Aloha,

Aloha,

We usually go to the Annual Aloha Festival every year. It's well organized as far as the different vendor booths and the flow of the foot traffic.

The entertainment is always a treat, while tasting all the assorted Island food. However some of the food being served is not worth the money.

Coach D's food booth- I ordered plate no 4 which includes a hot link, BBQ chicken, potato and macaroni salad. I opened the to go box and I was dissappointed! The small sliced pieces of chicken was not freshly cooked. It was dry! Nothing like the picture advertised.!

But the booth next to it was 100% better! We ordered the teriyaki chicken skewer and the prawns with fries.

The chicken was hot, juicy and packed with flavor. The prawns were battered and fried. It was crunchy and tender on the inside. Yummy!!! Now we know where to go next yr.

Also, I forgot the name of the food booth. But it's near the vendor entrance off of S. Delaware. They're the only ones serving lomi lomi seperately. For $10 you get a small see through container with little slivers of salmon and the rest of it was tomatoes! Not worth the $10 put more salmon please!!!!

As far as the Hawaiian merchandise, we always support the Kalikiano booth. Which is Christian in Hawaiian. They sell good quality hats, t-shirts, and thermoses. Our teens love their hats, which are $30. They're the last booth on the far left hand corner if you're entering from the parking lot.
