē, gravy-smattered loco mocos, soft manapuas, shave ice. For anyone growing up in Hawai‘i, it’s easy to recall the comfort of slurping hot saimin noodles on a rainy day, the exuberance of eating two scoops rice and mac salad without judgment, and the craving for chili-chicken mix plates at 2 a.m. These food treasures are the result of the influx of immigrant workers to Hawai‘i during the Plantation Era, which created a melting pot of diversity in culture, language, and food. The Chinese were the first laborers to Hawai‘i, followed by Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, and Portuguese. After days of working in the fields, communal meals were shared among these ethnic groups: Chinese dim sum and stir fry, Japanese bento and tempura, Korean kim chee and marinated meats, Portuguese sweet breads, Filipino adobo, and Hawaiian fish and poi. A century later, 12 chefs came to define Hawai‘i’s new culinary landscape. Known as Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine, this movement melded the island’s freshest local ingredients with a rich ethnic culture established years ago. Today, a new set of fresh faces are once again redefining how Hawai‘i eats with always-changing, unfussy, but ever delicious food. It’s shaping up to be an exciting—and yummy—future for Hawai‘i.

Enjoy this issue.

This time of year we always see the Hawaiian Hawks circling in the sky, but I was able to get these exceptionally close pictures one day when this particular hawk had its eye on our chickens. I heard him screeching from our cabin, and when I went up to investigate I saw the hawk sitting perched on a tree, just outside the coop. He seemed to be more interested in terrifying the chickens than actually slaughtering them.

K AT H L e e N N A S H , C A r L S b A D , C AWhen I was on Kaua‘i last month I spent a couple of nights photographing the taro fields and the Nene geese running around everywhere.  I love the Nene geese; I love the taro fields on the North Shore near Hanalei. The light was just perfect, and the taro fields do a good job of showing the beauty of this island.

Food Culture

A few decades ago, several chefs, writers, critics, investors and foodies created a movement that came to define food culture in Hawai‘i. Known as Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine, a small group of chefs that included the likes of Roy Yamaguchi and Alan Wong changed the way locals, as well as the rest of the world, thought about food in Hawai‘i. Today, a new set of up-and-comers are once again redefining how we eat in Hawai‘i, with innovative young chefs culling inspiration from around the globe, as well as family heritage. It is an exciting time for food culture in Hawai‘i, and local chefs will continue to change the way we think about our food.

Serious lover of food

1. GO-TO pOkē spOT:There are many options for pokē and Hawaiian food, but Fort Ruger Market (3585 Alohea Ave.) is my favorite because 1) they consistently have good fish, 2) they mix your pokē order to personal specifications, 3) 95 percent of the time they have opihi in stock, and 4) I have an affinity for small, family run businesses.

2. FaVORiTE FOOd aNd bEsT plaCE TO GET iT:My gut right now is telling me pizza, and the answer for where is a no brainer: V-Lounge (1344 Kona St.). Their dough is made from scratch daily, and their Prima, topped with truffle oil and egg yolk, is unreal.

3. bEsT laTE NiGHT EaTs: Liliha Bakery (515 N. Kuakini St.) is one of the last mom-and-pop diners in Hawai‘i. Their butter rolls are pretty much everyone’s artery-clogging, favorite thing in the world. And don’t even get me started on their pastries...

4. ONE THiNG yOu COuld EaT EVERy day FOR THE REsT OF yOuR liFE:Kotteri ramen from Tenkaippin (617 Kapahulu Ave). Answering the why portion of this would involve me explaining why we need air to breathe or eyes to see.

5. bEsT GRab aNd GO:There is always something for everyone at Zippy’s. Recently, my go-to has been spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side.

6. bEsT spluRGE:Not that it’s expensive, but I always end up ordering a bunch of dishes at Brasserie Du Vin (1115 Bethel St.) because the food is so delicious, and so it adds up. Plus the seating outside makes you feel as if you have been transported to a European town. To have the food take you away is one thing, but to feel like you’re not in Hawai‘i anymore is an added bonus.

7. TO saTisFy my swEET TOOTH, i GO TO:The pastries, cakes, chocolates, croissant sandwiches, and jelly drinks at Patisserie La Palme D’Or (Ala Moana Center, near Nordstrom wing) are so addictive that if I’m in the mall, I purposely have to avoid walking by so I don’t go in and order one of everything.

8. EVERy VisiTOR TO Hawai‘i musT TRy: A mixed plate from Rainbow Drive-In (3308 Kanaina Ave.). It never ceases to amaze me how many people have not ever encountered the simple pleasure of two scoops of rice, mac salad, and a meat/fish combo. Also musubi from Mana Bu’s (1618 S. King St.) and Hawaiian food from Helena’s (1240 N. School St.).

