![UNKNOWN LOCAL BREAKFAST SPOTS in OAHU! || [Hawaii] *Local Secret Spots Revealed!*](/img/n.gif)
Please do not change your content format! Bill and Lisa are true foodies like most of us. I discovered them during CoVID and I have learned from them that a trip doesn’t have to be a week long or more. And a big part of the trip is experiencing the culture of the area and that means all the local foods. Bill and Lisa I watch your channel because you both showcase your personalities and really share with us a lot of your experiences at the place you visit without all the rehearsed fluff. And because of the two of you I started a separate bucket list for 48 hours or less of travel destinations and I even have 2 short Amtrak trips. And now without twisting my arm I am adding Oahu as a side trip to our Maui trip. So from the bottom of my heart it is with deepest thanks that you have inspired me to venture out to travel again despite all this CoVID stuff. We need to live life and we only live once. And I want to live with a happy belly despite all my food allergies that won’t stop me! Bill and Lisa inspire me that you don’t need much time in one place to have a great experience but the toughest part is to prioritize and make the time to create a memory!!! And we get added bonus of meeting their family and they don’t have to share those private moments but they do. And that’s what makes it memorable to watch them because it’s like you are sitting right next to them eating and chatting. No pressure and no fake stuff on this channel. They give their honest opinions and they are so cute and funny when they make jokes and crack me up!!! Plus Lisa always has nice outfits and Bill has his fancy shirts but their attitudes are out of this world!!! Thanks Bill and Lisa for all the inspiration and fun laughs in 2022! Hope to see more fun adventures in the future!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Arlene. Yes, we all only get to live in this crazy world once, that said there's so much to see, eat, and experience. Of course not everyone will have the opportunity to venture around the world, but just visiting different new cities around you can be an exciting adventure.
We've said it before in our Q&A's, but worth mentioning again, when traveling, don't plan too much to do in one day. Just plan a couple top things on your list, anything else you do will just be a nice extra.
We never thought of ourselves as being influencers, just folks who love sharing our adventures and experiences with our CZcams family. We love reading comments where we inspired people to take their first cruise, travel to a new destination, or even try new foods (and hopefully liked it! lol).
Not to worry, no plans to change our format, just going to add new adventures. =)
What beautiful sentiment; I love them too, but you said everything only more articulated then I could've done😉
No matter where you are...nice to see you trying out the local places. In Hawaii, see so many tourists eating at Subway, Burger King, etc....or just ordering cheeseburgers at local dining spots...Sheesh!
Love hearing Leslie offer her articulate opinions. Thank you for taking us along on your Hawaiian adventures. Just like we were there!
The king of Tiny Bubbles, Don Ho, would be proud of you two for representing Hawaii so well. GRIND ON
Thank you Bill and Lisa for the shout out!:) I'm glad you two were able to go to the Liliha Bakery International MarketPlace. They do a great job in balancing a more fancy restaurant with the nostalgia of the original place. And I didn't know how loved Felix is throughout the community. Glad you got the Fried Chicken too. Soo crunchy.😋 Mele Kalikimaka to you and your Ohana👍🎄🤙
Our pleasure, Sean! We thank you for the local recommendations, and we're keeping notes on places from your other videos. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Nhi.
I love leslie is getting brave!!!! way to go Leslie!!!
Yes I want to work for you
Love this Hawaii series. Prime rib and fired chicken made my mouth water. Nice to see Leslie get in front of the camera; she did great...she's a natural! I'm glad everybody enjoyed themselves. I know Christopher and Erin hate they had to leave early.
In my opinion, the best mac salad on Oahu is at Ray's Cafe!!! And Felix's prime rib can run with the LV spots any day. Hidden gem indeed!!!
I absolutely love your videos. I will be travelling to Hawaii in 2024 and your videos, for me as a foodie, are very informative. The two of you are just adorable! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
I LOVED this Hawaii series. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
You are so welcome, Sue! Thanks for watching the series.
Thanks for such a great Hawaiian Series Bill, Lisa and Leslie!
Really enjoyed seeing all the wonderful different eats, landscape and sights!
You're very welcome, S! Thanks so much for watching!
I just stumbled across your channel and after one video I’m hooked! Please don’t stop making great videos maybe come down to Vancouver Canada for some eats! I also subscribed and can’t wait for the next videos🙏🏼❤️
Welcome to our channel, Harley! Hope to make it to Vancouver one day!
Happy to see you and Lisa enjoying some local Hawaii food and special desserts. I live on the Big Island so many of the places you are dining are not available on the Big Island, especially on the Hilo side. If we do visit Oahu, we do indulge in some of the great eats Honolulu has to offer!!! Enjoy!!! Aloha!!!!
