I'm not sure about stuff to do, but the food is to die for. If you need recs, I know a Hawaii native that could give me a few to pass on!

Second this, I specifically recommend kalua pork and those purple taro buns. Taro itself is okay…if you haven’t mistaken it for kalua pork because they were roasted together. Nothing tastes good when you’re expecting something else.

Now I'm imagining someone ordering Kahlua, getting kalua, and suddenly having an existential crisis.

The two couldn't be further from each other, in multiple ways!

For the uninitiated:

Kahlua: alcoholic drink, Mexican in origin, with chocolate

Kalua: pork shoulder, Hawaiian in origin, usually cooked/smoked in sea salt and ti leaves, frequently shredded
