They are easily the best fresh pork Lao sausages in town. Filled with lemongrass, Thai chili, makrut lime leaf, black pepper, and stuffed in pork casing. So f good.

After several disappointed visits to my go-to butcher, I was looking for decent pork belly. I've…read morelearned not to trust my go-to butcher anymore as I was given off cut pieces and only to be ridiculed by my colleagues of getting odds and ends. My immediate circle has been having cravings and this includes shoyu pork belly. With a great base of aged shoyu, simmering slabs of pork belly will yield a yummy lunch, linner or dinner. Located in Maunakea Marketplace with neighbors of Papa's Cafe and Mei Mei Chinese BBQ, BM Meat Market (BMM) is a stall that specializes in fresh pork. They had a large variety of pork cuts, spare ribs, pork bones, pig's feet and congealed pork's blood. This past weekend I was on my regular shopping rounds in Chinatown and was purchasing some cooked meats from Mei Mei Chinese BBQ, where I patronize often. Many times I see many people crowding around BMM purchasing meats. But on this morning, it was empty so I decided to check out their offerings. I only saw one slab of pork belly that had nice marbling. I asked for the price, which came in at under $5 per pound. I asked the male staff if he had any more and walks back to his refrigerator to bring out a large slab of pork belly. ***happy dance*** I asked for a total of 6 slabs of pork belly, in which I noticed an end cut with lean meat that is not ideal for Chinese shoyu pork. I asked him to replace that with another center slice, where he didn't hesitate to my request. My total bill came in just over $25, which is much less than what my colleague paid at Safeway last week where that pork belly had excess fat. The meats I got at BMM had more in volume, better quality of marbling and eating meat versus fat. This clearly was a WIN WIN WIN in my books. BMM accepts cash and EBT cards. English friendly and with respect to COVID-19, they have signs posted and stickers on the floor to remind patrons of social distancing. Overall, a very pleasant shopping experience where I will be back for more for my pork needs. NOTE: I didn't see any pig liver, pig kidney nor pig head on display. Perhaps they have it stored in the back refrigerator. Try asking the staff if you don't see what you're looking for.

Yesterday, we picked up a roasted 40 lb suckling pig from Chun's. It was our first time and…read moreeverything was great. From ordering over the phone, to picking up at 3:50 Friday afternoon (they close at 4), to the quality and flavor of the meal! I checked temp and it was only 110 when i got it home. And even though it was fully cooked, guidelines say it should be a minimum of 140 degrees when served, so I put it in a 250 degree oven to rewarm and didn't serve till it got up to almost 160 degrees. Only took 30 or 45 minutes. Everyone enjoyed watching me carve it up (which i only knew how to do from watching you tube videos) the meat was delicious, tender and moist, with crisp skin, in spite of the reheating process. All in all it was a great experience! We will definitely do this again.

HIM: Will you make some fried wontons or Chinese dumplings for a tail-gate snack?…read moreME: I need to market for some ground pork at Hoong Wun. HIM: How should I know? The game hasn't even started.... ME: What? HIM: You asked "Who won?" Sheesh, the misinterpretation caused me to wonder about my poor Chinese language skills...did I mispronounce or was my husband having a case of "stink ear"? I choose the latter reason. Anyway, Hoong Wun Butcher Shop has been a longtime O'ahu Market tenant. They feature island-raised pig, er, pork which is "sweeter" than Mainland raised pigs. As one would expect, this Chinese butchery will sell you just about every part of the pig as we Chinese will utilize "every part of the pig, except its squeal" in our cooking. I like marketing here and have done so for years because the pork is fresh, clean and well-trimmed. The prices are relatively inexpensive as we recently paid $2.50 for slightly more than a pound of ground pork whereas at local supermarkets, the same weight could cost $3.99/lb. Sure, this butcher is located in Chinatown and O'ahu Market looks run down but they do take the utmost care with food handling safety. They speak English and are quite friendly. Parking in Chinatown is always crazy but you have your choices at nearby municipal parking lots, metered or free street parking or private parking lots. Oh, while you're at O'ahu Market, go ahead to check out the other vendors such as Hometown Noodle Factory (they no longer sell noodles but make really good silken tofu), Troy Enterprise (fresh fish & seafood) and fresh produce vendor all within air-conditioned comfort.

Most other butchers in Chinatown do not have a sink, at least not one that I can see. They sell fresh island pork, not like the supermarkets with their mainland pork or pork injected with fluids, supposedly to make them juicy. They sell ground pork here but those have high fat content and mostly from odds & ends, here & there and from unsold day-old pieces. Select your own cut based on your preference for lean or fatty, have them wash the pork before grinding. You will pay more but like my sons said "good is not cheap and cheap is not good". Same thing when you buy the ribs, have them wash the bigger pieces before cutting into smaller pieces.
