    I haven't been here for a while, so some things regulars may take for granted were new to me…read more I arrived around 8 am today, a Sunday. First off, the woman who took my order and cut my meats appeared to be the same one who left a very good impression on me years before. Everything went smoothly. I ordered all my favorites - a half pound each of char siu and roast pork, and a half roast duck. I showed her a photo I took of her cutting and asked for permission to post it on Yelp, and she said it would be okay. In the past, I would hand over my physical card and worry it would come back greasy. I was pleased that I could use Google Pay. The total cost was in line with what I had anticipated, reasonable. I hurried home since I hadn't eaten yet this morning. I had some of everything along with some hot rice I prepared at home. I started with the duck, which I ate as is, without using the included sauce. It tasted as good as I had hoped. I also enjoyed the char siu and roast pork. They were just as I like them. There is nothing like getting good, freshly roasted meats from Chinatown. I will be back.

    His Lao sausages, made fresh on Fridays, and sold frozen til he runs out (usually Saturday or maybe…read moreSunday) are 8 sausages per $18 bag. 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. I always buy at least two bags, and it seems like everyone else does too. Cash and credit. If you go during peak hours, be ready to be elbowed out of the way by mamas wanting fresh pork.

    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.

    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.

    I like buying my pork here especially when I need ground pork or pork ribs. They have a sink that…read moreis clearly visible. 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.

    Many times, I am sent on missions for my part-time job that seem to be a wild goose chase but with…read morepersistence and knowing the ins and outs of Honolulu's Chinatown, I at times surprise myself. For the second weekend in a row, I was tasked to buy pork belly. Last weekend I went to my go to stall in Kekaulike Market and bought 3 strips of pork belly only to be advised it was "too lean" and not good to make steamed pork belly with harm ha (fermented shrimp paste). The "lean" pork belly eventually was used to make a different dish that made some employees bummed as they were looking forward to the steamed dish for that day's employee meal. This past weekend I went back to my regular stall and once again they had pork belly but indeed it was on the leaner side. I asked the boss man if he had any more pork belly as I wanted a fattier cut in his back refrigerators but sadly, none. I then visited the other 2 meat stalls in Kekaulike Market and the pork belly was too lean. My other options were to go to Oahu Market or to Maunakea Marketplace. Because I wanted to pick up some dim sum from Dimsum Village at Maunakea Marketplace, I proceeded mauka and entered Maunakea Marketplace from N Hotel St entrance and immediately came across Carnate's Meat and Seafood (CMS). CMS seems like a husband/wife team that sells fresh meats and seafood. The showcase on the left I found fresh pork nicely displayed and immediately found pork belly, but on the leaner side. I then asked if they had fattier slabs, where the male staff grabbed one from the middle and indeed it was fattier. ***happy dance*** However, because I had to feed 8 adults, I needed more. At first, he looked in the showcase and had none, but he offered to check his refrigerator behind him. He pulled out a large piece of unsliced pork where one end had fatty pork belly. Yes!!! I was so thrilled of the availability as it saved me time from walking around Chinatown when I had a list of other things I had to buy. I asked for 2 more slabs of fatty pork belly. He packaged and weighed the pork belly, and then paid for my purchase to his wife who was at the register. Because I was getting reimbursed, I asked for a receipt in which she obliged. While waiting for my change, I checked out their display and saw assorted packages of spices and mixes, as well as pre-packaged dried beans and grains. Seems like they were for Filipino dishes that I am not knowledgeable in. I took my purchase to my part-time job to receive thumbs up to make the steamed pork belly with harm ha sauce. It was sliced and marinated with some chopped garlic, fresh chilies, harm ha sauce, sesame oil, white pepper and cooking wine. It was steamed and we had a delicious lunch that day. Overall, a very pleased first visit where CMS came through in satisfying the critical staff at my part time job. They have refined palates where ingredients are key in cooking where variation and substitution are not forgiving. When tasked for fatty pork belly, I'll be sure to make my way back to CMS.