Summer in Hawai‘i has a distinct sound. In the past decade, most jams blaring out of lifted trucks at local beaches have been “Jawaiian” love songs, an amalgam of Jamaican and Hawaiian music, in which local musicians vibe out to the easygoing tempos of Jamaican music from the 1970s with uniquely Hawaiian lyrics. For Kimié Miner, the adjective is a badge of honor. When Kimie was in seventh grade on Hawai‘i Island, she, like many local girls, started plucking at her ukulele. She kept at it, and after attending the University of San Diego, met reggae and dancehall legend Barrington Levy. She followed Levy back to his home in Jamaica to learn the ropes of being a lifelong

performer. “I was in Jamaica for five months and learned a whole lot,” she says of working with the influential musician. She moved back home to work on her album To The Sea, which was released in 2011 with the help of countless friends and supporters, both of which are growing in numbers.  Kimie can be heard on local radio in her 2012 single “Shame On You,” dishing on the irritations of a philandering boyfriend. “Everyone asks if it’s about me,” Kimie says with a laugh. “It’s about me and all my friends. I was tired of hearing the same story, so I put it in a song.” What can be missed in the easy flow of the song is how Kimie picks up 21st century local girl slang and R&B inflection. “Nah nah nah nah,” goes the chorus, like a Hawaiian tutu scolding a boy for being a jerk.  For the present, Kimie is busy touring the

West Coast, playing in a variety of venues locally, and working on another album, set to be released in 2014. “I want to reach out to Europe and do more East Coast performances,” she says of the new songs. With her Jamaican-influenced music, Kimie is bringing the soundtrack of a Hawaiian summer to beaches far and wide.

Hawai‘i’s world-renowned beaches can be an idyllic paradise or a beachgoer’s worst nightmare. Drownings are the leading cause of death for visitors to Hawai‘i, and the numbers are spiking. Just four months into the year, and 11 people have drowned on Kaua‘i, nearly triple the amount on the island in 2012.

Visitors are advised to be increasingly mindful of ocean and weather conditions, which can change on a dime. “The biggest thing to remember in the ocean is to stay calm,” says lifeguard Kyle Foyle, who patrols three of Hawai‘i’s most dangerous beaches, Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and Sunset. Foyle, who is certified to teach community members what to do if caught in life-threatening ocean situations, provides some advice on what to do if caught in four such situations.  Situation: Caught in a riptideSolution: Stay calm. Do not swim against the rip. Instead, look which way it is taking you,

and swim perpendicular to that direction (cut a 90-degree angle toward shore if possible) until you no longer feel the pull of the rip. Keep swimming in that direction and breathing calmly until you feel the pull lessen. If too tired to swim, stay afloat by calmly treading water and wave to a lifeguard for help.

Situation: Caught in wind line (getting blown out to sea) while stand-up paddlingSolution: Stay calm. Your body is acting as a sail in the wrong direction, so lie down to a prone position, placing the paddle under your chest and stomach along the line of your SUP board. Angle the board and paddle straight towards

shore. Don’t paddle upwind.  Situation: Caught in large shore breakSolution: Stay calm. If a large shore break wave is coming at you, take a deep breath, and just as the wave breaks in front of you, dive under the white water with your eyes open so you can swim underneath it. You will be able to see underwater once it passes over you and come up for air. Either let the waves push you to shore or swim out a little beyond the waves until the set stops, then swim in when a lull occurs (which, it will, you just have to relax and wait for the right moment). If the sets do not stop, get the attention (waving and screaming) of the lifeguards.

Situation: Sucked into a blowholeSolution: Stay calm. If there’s something to grab on to, like a ledge or rock, grab it to prevent from going deeper into the hole. Tread water with relaxed breathing, and wait for the water to fill back up as high as possible on the next surge before you try to climb up and out.

Kualoa Ranch, established in 1850, is located on 4,000 acres of unspoiled paradise along O‘ahu’s northeastern coast. Family owned and operated, its mission is to serve as a role model and steward of the land by preserving, protect-ing and enhancing Hawai‘i’s natural beauty and culture, while also developing recreational and agricultural enterprises that are compatible with the environment. Recently, Kualoa partnered with Mamoli‘i Productions, which specializes in traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian dances and is led by kumu hula Kui Gape, to present The Legends of Kualoa. The new production showcases the sa-cred land of Kualoa and the four Hawaiian leg-ends of Kahekili, La‘amaikahiki, Kamapua‘a and Kū‘ilioloa, and the battle of Hi‘iaka and Mokoli‘i. Guests will also enjoy a dinner featuring deli-cious hand-carved prime rib, fresh island fish with lemon caper butter sauce, grilled island

chicken, and a selection of sides and dessert. Combination packages with afternoon tours and The Legends of Kualoa tickets are available and offer the opportunity for guests to learn of the legends and legacy of Kualoa’s sacred land, and then see the legends come to life through hula kahiko, an ancient style of hula. The Legends of Kualoa dinner show is avail-able on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Kama‘aina guests can enjoy the experience for $10 off the ticket price ($49 per adult and $39 per child) or combine the dinner show with ranch tours for the ultimate Hawaiian experience. With an array array of jungle and ocean expedition tours, as well as ATV and horseback adventures, Kualoa has something for everyone.