Bill and Lisa! You two love life and all it offers. You are a joy to watch! Till your next adventure! Aloha❤❤
Love that you reviewed Ray’s and support local folks! ❤
Always a pleasure to check out local eats! 😋
Been binge watching your HI vids to plan for our next visit to the islands! LOVE Sean’s channel, too! He has great vids on the local eats, I need to try them all! Hehe! Ray’s cafe is a must try, it’s on our list along with Jenny’s shrimp truck! ❤
Awesome! Thank you! So many places to try. 🤙🏽
Visiting the island over the summer. I will check these places out.
Those short rib thingys, the prime rim, malasadas, Mac salad, oh, I’m so hungry! And in Hawaii- can’t beat that! Thanks for sharing your adventures .
Lol. "If you don't finish it" I don't have that kind of self control.
Enjoyed this! We will be going to all the places you ate at!! My hubby grew up there, you opened our eyes to new places!! We can’t wait to try! Thank you!
Love the video. I do miss home haven't been back since 86.
I usually dip the onions in the Hawaiian salt when I go to Helena's.
I love Hawaii. The Beauty is mind blowing. Thank you for sharing your travels with us. ❤️👏🐬🏄♀️
Our pleasure, Jamie! Thanks so much for watching.
@@billandlisa always watching your videos 👏❤️
You all look so happy and healthy. Love seeing Leslie, you are all so fun to watch.
Yes. We love seeing more of Leslie and ALL your kids
The food looks good. Draymond green has a fan in Hawaii next to you:
Lau Lau, kalbi, malasadas, and the thick prime rib... pretty good day
Merry Christmas, Bill & Lisa (and Leslie)! It's nice to see the wrap-up of your recent Hawaiʻi food tour before the big December storm. You folks are old pros in Hawai'i and always know what to order at the favorite local places (or get good advice on Yelp and from other CZcams foodie vloggers), and you are familiar with and can appreciate what we locals eat. The only giveaway that you didn't grow up here is you called the malasada flavor "ling hing" instead of "li hing"-- but you also said "ling hing MUI" which is the cracked seed and what many local people automatically call the powder flavor. What's your relationship with Hawai'i besides being frequent visitors and having many eateries with Hawai'i food in Torrance (and Las Vegas)? Do you (did you) have 'ohana here in the islands that we don't get to see?
I slipped on the 'ling', meant 'li hing', good catch. lol My grandfather was born in Hilo. Also was related to many peeps in Waimea on the Big Island for many years who we visited quite often. Lisa's aunt also grew up in Oahu. Merry Christmas to you and family, Jody.
Hey Fam I didn’t t get the memo that y’all were going to my favorite place. I lived there for 3 years I love Hawaii.
Great minds think alike! =)
Loved loved the mini series!!! Thank you for the shoutout! My hubby loved the surprise!! Thanks again for the shoutout and thank you for showing us how beautiful Honolulu is!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching, guys! 🤗
The cake and poke looks good. The ribs and pork look good. The guy’s wearing my nemesis in the nba , draymond green shirt .
Must remember to not watch your videos before meal time, lol, always makes me extra hungry! lol. By the way, that Hawaiian sea salt that you were served with your meal is for the Maui onions next to the haupia, you dip that in it. I have occasionally dip the Maui onions in poi and then dip them into the Hawaiian sea salt, it sticks better…but if you like your meat extra salty more power to you, lol. There are so many ways of eating poi, but generally any salty dishes tends to go nice with poi, kalua pig and poi go nicely. Also some people like it fresh like you were eating while some people like it fermented, bit of sour taste.
Yes, another viewer commented about the salt being for the onions.. noted. We were thinking American steakhouses where they bring you a little dish of sea salt for you to sprinkle/dip your steak. Agreed, poi compliments just about any dish. Thanks for watching, LCA. =)
“We love local baby”- 👏👏👏
Alohaaa Hi Bill&Lisa 🏝
Wow really enjoyed your tour of da island and da island is definitely gonna miss ya! Thank you for sharing where all da Ono grinez are! You guys are real fun fun fun😊 Malama Pono Take care and A Hui Hou Until we meet again🤙Aloha Oe🌺 see yall on da nex one💕🤙

We’re going to Oahu in 3 weeks and can’t wait to try all of these yummy places!!! Especially that coco puff and chantilly cake 🤤🤤🤤
You are so welcome! Have a great time!
Mele Kalikemaka!!!🎄
What a great foodie video. I'm salivating with that fried chicken! It was sweet of him to give you a t-shirt.
Wonderful final shot of that beautiful sunset.
Merry Christmas to you and the family, Yvonne! Yes, great fried chicken! Felix is good people. As always, thanks for watching, Yvonne. =)
Another great video filled with amazing food finds! That cocoa puff is my jam! ❤ Poke bowl for the win! Thanks for sharing your HI adventures with us Bill and Lisa! Happy New Year, cheeeeeers to 2023! 🎆🎊
Thanks Arlene! Happy New Year!
