You really get that warm, spiced cookie butter flavor in every sip--dessert in drink form The texture was smooth and satisfying, and everything tasted well-balanced, not artificial or heavy.

Next time, I'm trying the matcha!

What a…read morerefreshing treat especially in the midst of some pretty heavy rains (I think this day was the worst!). Enjoyed learning about this newer coffee company and the delicious drinks they have. Enjoyed for the very first time, a mushroom latte over ice... packed with good for you adaptagens and anti- inflammatory properties I've been wanting to try but never wanted to go on a subscription. Well, if every mushroom iced latte tastes as good as this... I won't hesitate! Also purchased what I was told is their best seller drink: bee sting ( iced latte). Wow ohh wow, this one even better! Besides special popups, one can find Cowrie Coffee in the parking lot of Hawaii Kai Costco one day a week... Was it Wednesdays? I will be looking for you! Thank you to sponsoring organization who brought Cowrie to town and to my attention. Looking forward to more goodness..!

Cute pink trailer…read more.. That's what you're looking for to squash that sweet cravings as this cute little trailer is one in few in the Pearlridge Center former Sears parking lot that's home to a few food trucks including Halo Halo Craze. Offering treats like the classic beloved Halo Halo in many different forms though since it's the hottest time of the summer afternoon it has to be a bit more refreshing so it was the Italian Cream Soda for me and with a bunch of flavors available Guava sounded interesting and was a treat. Need to be shaken as all the syrup is on the bottom slightly shaken and stirred it was just the sip I craved. The single staff is sweet I imagine is the owner but informed of the various other flavors that may have not been listed as well. Support local and small as they do provide you with great treats to make your day that much better. Thank you!

Mmmm... Delicious!!…read more The wife and I caught a quick glance of Moore's Soul Food Kitchen truck while they were parked at Geiger in Ewa Beach. It was the first time we saw this truck, so we both couldn't help but be curious about the goods.. especially my wife lol. First off, the owner was super cool! Being that my wife is from Louisiana, every time we hit up a soul food spot, she asks where they're from. Today, we learned that the Moore's family is from Florida and have been in Hawaii since the 80's. Since we already had an early lunch, we weren't tryna get too crazy on the ordering as I typically do. My wife decided to try the chicken wing plate which came with 10pc chicken wings and fries. After debating on the flavor choice, we agreed on chipotle mango. When the owner hand delivered the plate to us, she asked for our honest review... and here it is!! Haha! FIVE STARS! :) Happy to report the wings and fries were amazing!!! Loved the homemade sauce that the wings were tossed in. I was expecting a little kick after catching a scent of hot sauce, but they weren't spicy at all. I appreciate the naked wings too btw. They were so juicy and flavorful, and I love when my food is piping hot! Excited to try other offerings and even other flavors of wings. Hopefully more menu items are available the next time we stop by. Today there were a few things marked SOLD OUT. As far as hours of operation and locations, the best thing to do is follow them on instagram (which I don't have), but calling their number to check the schedule is another option. Hope you love it!!

It's like they just deep fried it without any seasoning or flour. Then they just threw buffalo sauce for flavor. The fries were frozen fries that you could get from your local grocery store. Nothing special. Hand cut fries would have been a lot better. The mac and cheese is a big zero. No taste and it wasn't the best kind of cheese. As a "soul food" restaurant, I was very disappointed. I've been to a lot of soul food places and a lot of them stand out in a good way. They marinate there chicken, and fry it with flour, they hand cut the fries and fry it with peanut oil, and lastly they scratch make the mac n cheese. Saldy this restaurant failed to put more effort into their food. Which is why im giving them a big fat ZERO. Only put one star cuz I have to. I won't be coming back.

It's been too long since I've been to Dick's Lechon truck in the Waikele Shopping Center, so I made…read moreit a point to stop here to pick up a lechon plate on my way back home from the west side. The prices have gone up (where hasn't), since the last time, but the quality of the lechon is still as great as it always has been. I ordered their Lechon fried rice plate, which comes with a fairly large portion of both. The pork is juicy, with the signature crispy skin... so delicious. The service was fast and helpful, pointing out that have several sauces that you can take in little cups. The Fried rice was a bit bland, especially when compared to the taste of the pork, but putting the lechon sauce over it, definitely improved the flavor. The slightly sweet, with vinegar tang, would make a piece of cardboard edible, lol. I'm so happy to have stopped by, and it definitely will be sooner, rather than later, for my next visit.

Everyone was working hard to get the food out fast. Lechon had the perfect crispy skin while the meat was tender. A good amount was given n' was nicely prepared. Ate it with the mang tomas sauce that was provided. The addition of spam pieces was to incorporate the main attraction. The fried rice unfortunately didn't have much flavor. I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it. The turon had a good crunchy exterior, the banana seemed a bit on the dry side. Glad to see many people trying Dick's Lechon n' supporting local!