SENDING ALOHA YOUR WAYMakana Boxes

Whether it’s a dog’s barking to salute the arriving mailman, or a beckoning red flag atop the mailbox, a personal letter or care package can feel a little like Christmas all year-round, a reminder of our connection to loved ones. And when work or school transports us to a continent or country far away from our Hawai‘i comforts, we contract the proverbial case of homesickness. Luckily, there’s an aloha medicine to ward off the blues of being abroad: Wei Fang and Kina Mahi’s Makana Boxes, which facilitate the sharing of island sentiments without the collecting and mailing headache. With Makana Boxes, one simply signs up for as little as one month to as much as a year, and subscribers are promptly sent a box filled with goodies sourced from local entrepreneurs, artisans and artists—all made in Hawai‘i. Our island history is unmistakably mapped in the diversity and amalgamation of our food, music, film, literature, and knickknacks. Makana Boxes packs up such goods as Hula Kokeshi dolls, macademia nut tarts from the Big Island, samplings of local music by Na Hoku award-winners, Broke Da Face chili water, and original artwork by local artists and photographers. But it’s more than simply buying local: Each box comes equipped with a pamphlet

explaining the story behind each product. “As many of us don’t live where we grew up, we desire a connection to the makings of home,” says Mahi. The duo has worked in various veins of community development and both share a twofold vision of a company that “supports creative entrepreneurs in Hawai’i and helps the Hawai’i community at large remain linked to local resources.” Mahi continues, “If we lose creative producers, we lose a part of our identity.” The things outside of ourselves are memory’s placeholders. A brown cardboard Makana Box on the doorstep is a testament to the indelible aloha present in us all and the inescapable pining we feel for Hawai‘i.

Subscribe to Makana Boxes for as low as $27 per month and receive a box full of made-in-Hawai‘i gifts. To sign up or for more information, visit hellomakana.com.

Ice cream makes people happy. And making ice cream makes local girl and gelato maker, Mel Bow, happy. “Everybody loves ice cream anyway—you don’t have to convince them,” says Bow when asked why she decided to start a gelato company. “I try to give people ice cream that they can identify with, that speaks personally to them.”

That is the magic of Via Gelato, which is Italian for “street gelato.” A butter-yellow truck, handmade sugar cones, and flavors that only a local would know (but anyone would fall in love with) show the care and consideration that Bow scoops into each cup. A Kahala native, Bow left Hawai‘i for another island, far, far away: Manhattan. After seven years of working as a physical therapist, she discovered her own therapy was coming home after a long day and cooking, sometimes into the wee hours. This prompted her to jump ship and do something that would make her happy, which was making ice cream. Today, selling her cold, creamy treats on the streets of Honolulu and in farmers markets

across the island, her Easter egg colored truck has become synonymous with unadulterated joy. But starting a business of her own hasn’t ex-actly been a cakewalk. Bow hunts for the island’s best ingredients and makes her gelatos by hand, which can be laborious when your flavors include kulolo (a taro, coconut pudding of sorts) and mint chip made from actual mint leaves. Dedicated to sourcing locally, Bow has built her flavors on local ingredients: papayas from Pit Farms, lilikoi from her garden, and fresh milk from grass-fed cows on the Big Island. That’s why you won’t find the same almond cookie gelato you fell in love with in December avail-able in May. Despite solicitations for ginger-bread in July or Mango sorbetto in January, she

From its innovative cuisine to its modern and contemporary décor, the new Chef Chai at Pacifica is a refreshing oasis in Hawai‘i’s dining scene. Known for fusing fresh Hawaiian ingredients with the exotic flavors of Asia, chef Chai Chaowasaree also focuses on offering diners healthier cuisine. “There will be no butter at the new restaurant,” says Chaowasaree, who is recognized

as one of Hawai‘i’s leading chefs. “I want to guide people to eat healthier since, as they say, you are what you eat.” Cutting fat, however, doesn’t mean cutting flavor. The grilled, spicy garlic shrimp summer roll and the Chinese-style steamed fresh catch with sauteed chives and garlic offer bright, bold flavors and fit in with a health-conscious lifestyle. Offering something for everyone, Chef Chai at Pacifica also features a juicy, center-cut filet mignon and hearty Colorado lamb. Chaowasaree believes that healthy cooking is not necessarily being vegan, vegetarian or carb-free. “To me, moderation is key,” he says.

Chef Chai at Pacifica also offers an extensive happy hour menu including items like sun-dried tomato and Puna goat cheese wontons, chicken sate’ with Thai peanut sauce, rosemary garlic pork tenderloin in Chinese bau buns, and fresh oysters served on ice with a lemongrass garlic mignonette. If you are looking for an intimate dinner in a contemporary surrounding, Chef Chai at Pacifica is not to miss.

Chef Chai at Pacifica is located on the ground floor of Honolulu Pacifica, 1009 Kapiolani Blvd. Dinner served nightly from 4-11 p.m. Valet parking available. For more information, or to make a reservation, visit chefchai.com or call 808-585-0011.

There are a few places left in Hawai‘i that technology has not caught up with. Don’t trust your phone or a rental car’s GPS system to direct you the Hawaiian Vanilla Company Mill and Visitors Center on Hawai‘i Island. The ideal way to find the only commercial vanilla farm in America is to arrive at the sleepy town of Pa‘auilo, and then ask for directions from there. The highway drops off quickly while climbing the mountain, the island turning from coastal scrub to verdant green in a beat. The transition between these states happens in the time it takes to change the radio dial, which becomes limited to under a handful of options. Cell phone service cuts out. The road ascends through beams of sunlight that burst

through a portal of eucalyptus trees. You have entered Hāmākua.  This northeastern district of Hawai‘i Island is where sugar plantations once dominated both the land and the economy with rolling fields of cane. In the last several decades, the fertile triangle of Hāmākua has become home to an emerging and diversified agricultural movement. In 1998, Jim Reddekopp, along with his wife Tracy and their five children, started growing vanilla in Hāmākua. “We started with five acres, now we have 20,” says Jim. “We didn’t realize when we started that this life was going to be so much work. We chose something really hard to do. Permits, land use issues, raising kids—it’s all about being part of the development of sustainable agriculture.” Despite the work, there are reasons to get into the vanilla business. The bean trade is

