Hi, I'm new to this wonderful site. Been in Vegas now since 1995 and counting the days until I have enough money to move back home. Just wanted to add what local food I missed the most. I actually keep a dynamic list of the places I have to go to whenever I visit Hawaii and update it with reviews from newspapers, websites and most importantly, word of mouth. Until I fulfill my dream of moving back "home", I'll just have to daydream about these goodies in the meantime.... Bale Sandwich - already mentioned but worth mentioning again. I've been a fan since its inception and have been scratching my head as to why one hasn't opened up here in Vegas. Rainbow Cake - from Dee Lite Bakery (I think its Saint-Germaines now) Zippy's Spaghetti and Meat Sauce - I have cravings for this it's crazy! Also their jello cream squares, dream cake, and strawberry guava chiffon cake, lilikoi drink Li Hing Mui Shave Ice at the Waiola store - the store of my childhood with the best shave ice around Char Sui Bao/Manapua -downtown Chinatown - cheap and ono! Pork Hash/Fried Mandoo - little store by Washington Intermediate (I don't remember the name of it but it's close to King st. and McCully by the old japanese school) Leonard's Malasadas - I will try Champions during my next trip! Garlic Shrimp from the Giovanni Shrimp Trucks on the way to North Shore Spam Musubi from the little store by Kawananakoa Intermediate School (sorry if my memory fails me..does Highlands ring a bell anyone?) Hale Vietnam - the best vietnamese food around. I had a mini graduation dinner there in 1992. McDonald's Portuguese Sausage, Eggs and Rice....I guess it's just tradition for me! Bubbies Ice Cream and Lappert's - for the best flavors of ice cream around! By the way....I used to date the nephew of Chicken Alice's and enjoyed their wonderful food for over four years. In fact, that's how my love for Korean food began. The last I heard they gave their recipes to another korean plate lunch restaurant at Pearl Kai Camellia. It was such a long time ago but if anyone is aware of where I can find the same type of spicy korean fried chicken, please let me know. Even a recipe would suffice! Aloha!!
