I forgot to add a sub sandwich, pastrami is the first choice, followed by turkey.

Not being from O'ahu... What the deal on Zippy's Chili? I mean everyone seems to rave about it. I tasted it and didn't care for it.

Oh , But Hershey bars make me feel good too!

I guess it's an Oahu thing, sort of like Loco Moco to Hilo (or the Big Island) or saimin to Kauai.

Or Komoda cream puffs or Tasaka guri guri on Maui!

Yes, must be an Oahu thing. What I have noticed, though, is that I like some Zippy's chili better than others. I once bought zipmeal chili (buy in a bigger container to take home) from Kailua and found it to be more spicy than others. I don't know what the deal was with that.

homemade braised beef brisket with tendon simmered 6 hours in master sauce cantonese style with cold white rice!!

homemade tinfoil laulau weighing in at 2lbs and a foot long with cold white rice plus da tabasco and shoyu!!

Re: What is your "COMFORT" food?

The local style means it's baked with cheese on top. Everything is mixed, the noodles,sauce, ground beef, put it in a pan and bake da buggah...like how they used to serve at school. I think that's what she talking about.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............
My Kane`ohe sweetie makes the stove-top variation (just without the baking step) with elbow macaroni, sauce, ground beef, shredded cheddar --- and she calls it her "Mom's mac & cheese," so I won't confuse it with the yellow stuff. Funny, but I grew up calling that "goulash" (which I know is something different altogether.)

I can’t get enough of spam musubi with kim chee. I have a special way of making my musubi and its gotta be homemade kim chee.

Can’t eat this too often or else

My kumu hula has recently gotten into making her own kim chee - extra-extra spicy! It's fantastic.

I was in that Korean market in the Kapālama Shopping Center on Dillingham, and they were selling 5-pound plastic bags full of red chili powder, the kind that goes into kim chee. Wow! I'd never seen bags like that before.

I don't know. I'm born and raised in Oahu but I don't think their chili is good. its alright but there are so many other chili that is better.

Same goes with S&S saimen. So many other better choices out there even if you are limited to Honolulu or home cooking.

Hope no one is offended though. Its not meant to speak badly of your fondness of a specific food.

Maybe its more of a sentimental thing like Kikaida? Great memories but you realize what it lacks in retrospect.

Yeah - in retrospect, Kikaida made crappy chili...
