        This starch dish is commonly found at local Okazuya shops. It's Chinese in origin and the keywords are it's: "FUN" to "EAT".

        Almost a giveaway.

            Moto, that's it... and the king of Okazuya Chow Fun is St. Louis Deli, next to St. Louis Drive Inn on Waialae. The perfect, simple, no-frills Chow Fun.

            Miulang, we're still waiting on whatever the name is of that Chinese Pigs Blood dish you had in question. I even asked an elderly aunt who's mother is FROM CHINA and she never heard of it.

              Hey, I've seen that brand Cafe du Monde Beignets at Poke Stop in Waipahu. Never tried them though, so what does it taste like....

                They taste exactly like malasadas, except for beignets you traditionally dust them with lots of powdered sugar instead of the granulated sugar (and sometimes with a dash of cinnamon to go with the granulated sugar).

                  Sorry, Moto, I was kinda incommunicado on Maui for a couple of weeks. Mr. Lau (the guy who used to run the neighborhood grocery where we bought it) called it "loko" as opposed to "loco moco" which it clearly wasn't. I think it was probably a derivative of dinaguan (the Filipino blood stew) without the vinegar and the chilipeppers.

                    Pomai asked for the answer, however, thanks for the answer. I was wondering too.

                      Re: Name That Food

                      Okay. Here's one that should answered in a relatively short period of time; these snacks are seen for sale everywhere in Oahu, especially at Long's in the crackseed aisle.

                      The snack: They are sold by a local Honolulu entity in predominately red cellophane hanging pegboard bags, and look similar to miniature Italian cannolis. They are a senbei based snack that are rather delicate. What is their brand name?

                        Hawaii Candy "wafers"?

                          I'm with Miulang's answer on SurfingFarmBoy's question.

                          Next..

                          This ethnic delicacy is horrible to look at when cracked open, with ugly black veins and and an innocent eye that seems to stare at you. It was featured on the hit show, FEAR FACTOR.

                          Give it a dash of salt and eat it quick with a brave spirit, and it can taste as good as a hearty comfort soup.

                          Name that food.

                              E kala mai....I forgot I had a question posted on this thread. Your answer (along with Pomai's) is really close..the answer is "Waf-O-Rolls", made by the same company you mentioned, Hawaii Candy...the distributors of those pink and yellow coconut balls. Waf-O-Rolls and the little disk wafers (they look like little pancakes) are essentially identical in composition; I believe the little wafers though have black seseme baked into them, whereas the Waf-O-Rolls (I think) are pure, no seseme added senbei, rolled into a small cannoli-shaped snack.