Eh ...I enjoy watching all of your folks.. Have any of you folks (Sean/Nhi, Bill/Lisa, Amanda/Felix ever reviewed Molokai or Lanai sites and grindz? I have to get there while I still can!
We haven’t. It’d be interesting.
Thank you for sharing your Hawaii vacation
Our pleasure!
Enjoyed watching your Hawaii vacation series! All the food looks so good & there’s a couple of foodies we need to try! Mahalo for taking us along. 🤙
Thanks so much for watching!
Oh my God the chicken at Ray's looked amazing! Adding to my must go list
You'll love it!
Gotta try Ray's. I live here but never been. Everybody has s hidden gem to share. Thanks for sharing.
Credit goes to Sean of Hawaiian Traveler.
Happy Holidays Bill and Lisa Thanks for sharing Hawaii, it's such a beautiful place!!!!
Happy holidays, April!
Love you guys, love seeing more of Leslie
nice. the last eatery was very simple in design but their food was very inviting..prime rib and fried chicken.
Small local eatery, but great!
Ray’s fried chicken is excellent! It’s perfect!!!
Agreed!
I usually like your videos before watching them because I know it's always going to be fantastic! I was also planning of going to the original Liliha Bakery but ended up going to the one you went to :) I love their mochi donuts. I'll try that cake next time!
Thanks Catherine. There's something about the original Liliha location and sitting at the counter, hits you in the nostalgic feels. =)
Love your videos! love the chemistry between you two....please do a Filipino food review as well!
Thank you, Tracey!
Aloha Bill, Lisa and Leslie! Mahalo for doing this vlog which highlighted the foods I loved when I lived on Oahu. It made this Christmas Day flavorful and memorable! Felix’s local accent, and the sights of the building, where Ray’s in located, got me missing my old neighborhood - I grew-up in the Kalihi area. Looking forward to the next vlog. Mele Kalikemaka, and much 🧧!
Glad we brought back some good old memories for you, Bill. Merry Christmas, Bill.
We’re here watching!!! Hoping you and your family have a great Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Hi Wil! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Iris!
Thank you for taking us with you to Hawaii. Love all of it,
Your videos always make me hungry. Ha hahaha ❤
😋
Happy New Year and thank you for you fun entertaining channel ❤️
That’s my jam 😂
I love my virtual travels with you guys. So much fun❤
You're always welcome, Denise!
Your blogs are so fun to watch. I wish you lived in Hawaii and I could watch them always! Hawaii stole my heart so many years ago❤🇨🇦Mahalo and Merry Christmas guys😊
Thanks Brenda! Merry Christmas!
Mahalo Bill and Lisa for these Hawaiian videos!! Can't wait to see where y'all go on your next adventure!!
Thanks for watching the series, Debbie!
Great as always! Only thing... the salt at Helena's is to dip the onions in
Another commenter mentioned that too, but dipping the short rib also was delish. =)
Merry Christmas! Thanks for taking us along, wish we were in warm Hawaii!
Food all looked amazing! Always go to barefoot beach restaurant for lunch but never did dinner and love they have entertainment too!
We'll have to checkout barefoot for breakfast next time we're in the area. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Bill & Lisa and family. Really enjoyed all your videos from Hawaii, very entertaining. I just wanted to know how that chantilly cake compares with the Paradise cake at Kings Hawaiian?
Oh man, you had to go there. lol!! We'll need to eat both again to compare. Merry Christmas, Alan.
Mahalo for another good video. FYI, next time you have Hawaiian food, dip the raw onion in the Hawaiian salt, very ono!
Thanks for the tip!
Glad to see you on a long vacation! Hope to visit Hawaii soon!
Loved this series!! I was there at the same time but got sick so I missed out on a lot of what I had planned. Looking forward to seeing lots of the new places you reviewed on my next visit. Please tell us where Rays is at so I can get some of that chicken for my mom and husband. Happy holidays to you both and thank you for all your hard work!!
Sorry you felt under the weather in Hawaii. Happened to me on a trip to the Big Island a couple years back, no fun. Ray's (and all the other eating places) address is in the video description. You're very welcome and thanks for watching.
I’m getting Willie Mae’s vibes from Helena’s for some reason 😅 but louder! Fun vlog ❤
Funny you should mention our all time favorite fried chicken... stay tuned.
Try li hing powder or li hing sauce with arare. The local crack seed stores will have them. kaimuki seed store might have it.
Thanks for the tip.
Thanx for keeping us company on Christmas day....
You're so welcome, Amanda! Merry Christmas!
When are y’all going back to New Orleans? Love your recommendations for eating places.
We've been meaning to, but either other trips pop up or the weather in NOLA isn't too good. We will make it back though for sure.
