Just when I thought Loco Moco was the most poisonous food I had eaten… Leonard’s Bakery is just as bad .. and the worst thing is…\u00a0I LOVE Leonard’s Bakery \ud83d\ude41 Ok.. so the bakery have hotdog bread\/buns like what we see in SG bakery. To us, this is super rare! We don’t see this kinda buns in often here.. so we bought. We had nv tasted such delicious buns for 2 yrs (the time which are are away from SG)!<\/p>\n

Besides the buns, they also have Hawaii Doughnuts = Malasadas.\u00a0Super nice! When we bought them, it was still warm…yums! and now u know y there’s such a LONG Q! They are good really!<\/p>\n

Right after the sinful breakfast, we drove to Pearl Habour<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Entrance is FREE! and you get to tk a boat to see the USS Arizona memorial at the other side of the habour. It was interesting to see\u00a0a piece of history right before you. I think I would have Ace my History in O-levels if I managed to visit this place then!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0That’s us with the remains of the anchor from\u00a0USS Arizona<\/p>\n

After\u00a0a fast trip to Pearl Habour, we went\u00a0to the\u00a0Polynesian Cultural Centre <\/a>(PCC), which was a long drive away. I had a quick nap in the car as BH drove… sheesh… I feel so bad but I was super tired from rushing to place to place +\u00a0waking up extra early and sleeping late every night. Luckily, BH can tahan but I know he was tired too! I mean.. that’s y i hate roadtrips.. I rather us join a tour so that both of us can enjoy – let other pple do the work… oh well..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If it’s your FIRST time to Hawaii, do visit the PCC – you will learn more about the different polynesian natives and their cultures. It’s interesting! However, the pt of the PCC is the Lu’au which is a Hawaiian dinner. Lu’au is not only about food but also dance and live music. I am not a pork person BUT there was this particular Hawaiian Pork dish which mks my mouth waters, think it’s Kalau Pig (bottom left picture). It’s yums!<\/p>\n

We were also given a Lei\u00a0 – wreath of flowers draped around the neck upon arriving at the dinning hall. It’s quite cool! haha.. i felt like a VIP<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

AFter dinner, there was a musical entitled HA at the cultural centre. The lu’au and the musical were the main attractions of the centre. However, the songs were mostly Hawaiian ( though there’s some english\u00a0narration)\u00a0– which we didn’t understand. I mean.. the only 2 Hawaii words I knew was ‘Aloha’ and ‘Mahalo’ so it didn’t have much meaning to us. On top of that, we were both exhausted and the drive back to Honolulu was long. So we watched 1\/2\u00a0the musical and left during their interval. However, both us felt the the production and the effects of the musical was impactful! The musical was good! If only we had more time….<\/p>\n

Overall, the dining experience was nice BUT I won’t go back there again. It’s very touristy and things were very expensive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
