THE SANTOS OHANA - 4 MILLION PAGE VIEWS FROM HAWAII

Mahalo for visiting this little food blog from Hawaii.  Started this adventure in 2008 to share photos and life experiences with my Dad
and Family.  Lots more to come!

 

ROYAL KONA RESORT

ROYAL KONA RESORT
75-5852 ALI'I DRIVE
KAILUA KONA, HI
808-329-3111

To me, The Royal Kona Resort is a gem.  This property is in a perfect location with great views.  You can walk to Huggo's, Lavern's and other restaurants/bars.  Rooms while not fancy or five star are clean.  Perfect spot to stay on a quick business trip where you just need a room to sleep for a few hours.  Check in was friendly and the restaurant staff was was friendly too.
For the price, this is my fave spot to stay in Kailua Kona!

JERSEY MIKES - BIG KAHUNA CHEESE STEAK

LUNCH IN KAHALA

Don't know what it was, but this Big Kuhuna Cheese Steak was pretty disappointing.

SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

DINNER AT HOME

Went off the low carb diet for this delicious Spaghetti Bolognese.  So good that I actually had seconds which is very rare.  Loved this!

SALMON WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

One of my all time favorite meals.  Could eat this meal every week.  My Wife insists on Wild Alaskan Salmon only.

BALUT

A little fertilized developing egg embryo or Balut as they call it in the Philippines.  
My Wife and Dog love these, but I am not going anywhere near it!

SWEET AND SOUR PORK

DINNER AT HOME

We don't eat much Chinese Food but when my Wife makes her version of Sweet and Sour Pork, the entire family loves it.  This is so much better than a Chinese Restaurant.  You can taste the flavor of the Pork and it is not dried out.  The sauce is light and does not overpower the Pork or Vegetables.  Yummy!

JOLLIBEE FRIED CHICKEN

LUNCH IN KALIHI

Hard to believe that a Filipino Fast Food Restaurant could have some of the best Fried Chicken on the planet.  Jollibee Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy is the best!
Carb overload but worth it.