a billion-dollar industry globally, with otherwise small economies such as Madagascar making over half a billion dollars annually. The high sticker price of vanilla is justified: The orchid is a romantically fickle crop, only blooming once a year and is arguably the most labor-intensive plant grown for mass consumption. The Reddekopps put vanilla on everything. When he gets further down the mountain and away from nurturing tender beans, Jim updates a website that gorgeously illustrates Tracy’s latest vanilla-inspired recipe. At the mill’s small shop, there is now more than 70 different high-quality goods being produced in small quantities. The orchid beans are paired with bacon, brussel sprouts, milkshakes, chutney, and salad dressing. Add to that several beauty products and the options to purchase the beans

whole. Patrons can also enjoy gourmet lunches, teas, tastings, and tours. A few years ago, the Reddekopps bought the land around an old slaughterhouse and have become part of a reforestation project that is happening in various parts of the shadow of the great volcano. Other parts of Mauna Kea remain lush national and state forests. “We’ve now got a cottage that can house six,” Jim says. “Showing our lifestyle—that’s the draw. Good cooking where everything is real. The kids are a part of it. We want to create a different experience for people.”  The Vanilla Cottage is now able to accommodate up to six guests at a time. “You couldn’t get internet access up here if you tried,” Jim says with a laugh. “We intend to create an off-the-grid experience. We can feed you well, and hopefully you’ll plant a tree.” If you stay the

night, expect vanilla to be in every meal, but don’t expect the ability to update your social media with pictures of your food snaps until descending through the portal of eucalyptus back to the highway. The Redekkopps want you to experience pure vanilla, extracted from your everyday life. Hawaiian Vanilla Co. is located at 43-2007 Paauilo Mauka Rd.

Winter swells bring massive waves to Hawai‘i’s shores. Thundering waves can be as large as 20 feet (translating to a wave face height of more than 30 feet) and oftentimes even larger. Tow-in surfing, as shown here at Kaua‘i’s Kekaha Beach Park, utilizes a motorized vehicle such as a jetski or helicopter to be able to catch waves that were once thought uncatchable. Waves of this height move at 30 to 40 mph, making it nearly impossible to pick up enough speed to manually paddle into the wave.

CONNECTIVE ROOTS

Mark Noguchi, chef and owner of catering consultancy Pili Hawaii and proprietor of Taste, a pop-up concept restaurant, is cultivating

community through yummy, locally-sourced food.

CHOKED BY INVASIVE CALIFORNIA GRASS. “It used to be so overgrown,” Noguchi says of the lo‘i kalo (taro patch) when he first came in to work the area two years ago. “And so it’s just incredible to see two lo‘i grow into five. If you take an aerial photograph of the area now, it’s one of the largest concentrations of lo‘i kalo in the entire state.”

Together with a hui (group) of volunteers working under a collective called Hanohano He‘eia, “Gooch,” as most know him by, is out on the Windward side of O‘ahu toiling away in the mud in hopes of restoring the vitality of the He‘eia ahupua‘a, the strip of land from mountain to ocean. From the po‘owai, the place where the rainwater comes down the mountain, to the restoration of the lo‘i kalo at Māhuahua ‘Ai o Hoi (where Noguchi is now) and the rebuilding of He‘eia Fishpond, everything is connected. “We realized that these farms share the same water source, He‘eia Stream,” says Noguchi, who works to pack a mound of mud around the base of the kalo. “The unique thing here is that we can see the effects from the top down.” Historically, the lo‘i served as a source of irrigation and flood control, filtering the water

during a heavy downpour and preventing topsoil pollution onto near-shore reefs like He‘eia Fishpond. Through the 1900s, farming in the area diverged from kalo to sugarcane, pineapple, rice, and cattle, and eventually, mangroves were introduced to control the soil erosion and increased runoff the lo‘i were once meant to control. Today, groups like Hanohano He‘eia work to undo the damage done by mangroves and other invasive plants that degrade the productivity of the lo‘i and the fishpond. Restoring the function of the lo‘i will have far-reaching effects on areas from mauka (mountain) to makai (ocean). Noguchi’s work in the lo‘i and at the fishpond is, by no accident, connected to the work he does from his kitchen in Kaka‘ako where he is working to cultivate Pili Hawaii, a catering consultancy, and Taste, a pop-up style eatery that features different chefs rotating menus every quarter. It is through the vehicle of food that Noguchi is able to do what he values

most: community outreach and education. “Local people, you cannot tell us what we need, what we like—especially when it comes to our food,” he says of a lesson he became all too familiar with as the chef of He‘eia Kea General Store & Pier. “What I’ve learned is that if you want to effect change, you have to be sneaky. You cannot stand on a soapbox and scream, ‘Local, organic.’ You have to take something, make it really, really yummy, and have people ask you, ‘Eh, where you wen get dis?’ It’s always about encouraging dialogue.” Noguchi trained at both the Culinary Institute of the Pacific and America and cut his teeth in the kitchens of Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, the Kona Village Resort, Chef Mavro and Town Restaurant. But similar to the slow trickle of He‘eia stream, Noguchi’s journey into food was a meandering one. “I never would’ve thought this is how my life would end up. You talk to a lot of chefs who say they grew up in a house that was rich with Sunday

