"...passing in a Japanese neighborhood"

Hawaii Five-0 had it that Chin Ho's Chinese uncle sold saimin in a Japanese neighborhood. In real life, the Lee family bought out the L&L Drive-In, a dairy in the Kalihi neighborhood, and began serving everything from saimin to loco moco, as well as kalua pork, chicken katsu, macaroni salad, and other popular Hawaiian fare. And, then, they expanded to the mainland.

Oh, this makes my mouth water! I need to add more Hawaiian cuisine to my diet. Bring on the teriyaki-glazed barbecue and the loco moco! I will pass this article on to my husband, who loves to cook. Mahalo!

Delicious! I ate chicken katsu viviting "The International Foodcourt" on International Market Place.