I wonder if maguro spot same as maguro bros… it’s a must try! Love the hawaii blogs- thx!
Don't think it's the same company. We still need to stop by Maguro Brothers. Thanks for watching!
@@billandlisa u should check out the location in Chinatown, hidden towards the back of the warehouse. They have cooked items there like salmon belly! Maguro Bros - highly suggested🥰
Love all your foodie picks. I also just started following Sean the beginning of Dec. I believe you guys are the reason I found his CZcams channel. I wish it was before my Hawaii trip. Glad I follow you both. Merry Christmas 🎄
Awesome! Thank you! You're ready for your next Hawaii trip now. lol
Great 👍🏽 Series.
Thanks Christine!
Merry Xmas ...thanks for all the time you two invest in this amazing channel .... giving us all chance to get out even when we can't...let's have an a great 2023
You're very welcome! We're happy to take you along on our foodie adventures!
You should try poi with sugar. Get some shave ice 🍧 and haupia Okinawan sweet pie from Ted’s Bakery.
Thanks for the tip and rec!
We are coming to Oahu in February. Can you give information on how you got to Maui? I would like to take a day trip. Also, my husband now wants to go to Rays for the Prime rib. We just found you on here and will be watching all your videos. My husband and I are foodies. Thank you for such great content.
Hi Sophie. We just booked the inter-island flight on the Hawaiian Airlines app. There are several departure times going both ways, just pick one that best suites your plans. Same went with the car rental, we use Hertz.
Welcome to our channel! =)
Awww...Great little series...Thank you
have enjoyed 2022 series look forward to adventures in 2023 happy christmas and a fantastic new year to you both
Thanks so much, Dotty Dot! Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Thanks for sharing some delicious local eateries in Oahu. I gotta go in 2023!
Merry Christmas, Calmwell. Thanks for watching!
Merry Christmas Bill and Lisa, Shirley here!!!! Just wanted to wish you and your family a happy holidays and health and happiness for the coming year and always. We flew back from Aulani on the 18th. It was such a fun, relaxing and magical time. And we ate twice at Liliha Bakery, once at International Market Place and once at Macy’s. Again, happy holidays, love and good wishes to you!!!! 🥰😍🥰😍🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas, Shirley! Happy to hear you had a great time at the Aulani. We also loved our stay there too. Next time check out the original Liliha, sitting at the counter will give you a great nostalgic feel.
@@billandlisa I have been to the original location. It was a rainy day, and I ran in there to get butter rolls, poi mochi donuts and cream puffs. I have tried the cocoa puffs before but they were a bit too sweet for me, so I stick to the cream puffs. Love, love, love Liliha! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The food looks fantastic 😍 wow the malasadas always look so tasty, they make me crave em every time. I’m a donut lover and I would eat 6 of those no worries haha. Loving these Hawaiian videos, they are awesome guys. Xx
Thanks Angie! Sounds like Leonard's Malasadas are on your list when you make it to Hawaii!
Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka to you both! ❤
Merry Christmas!
Queens Beach! We all Honolulu Queens Hang Out! 😜🥰
Bill and Lisa, thanks for all the tips. We can’t wait to get back to Oahu and have some new places to try now ❤.
You're very welcome!

You guys are great.thanks for the videos..

Always welcome, Lawrence! Thanks for watching.
It's been my dream to try the Coco Puffs at Liliha ever since I saw them eat them on Hawaii Five-0 😋 How do they compare to Beard Papa cream puffs? Great video! Keep up the great work!
Beard Papas filling is more smooth custard like, both delicious!
🐔 🔪 🐔 🔫 🐔 🔧 🐔 🔨 lol 😆 lol 😆 Hey Lisa!!!!! Hey Bill !!!!! Hey Leslie!!!!! Chicken looks good, Prime evil rib too. Great vid 🎥 📱 📱 🎥 like ALWAYS!!!!! Guys 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍✈ Have a fun and Safe flight home 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🏡 🌳 🌳 ❤ 😊

Hope you're feeling better. No worries! Happy New Year!
I enjoyed every minute !
I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, Deborah!
Merry Christmas to my favorite you tubers!!
Merry Christmas, Winnie!
I've noticed you guys use the in-room coffee makers when you travel. Would you want to do a review of your favorite ones? And how does the illy compare with keurig? Is it better than starbucks? Mahalo!!
Thanks for the suggestion, Grace. This was the first hotel that we've stayed at that had an Illy machine. It produces coffee similar to our Nespresso Vertuo. Keurig machines produce more of your typical cup of coffee, whereas the Illy and Nespresso crates that frothy top layer. It's personal preference between the 3 and Starbucks. Lisa just got me the Illy machine for Christmas so now we have all 3 machines. lol
@@billandlisa I'm tempted to give the Illy a try too! I have a regular machine but sometimes you want a treat!