suppers—no, we didn’t. Sunday special dinners would be shabu-shabu, with mom working all day long. But then mom and dad would end up beefing all night long.” Noguchi struggled in school, getting kicked out of Punahou, then jumping from Assets to Roosevelt to Kalani, until finally finishing up at Kaimuki Community School for Adults; he got into breakdancing and deejaying at 14, and by 16, was spinning alongside the likes of James Coles and Kutmaster Spaz under the moniker DJ Rerun. He ended up following a girl to Hilo, where he was “promptly dumped after two days,” but that move would prove the catalyst that changed everything. “Growing up, I always wanted to hula. I always looked forward to May Day, watching my older cousins dance.” Hilo, home of the famed Merrie Monarch Festival, proved the perfect place to stoke those passions, and for the next seven years, Noguchi would be versed in the values and practices of hula at Halau o Kekuhi. “I had never dedicated to anything in my life like I did to hula,” he recalls. Today, Noguchi still invokes those practices

he learned dancing hula, from the way he sources ingredients to his respect for the land and his understanding of how long things take to grow. Much of what he does now addresses the ever-present topic of food security and how to reduce the islands’ reliance on imported foods, which make up about 90 percent of Hawai‘i’s food supplies. And while many balk at the notion of sustaining a ballooning population on local food sources, and subsequently, the high cost of eating that way, Noguchi bites right back. In addition to providing a brick-and-mortar space for incubating young chefs, Noguchi takes a turn at Taste every week showing just what can be done with local ingredients. A salad, for example, will utilize all of its ingredients from local purveyors: farm greens from MA‘O Farms, onions from Ho Farms, ricotta from Naked Cow Dairy, kalua pig from Shinsato Farms, bread from Breadshop. At this year’s Hawai‘i Food and Wine Festival, he will serve a thousand people he‘e (octopus) freshly caught in Kāne‘ohe Bay by the family of Hi‘ilei Kawelo, executive director of

Paepae o He‘eia, caretakers of He‘eia Fishpond and members of Hanohano He‘eia. “Pili means literally to be connected or intertwined, and a large part of the idea of community is my commitment to local farmers," he says. It is with this in mind that Noguchi finds himself knee-deep in the lo‘i, which is now truly a sight to behold. In just three hours, Noguchi and his group have cleared an entire patch once choked by invasive grass; the fluttering green leaves of the kalo set against the rich brown of muddy earth. For Noguchi, whether in his mini ecosystem of Kaka‘ako or out with the kalo in He‘eia, community is about supporting one’s neighbors and offering help when needed.

MARK NOGUCHI SAVED FROM INVASIVE

GRASS AT MāHUAHUA ‘AI O HOI, A

TARO RESTORATION FARM ON O‘AHU’S

WINDWARD SIDE (SEE PAGE 34), WILL ONE

DAY BE HARVESTED BY KYRIE PUAOI AND

THE TEAM AT KāKO‘O ‘ŌIWI. IT WILL, ONE

DAY, BE PLUCKED FROM THE GROUND,

ALONG WITH AN ENTIRE lo‘i (PATCH) OF

ITS BRETHREN, AND MILLED INTO FRESH

POI. BUT NOT YET. “Our goal is to fill 200 acres with lo‘i,” says Puaoi of the 405-acre plot of land Kāko‘o ‘Ōiwi has been entrusted with by Hawai‘i Community Development Authority. The farmlands at Māhuahua ‘Ai o Hoi (Regrowing the Fruit of Hoi) are a long-range project meant to restore the agricultural and ecological productivity of the wetlands while perpetuating the practices of ancient Hawaiians. For now, they will continue to source taro from offsite locations. The 300 pounds of taro being prepped by Puaoi for poi delivery later in the afternoon has been culled from a number of kalo farmers on Kaua‘i and O‘ahu resulting in what Puaoi calls a “quadruple blend.” There’s poni poni, a wetland variety of kalo that’s super sweet and, as its name means, super purple; ka‘i, a wetland variety that can grow up to the size of a newborn babe and is light grey in color; pili aloha, a sweet variety whose shoots grow together in a family unit, resulting in many smaller-sized taro; and piko, a sweet variety whose heart goes all the way down to the kalo’s piko, or bellybutton. “The Hawaiians knew every little detail about the more than 300 varieties of kalo they used to grow,” says Puaoi, who serves as Kāko‘o ‘Ōiwi’s program manager. “And now we have less than a hundred left, but we can try to learn

a little bit about them. That’s what this is all about, giving people a chance to really learn about what they’re eating. Because kalo is the food of the Hawaiian people, our cultural connection of where we come from. To be consuming a food with that in mind helps you to be rooted, helps all of these farms to exist and grow, and ultimately helps to keep the culture alive.” Keeping that culture alive is an involved task. After steaming the kalo on propane stoves the night before and spending hours peeling the tough skin from the purple root the morning after, the team then mills the kalo into poi and pa‘i‘ai (basically poi without the added water), and bags it by hand. The final result is available for pickup at the farm or dropped off for door-to-door delivery in downtown Honolulu and surrounding areas, a poi delivery program that has grown exponentially since its inception. But there is still plenty of work to be done to get the land primed for planting and harvesting kalo. When Puaoi first got involved with Kāko‘o ‘Ōiwi two-and-a-half years ago, the entire area was covered with invasive California grass and choked by mangrove trees. “From the time I started, the third lo‘i was just being opened up, but now there’s about nine or 10,” she says. “You know when you have such a big project in front of you, it’s hard to see anything happening. ... But this is the first time I’ve looked out, and I can finally see the future.”

