Hawaiian Food Porn

Food Porn: (noun) Gratuitous closeups of delicious-looking food.

Thanks to several trips over to Honolulu's Chinatown, we are floating in fresh fruits here during our stay in Hawaii.


Food is extremely expensive here on the islands. I'd say prices are roughly double what we pay in our grocery store in New Jersey, and certainly 50% more than prices in Manhattan grocery stores. This would be a difficult place to eat on thirty bucks a week.

But if you spend some time wandering the stalls and shops in Chinatown, you'll find produce at much more reasonable prices, and every so often you'll stumble onto some great deals, like the pineapples we saw the other day that were selling for just $2.00 each, or huge mangoes for only $1.25 a pound. These are some of the best prices you'll find on the entire island of Oahu.


If you ever happen to visit Hawaii and you find yourself in the key tourist area of Waikiki Beach, take a side trip over to Chinatown. It's just a short $2.00 bus ride, or if you're ambitious, about a 4-mile walk.
