    Kulolo (taro mochi), haupia with a guava glaze, Haulolo (kulolo topped with haupia), and haupia with a lilikoi (Passionfruit glaze)
    Nadine C.

    Kulolo at Windward Mall Farmers' Market in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii... I was actually just looking for veggies for dinner when I passed by a vendor that caught my attention. Pomai Kulolo What's kulolo? It's like a delicious Hawaiian mochi made from grated taro and coconut milk. I've seen taro being grated - it's labor intensive! So - I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into making kulolo. I approached the nice lady under her outdoor canopy to ask about her display. She explained that the kulolo is $6 and the other items (lilikoi haupia, guava haupia, and haulolo) are 3 for $10. The guava glaze and Passionfruit glaze on the haupia (like a coconut milk jello) were intriguing. I wanted to try them all, so she gave me a deal - all 4 items for $15! Whoa! Thanks! When i got home, i immediately tasted them all! Yummy goodness! Mmm! Can't wait to go back and get more of these unique treats!

    Been craving Kulolo for a while & I'm so happy that they came on this side of the island (Ewa/Kapolei) (: the first time we purchased kulolo from them was at the Waianae farmers market a while ago & haven't been able to make it down there due to our busy schedule. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone craving poi, kulolo, haulolo & even their fish! Today was the first time we got fish from them & we was not disappointed! Everything was fresh as ALWAYS. **Follow them on Facebook & instagram so you can be updated with their location & time (: you won't be disappointed**

    I decided to try this new vendor at the April's Eat the Street event on South Street. Although there was no line, they were giving out samples of their Haupia/Kulolo ("Haulolo") dessert. Haulolo - 3 stars - it was ok, but they use canned coconut milk, so it doesn't taste as fresh as Yama's Fish Market. I don't really care for the Kulolo though. I think it's an acquired taste, plus it wasn't cold since it was on the table and not in a cooler. Pork (but since the ETS theme bacon, they also used bacon) Laulau - 5 stars - Very reasonable for a $6 plate of a laulau and rice at the Eat the Street event. I wasn't super hungry, so this laulau hit the spot. The leaves were as fresh as it could be with a nice smoke flavor to it. The sweet potato was also cooked just right and very fresh, and not too big of a slab of meat to make this a nice lite dinner. I'd definitely order this again. The staff was very friendly and nice. I then saw them selling their haupia and Haulolo dessert at the Home and Garden show at the NBC, but I am craving for their laulau!

    I came across Pomai Kulolo at the farmer's market held at Fort Street Mall in downtown Honolulu. I love this Kulolo. It's nice and moist and just pure yummy!!! There were two sizes, a small one and a large one. The smaller size is $6 and the bigger size I think was $10. I've been searching various markets to buy more but I can't find it. Supposedly, Times Supermarket carries it sometimes but I have seen any recently. Next time I find some I will be stocking up! Try this Kulolo. It's super good!

    I asked at the market 2 days ago, "how long will it keep?", 5 days they told me... in the fridge. But we'll never know. I doubt it ever makes it that long in my house. So YUMMY