Kāko‘o ‘Ōiwi offers fresh poi ($5 per lb.) or pa‘i‘ai ($5 per 1/2 lb.) available for pickup or delivery. Sign up for their newsletter to receive weekly updates and instructions. For more information, visit kakoooiwi.org.

With sugar, pineapple, coffee, and

industries during haWai‘i’s plantation

era (1848 to 1954), the need for labor

greW exponentially.

The Chinese were the first laborers to Hawai‘i, followed by the Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Portuguese. After days of working in the fields,

communal meals were shared among ethnic groups: Chinese dim sum and stir fry, Japanese bento and tempura, Korean kim chee and marinated meats,

Portuguese sweet breads, Filipino adobo, and Hawaiian fish and poi. Today, the mixed plate has

come to represent the melting pot of cultures found in Hawai‘i, consisting of two scoops rice, mac salad and anywhere from two to four options that may

include beef stew, kalua pig, pokē, chicken katsu, fried noodles, roast pork, shoyu chicken, barbeque beef, or

hamburger steak. The options are truly limitless.

The perfect cold treat for a hot summer day, shave ice has become one of those things synonymous

with Hawai‘i, towering high in rainbow hues of lilikoi, blue vanilla, strawberry, and coconut, with goodies like ice cream, azuki beans or mochi balls buried deep beneath. Shave ice has a long history in the islands dating back to the plantation days when Japanese immigrants came to Hawai‘i for work and brought with them kakigori, as they called it, but its origins date back even further than that. During the Heian period from 794

to 1185 A.D., ice would be brought down from mountains and stored in caves and was considered

a rare luxury reserved for royalty. The shave ice that we know today is thought to have been

invented in Yokohama in the 1860s. It was brought in the 1920s to Hawai‘i by Japanese immigrant

workers who would shave flakes of ice into cups with machetes. Today, ask any local, and you are sure to hear different answers for where the best shave ice can be found. Of course these answers depend on the sweetness of syrups used to the

texture of the ice.. Though Matsumoto’s and Waiola are go-to options for most, the distinctly Asian varieties found at Your Kitchen in Kaimuki

(1423 10th Ave) or Ice Garden in Aiea (99-080 Kauhale St.) are also must-try treats

When Korean immigrants came to Hawai‘i in the early 1900s, they brought kimchee and built barbecue pits to cook their beloved bulgogi and

other marinated meats like the ever-popular galbi, or kalbi. Not to be confused with Japanese yakiniku, which similarly grills marinated meats

atop hot coals, Korean barbecue has become a staple of local eats with places like Millions,

Sorabol, Shillawon, and Choi’s Garden remaining ever popular. But it’s at Yakiniku Don-Day (905 Keeaumoku St.) that one might envision how

plantation workers felt eating under the stars years ago. The only outdoor Korean barbecue in Hawai‘i, Don-Day is as charming as it is delicious. Set under

a large tree, a warm glow given off by hanging lights, diners can enjoy sumptuous morsels of

beef brisket, thick strips of curried pork belly, and thin slices of beef tongue being grilled tableside. After a quick grill change, spicy pork filets sizzle

away and go great with the kimchee being grilled alongside. The best part: the outdoor seating

prevents that smoky smell from being absorbed into hair and clothes.

Saimin, to be Sure, iS quite

Different from ramen.

The Chinese call it a product of Japanese ramen and the Japanese call it a product of Chinese mein, but one thing is certain: it’s uniquely local. Derived from the Chinese sai, meaning thin, and min, meaning noodle,

saimin arose out of the plantation era when different ethnicities gathered together around communal type meals and mixed komoboko, Spam, green onions, and egg with soft noodles in hot dashi (broth). Saimin has become

so popular that even McDonald’s serves their own variety, though preferred noodle joints include Zippy’s, Palace Saimin, Dillingham Saimin or Nakai Saimin (1329 Nuuanu Ave.), whose homemade noodles are shown here.

Solicited to work in Hawai‘i plantations in the late 1800s, Portuguese immigrants brought with them

such cultural treasures as the ukulele, linguiça (what locals know simply as Portuguese sausage), Portuguese bean soup, and of course, malasadas, fried balls of dough covered in granulated sugar.

Malasadas were eaten frequently on Shrove Tuesday, the same day as Fat Tuesday, when

consumption of indulgences are allowed for in preparation for Ash Wednesday and Lent. From

carnivals and fairs to family-owned bakeries, like the kind shown here from Leonard’s Bakery (933

unmistakable waft of fried goodness.

According to Rachel Lauden in her book, The Food of paradise:

Exploring hawaii’s Cultural heritage, today’s modern-day pokē, is a mash-up of Hawaiian, Japanese, and local tastes. Traditionally, Hawaiians enjoyed their fish raw, seasoned with salt and seaweed, and served whole or lomi style (mashed with the fingers). They also preferred reef fish to the deep-ocean fish caught by Japanese, who mixed in shoyu (soy sauce) to create the taste we’ve become familiar with today. It’s thought that the use of ingredients like sesame oil, onion, and hot chilis were added by locals in the 1970s. Today, pokē is often made from tako (he‘e in Hawaiian, or octopus), crab, salmon, mussels or tofu. It’s ubiquitous in Hawai‘i, found in grocery stores, fish markets, restaurants both fancy and casual, and no pā‘ina (party) or pau hana is complete without it.

