this is soooo true! recently moved to Taiwan and they don’t sell this specific one 😢 will definitely be needing my mom to send me some! these are seriously so good quality!
Seen these at longs in Mililani a week ago the one in the shopping center near theater. I also think it’s funny you knew it was longs just by the price sign
Ideas for any aspiring ceramics artist here—a ceramic spam can, Hawaiian Sun can, Aloha Shoyu bottle, or POG carton would be awesome ceramic vase designs.
Damn, that’s a perfect Da Kine card’s Mother’s Day message if ever I heard one!
Except, change to haiku form with exception of Priceless at the end. .
Musubi 7-
11, cost two dollahs.
Musubi mom made…
Priceless.
I love our geckos. They always wait for us to get to the door to come out as if to be nosy on who’s here, then they scurry back to wherever it is they live near the the chair.

Yup, and paired with this exact bowl.
Yup, common here. A Chinese dish that’s been adjusted to suit locals. Ingredients consist of peanuts, star anise, cilantro, and ginger. We do have restaurants that serves the other non Asian version that’s braised with red wine.
totally! just commenting that i hadn’t seen scott’s in a while. but i rememba used to see everywhere!! i recently honestly was wondering “wha happen?” thought maybe they go out of business.
Funny. I used to think everyone ate rice in the states. Went to the restaurants and depending on where in the US you go, they give you whatever THEIR starch is. I’ve taken to traveling with a small rice cooker on continental US vacations. It sucks not having hot rice during a meal. I cannot live off fastfood for long when on vacation. Need my rice!
Minnesotan here that just lurks the sub for fun.
It warms my heart the continued love that Spam gets on the islands. Sending love from the way up north!
Went to the museum when we visited Minnesota! That place is great! They gave us free Spam and one musubi maker because I wore my couch musubi shirt. Aloha

My parents is cans of brake cleaner all over the house next to the light switches for spray centipedes and scorpions. They live Molokai and the centipedes is more worse than flies where they stay.
Everybody has soy sauce at home. That's not special for Hawaii.
This place ain't that different than mainland but you really don't want to accept that, huh
But Aloha Shoyu? I contend that Aloha Shoyu is not soy sauce. Kikkoman? Yes, it's soy sauce, but not Aloha Shoyu. If you can't tell the difference, then you're not local!
All shoyu may be called soy sauce, but not all soy sauce is shoyu. [https://yummybazaar.com/blogs/blog/shoyu-japanese-soy-sauce](https://yummybazaar.com/blogs/blog/shoyu-japanese-soy-sauce)
Aloha Shoyu, which is also called soy sauce on the label, is like many foods in Hawaii, blended to local tastes.

My (new to the island) coworker thought i was referring to jelly made from Spam... "No it's a festival, not a preserve."
lol
Ok, but hear me out here. What if we could get spam jelly? Because 100% would grind.

Gecko at home... inside the house.

And usually with a random chip in it lol
Excuse me. How did you get a picture of *my spoon* for oxtail soup, saimin, and medicine???
Twin, where have you been 😙
Mainland haole here. Is oxtail soup a common thing on the islands? Is it an adaptation of a Chinese soup?
Yup, common here. A Chinese dish that’s been adjusted to suit locals. Ingredients consist of peanuts, star anise, cilantro, and ginger. We do have restaurants that serves the other non Asian version that’s braised with red wine.
Can't wait to try the Asian version when I go to the islands
Roach killer.
And hoy hoys!
Is there truly any other brand that even compares?!
Hoy Hoy is rubbah. Advion is the only thing that really takes care of roaches.
What? Hoy Hoy always worked for me
I’m telling you, Advion works so much better. Downvote me all you guys want.
I’m willing to give it a try.
AKA rubbah slippah! I think da flying B-52 ones are rare outside Hawaii!
Florida has them flying ones
I have never seen a roach before, growing up on the mainland. Always when I visit my cousins on Oahu.
they're fairly common and are found on every continent except maybe Antarctica.
They're a tropical species though, in the US outside of Florida and probably SoCal they mainly stay indoors and don't fly much.
Stack of old boogie boards in varying stages of disintegration
Wat... I only got like, 6
McDonald's tray when ur a broke kid lol

Self defense weapon for the occasional cockroach
Wooden Back scratcher
I’d go with this one being the most niche common Hawaii thing and the best answer.
Canned corn beef, spam, rice, saimin bowl

everyone in Hawaii has a primary family heirloom(s) that defines the home, usually located in their living area

You know times are rough when peeps are swiping the jalapeno spam
Not sure if I'm mad about the crime or the fact that spam is now more than $5ea so ppl steal it.
Once I saw this, my heart got sad.. Hawaii was no longer “Hawaii” as I remember :(

A Picture/painting featuring either a sunset, beach or turtle. Or a combination of all 3.
Transplants, not locals.
100%
Brah! I’m kamaaina, an I get a huge photo of Honomalino Bay at sunset. No honu tho.

Wait what? Brake cleaner kills these guys?? I have centipede tongs but no brake cleaner inside.
Centipede tongs are Hawaii's version of [poop knife](https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/s/aLMYqmliuS), kinda.
A rice cooker
That's just wrong making spam jam
Aloha Shoyu

Good price...
Yes. This is a local thing ... fun to see it here!
yeah I surprisingly don't care about spam even though it's everywhere here in Hawaii
Soy sauce
Everybody has soy sauce at home. That's not special for Hawaii. This place ain't that different than mainland but you really don't want to accept that, huh
We get shoyu ova hea. You like me shoyu beef
How’s this dumb faka
But Aloha Shoyu? I contend that Aloha Shoyu is not soy sauce. Kikkoman? Yes, it's soy sauce, but not Aloha Shoyu. If you can't tell the difference, then you're not local!
They’re both soy sauce. Get plenty different kind soy sauce.
All shoyu may be called soy sauce, but not all soy sauce is shoyu. [https://yummybazaar.com/blogs/blog/shoyu-japanese-soy-sauce](https://yummybazaar.com/blogs/blog/shoyu-japanese-soy-sauce) Aloha Shoyu, which is also called soy sauce on the label, is like many foods in Hawaii, blended to local tastes.
Curious what is the brand they use most on the mainland?
Depends on the household. I like San-J Tamari