    PRODUCTS: $6 EACH - Haupia (coconut dessert w/similar consistency to Jello) - Kulolo (ancient Hawaiian dessert; presently, it's made w/ kalo [taro], coconut milk + sugar) - has a thicker texture, and, although da buggah looks small, it can be quite filling. Sweet flavor that's not too overwhelming. - Haulolo (bottom has thin kulolo layer, top has thicker haupia layer) - Poi (cooked corm of the kalo plant that is mashed up + water is added to reach desired viscosity) - subtle and mildly sweet. As local as I am, I never cared for eating poi, but the employee suggested some people like adding sugar to their poi. Came home, added Splenda, and now I can say I actually like eating poi. Half da container stay gone ;) * On Fri., I stopped by their Fort Street Mall location at 11:30 AM + I got a great deal: choose any 4 products for $20! WEA DEY STAY? Sun - Leeward Farmers Market (FM), Windward Mall FM Mon - CLOSED Tues - Fort Street Mall Open Market Wed - Windward Mall FM Thurs - Kapolei High FM Fri - Fort Street Mall Open Market Sat - Pearlridge Mall FM, Wai'anae FM * Subject to change. Refer to their schedule on their website for up-to-date info: http://pomaikulolo.com/where-to-buy ** Found at Eat the Street events, too! CASH ONLY! No other payment method accepted. FREE SAMPLES! Of any of their products, so just ask! No be shame! DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO FIND KULOLO ON O'AHU?! Foodland, Yama's, and Shirokiya (Ala Moana) occasionally have it, but usually you pay an arm and a leg (plus kidney and second unborn child) for a manini (small) piece ... and they usually run out. I haven't had good kulolo in years and immediately bought 3 of them, 1 of their poi, and 1 haupialolo. INTERESTING FACTS - You can freeze kulolo if you know you aren't going to eat it right away (like, within a day)! Same can be done with rice and mochi. When you're ready to eat it, you just have to nuke it in the microwave for a short period of time. - In ancient times, kulolo used to be cooked in an imu (underground oven heated with rocks) for 6-8 hours. - Founded in 2008, it's owned/operated by Keanuenue Kekaula who uses an 'ohana (family) recipe; when he originally started, he'd sell it by the side of the road at various locations around O'ahu.

    Just the container, I ate it all up!

    I know it's a sin, but I grew up adding sugar to my poi. You know the bagged poi they sell at the market that is so thick you have to mix it with water to eat? Yeah, I didn't realize that's not really how poi is supposed to be. This poi is amazing! Super fresh, smooth, and the perfect consistency. And because it's so fresh, it's actually kind of sweet! No spoonful of sugar or water needed to make this poi go down! $6 for a pound sounds a little pricey, but it's totally worth it! You can find them at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market on Wednesdays. If you have mainland friends in town and you want them to try poi, make sure you give them this stuff and they will understand why we all love it here!

The…read morefood and other vendors are a great mix of offerings, and although it impacts the parking for the driving range and golfers, it's just one night a week on Tuesday, so not too bad. I've been seeing all the food vendors but never had tried them until tonight. After hitting balls at the range, I was headed out and the aroma of all the food got to me, so I decided to get something to take home. I selected Keeks Eatz, and ordered the Karaage Chicken plate. The food is made to order, so it did take quite a while (over 15 minutes) to get my plate, but it was worth the wait. The chicken was still crisp when I got home and the portion was large. I could barely eat half the plate, so saved the rest for tomorrow. It's served with either tossed greens or a scoop of Mac salad, and comes with 2 dipping sauces; garlic aioli and spicy mayo. The market has a "core" of regular food and gift product vendors, with some others rotating in and out. They encompass the roundabout driveway fronting Jolene's entrance, and also use the event space inside, as well. It's a nice event that offers a great mix for everyone, with people around the neighborhood walking down the street to attend. I hope they continue for years to come.

Located at Bay View Golf Park, this Night Market happens every Tuesday from 4pm to 8pm. Our goal was to get there before 4pm for better parking. We didn't want to do the valet service for $5. Some cars were parked on the grassy areas along Kaneohe Bay Drive. We probably got the last free spot in the parking lot! My neighbor told me to get my food first as she would secure us a table on the Lanai (patio). Smart move! By the time I found her, all of the sofa areas and dining tables were full! There were many food trucks, food vendors, tables filled with snacks and baked goods, and some crafts, jewelry, and dog treats. It was kind of overwhelming, especially when the live music began. I finally decided to patronize Jenny's Birria because it was Taco Tuesday! LOL! My neighbor got a plate from middle eats - she had tasted their food in the past and enjoyed it! We probably will be back! Note: my neighbor checks out the Instagram page for the Bay View Night Market, looks at the list of vendors, then decides if she wants to attend or not.

It's also an encouragement to keep going because of the workers whom are sisters, husband and wife, mother and daughter, grandchildren all working hard together. Giving great service with a smile on their face and making it through the everyday daily grind together.