I love hotdogs. Always have, always will, especially when the frank is a little burnt on the outside and served up wedged between a fluffy bun with just the right blend of ketchup, mustard, and relish … Oh

man! Still, whereas I salivate just thinking about wieners, the idea of consuming this processed mystery meat is enough to send some people straight to the toilet. Why is this? Why do we let our perception of different dishes have such a profound affect on their palatability?

Hawai‘i is a cultural melting pot, where diverse cuisines from around the world are

readily available at every corner of the island. With access to ethnically rich dishes,

eaters shouldn’t be afraid to break out of their cultural barriers and be the unbiased

omnivore that they were intended to be. Open your mind and try something out of

the ordinary. In doing so, you will become more culturally aware, and perhaps this

little eating exercise will alter your perception of culinary reality.

Dinuguan

Dinuguan is a Filipino stew that consists of pig blood and meat. Its savory, somewhat gritty gravy is

simmered with a medley of garlic, peppers, vinegar, sugar, and salt, and

authentic recipes typically call for combinations of stomach, intestines,

ears or snout.

Dark in appearance, Dinuaguan is sometimes sensually referred to as chocolate meat. If you’re feeling bloodthirsty, you can find this dish at Alonzo’s at the Mililani Golf Club (95-176 Kuahelani Ave.), but if the pork blood and intestines don’t please your palate, Alonzo’s offers other yummy Filipino fare, including lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly) and the meanest pork adobo fried rice omelet you’ll ever have. Just beware of hungry golfers.

chicken feet

Chicken feet are most commonly associated with Chinese, Filipino,

Jamaican, and South African cuisine. As there are many small bones in the foot, chicken feet can be difficult to

consume, but the meaty tendons, skin, and muscle that make up the tasty

talon is worth the effort.

Chicken feet are often served in soups, deep fried, or stewed and simmered in a beany,

sugary sauce. Don’t expect to find this poultry plate at KFC. Chicken feet are common on dim sum menus, so look for it at Chinese eateries, such as Hee Hing Restaurant (449 Kapahulu

Ave.), which offers spicy braised chicken feet for $2.75 a kick.

natto

A traditional Japanese cuisine, natto is made from fermented soybeans. This slippery, smelly food has a somewhat rotten taste and is most commonly served as a breakfast item with rice and shoyu, though it is also often used in curries, omelets, miso soup, salads, sushi, and even spaghetti.

Natto has also been linked to numerous health benefits, including reduction of blood clots and prevention of strokes, heart attacks, and some cancers. For a painless introduction to natto, stop by Gyotaku, with locations in Pearl City, Honolulu, and Hawai‘i Kai (visit gyotakuhawaii.com for directions), and order the “nattochos.” In this Japanese play on nachos, crispy wonton strips are topped with spicy, ahi onion pokē, avocado, yama-imo (mountain potato), green onion, daikon sprouts, nori, sesame seeds, and, of course, natto. The combination of ingredients downplays natto’s otherwise strong flavor, allowing for newbies to experience its flavor in a subtler manner.

JellyfiSh

Jellyfish, popular in East Asian cuisine, is a bland, slippery, gelatinous food

that, similar to tofu, absorbs the taste of whatever it is being cooked with.

Jellyfish can be eaten dried, fried, marinated or cured and can be found at multiple

Vietnamese and Chinese eateries on the island. I recommend visiting The Mandalay (1055 Alakea St.) located downtown, for an

appetizer of marinated jellyfish with pig’s feet.

But what’s even more amazing to me than the food I’m currently shoveling in my mouth is how Roy’s manages to stay relevant and delicious to a fickle eater whose tastes are continually changing.

chef Chris Garnier as it is by local purveyors, including the fishermen trolling the blue waters just outside. On any given night, patrons coming for namesake Roy Yamaguchi’s “originals,” like the macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi or the Hawaiian-style blackend ahi, might be swayed by local offerings that were still swimming only hours before. Today, Garnier is waiting on a local catch of ‘opelu, which he’ll serve just the way locals like it: pan-fried to a delicate crisp, moist on the inside, and with two chopsticks for sharing. Garnier says ‘opelu, once a highly-prized fish put under kapu by the ali‘i chiefs of old Hawai‘i, now mainly used as bait, is plentiful even right along the shore of Maunalua Bay. But you won’t find the tasty appetizer on menus at other Roy’s locations. While Yamguchi’s originals are served at all 31 locations around the world, “the rest is up to us,” says Garnier. “That’s the biggest thing that Roy stressed to all his chefs, for each chef to create unique dishes of their own where they are.” So Hawai‘i Kai may be serving a slow braised beef short rib, while Waikīkī serves a grilled

swordfish—it’s completely up to the individual executive chefs to decide. Garnier has been with Roy’s since 1991. He started off as a busboy at the original Hawai‘i Kai location and eventually worked his way up to become corporate sous chef, where he helped opened restaurants in Guam, Pebble Beach in California and Seattle. While Garnier received an associate degree in Kapi‘olani’s Community College’s culinary education program, he credits what he calls an education by way of “blood, sweat and tears” training in the kitchens of Roy’s for teaching him to be a chef. When the executive chef position opened up in Hawai‘i Kai, Yamaguchi promoted from within, as he is known to do, naming Garnier to the position. “In 1997, I left Roy’s to work at the Kahala Mandarin [when it was called that at the time],” says Garnier, “but it was only for a couple months because it really is all about the ‘ohana here. And I really missed that about Roy’s.” Like a perfectly sous vide leg of lamb, cooked at low temperature for a long period of time, Roy’s is a culinary institution that

has staying power, utilizing the talents of its younger chefs to create consistently beautiful food that is imbued with the aloha spirit that always reminds locals and visitors alike of Hawai‘i. “It’s been a long journey,” says Garnier. “I started here at Roy’s, left for 13 years, and thought I was going to call California my home. Then Roy brought me back here and as soon as I got off the plane, I was like, yeah, this is home.”

Diamonds, they say, are a girl’s best friend, but it’s rubies that hold the glittering crown jewel in my heart—a discovery I made after a recent visit to The Spa at Trump Waikiki to indulge in a true rarity: their luxurious gemstone spa treatments.

The Spa at Trump’s gemstone treatments are exclusive to the luxury hotel collection, offering serenity and healing through precious gemstone-infused oils. These rich oils, made by Shiffa and brought in from Dubai, contain actual particles of diamonds, emeralds, rubies or sapphires, alongside a powerful mix of essential oils. While most massage oils contain only about 10 percent essential oils with the rest being made up of carrier oils (almond, sesame, olive, etc.), these gemstone oils are made up nearly entirely of essential oils, making them incredibly luxurious and especially potent. Basically they

do what they say they will. Upon arriving at the spa, I am immediately asked, “What is your intention?” Purify, balance, revitalize, calm, heal. A tray is brought out, the gemstone oils clinking softly against each other, and I am soon taken on a sensory journey to discover my inner intent: ruby to revitalize, sapphire to calm, diamond to balance, gold or emerald to purify. I opt for the revitalizing rubies, the deep reds of the ruby and refreshing scents of primrose and rose hip meant to revitalize the body and clear negativity to reveal an uplifted inner self. I am led into the massage suite, and the next 90 minutes are like a dance, the choreographed repetitions and smooth strokes of my masseuse intertwined beautifully with the sweet floral aromatherapy of the oils. From the top of my head to the soles of my feet, the tension from my muscles is released, the stresses of the day melt away with each well-intentioned stroke. After the massage, I notice something profound. I am amazed that the calm, almost sluggish feeling that often comes after a

long massage is completely unapparent. The rubies had indeed done their job. My mind is focused, my heart is uplifted; I am renewed and unequivocally revitalized.

In addition to the gemstone spa treatments, The Spa at Trump Waikiki offers exclusive Hawaiian treatments using plant sources like kalo (taro), kukui nut, and Hawaiian sugar cane. The Spa at Trump Waikiki extends a 10 percent kama‘āina and military discount on all services, as well as free validated parking. Like “The Spa at Trump Waikiki” on Facebook for specials and promotions.

A form of celebration and a means of self-expression, the art of tattooing has been practiced for hundreds of years here in the islands, and so it makes sense that the Pacific Ink and Art Expo will be taking place for a second year here in Hawai‘i. Tattoo culture from more than 500 artists of all styles, including Samoan and Tongan to American and Oriental Traditional, will be on display from such no-table artists as Rick Walters, Oliver Peck, Roman Abrego, and Keone Nunes. The event will also feature live art and music, bike and car shows, and for the first time ever a body suspension exhibition.

The Pacific Ink & Art Expo happens August 2-4 at the Neal Blaisdell Center. For more information, visit hawaiitattooexpo.com.

OPAH (Moonfish)

Opah is referred to as moonfish in Hawai‘i. These fish

are rich in oil and flavor, often served raw (sashimi) or

prepared using recipes that feature broiling or sauteing

methods. Like the mahimahi, this fish is a standard in

the seafood section of menus in both diners and upscale

restaurants. This deepwater fish has been winning a

large fan base with kitchens in both island households

and fine dining establishments.

Hawai‘i moonfish is a rich source of protein, niacin,

vitamin B6, vitamin B12, phosphorus and selenium. It

is also low in sodium. Hawai‘i moonfish also provides

about 1800 mg of omega-3s (DHA and EPA) per 4-ounce

serving of fresh fish.

S T e A M e D O pA H

Ingredients:

2 6 to 8 oz. Opah fillets

4 Tbsp. fresh ginger, cut julienne style 

2 Tbsp. fresh green onions cut julienne style

4 Ti leaves (optional)

2 tsp. soy sauce

4 tsp. water

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges

Asian Dressing:

3 Tbsp. peanut oil

2 garlic cloves, diced

2 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated

3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro leaves

 

Line an oven safe casserole dish with Ti leaves. Place

Opah on Ti leaves. Salt and pepper fish fillets to taste.

Over the fillets, place ginger and fresh green onions.

Add soy sauce and water. Place casserole dish into a

stovetop steamer and cook over medium high heat for

10 minutes. Remove plate/casserole from steamer and

set aside.

Asian Dressing: Combine peanut oil, garlic and ginger

and bring to medium heat. Heat oil, sliced garlic, and

ginger until sizzling. Drizzle heated oil over steamed

fish. Garnish dish with cilantro. Serve hot with steamed

white rice.
