Muscle cars, pickup trucks.

Swimwear, holiday shorts, Hawaiian grass skirts, Aloha shirts with bright patterns.

Countless tourists make this city lively. People on the streets wear light shorts and shorts, walking, hanging out, and running. People sit on the roadside terraces drinking coffee and listening to tropical music playing in the store next door.

Music. There are pieces of handicrafts on display inside, with strange and bright colors and exaggerated carving methods.

Tianhai Zhixue walked on the glass bridge and stared at the indigenous wood-carved masks displayed in the window on the edge of the pedestrian street.

"Does it look good?" Raku Sakakihara asked the girl in the sunflower straw hat next to him while holding the camera.

"It's so ugly"

".This is called indigenous art, a handicraft rich in national cultural characteristics." Sakakihara tried to argue.

"It's still ugly."

"."

So straightforward.

Raku Sakakibara took a photo inside the window, reviewed it, and prepared the photo for his travel diary.

"Come on Yuki, the event has just started and we are going to have breakfast."

"What's for breakfast?"

"Special food."

Taking a taxi, Sakakibara took Yuki to the most famous local breakfast shop "cinnamon's" to taste Hawaiian specialty breakfast: mug pancakes and macadamia nut syrup.

Mug pancakes are small, easy-to-make pancakes, usually made in mugs or cups, hence the name. Pancakes can be made with different seasonings and toppings, such as fruit, chocolate chips, blueberries, etc.

The effect of a richer taste.

For Raku Sakakibara, who has never tried anything like this before, this is just a fresh fruit pizza.

Macadamia nut syrup (macadamianutsyrup) is a common Hawaiian specialty syrup. It is made from Australian specialty macadamia nuts, added with sugar and water, and cooked. It has a rich, sweet and nutty flavor.

It’s not greasy and seems to be one of the common ingredients in Hawaiian breakfast.

"Why are nuts, a specialty of Australia, a specialty breakfast in Hawaii?" When the foreign waiter in a vest and red collar served the meal, Raku Sakakibara specifically asked him in fluent English.

The waiter looked very enthusiastic and explained with a smile:

"Sir, it is said that in 1879, a Hawaiian named Walter Murray Gibson obtained some macadamia nuts from local planters during his trip to Australia. He brought these back to Hawaii to plant and promote them.

The growing conditions of this nut in Hawaii are very suitable, and it gradually became a local specialty and began to be widely used in local food culture. In my case, Macadamia nut pie and Macadamia nut syrup

, are all classic Hawaiian specialties."

"That's it."

Sakakihara put down the note-taking pen, looked up and asked: "Is this nut also used in other delicacies?"

"Yes, such as macadamia nut cookies, macadamia nut cakes, macadamia nut butter, etc. In addition, macadamia nuts can also be used as an ingredient in salads or other dishes."

While the waiter explained, Sakakibara took notes.

It seems

This restaurant is really the right one.

If you ask the waiter carefully, he will be able to come up with five or six kinds of special delicacies.

Raku Sakakibara glanced at Amami Yuki who was quietly eating pancakes in a mug, turned around and gave the waiter a tip of US$10.

"Then let's have another nut pie."

"Thank you sir."

"Wait a moment."

"What else do you need, sir?"

"Can I go into your kitchen and take some photos later? There's nothing special. I just want to make a travel diary photo and take more local food as a souvenir."

"Of course there is no problem with your request, sir. I will help you immediately to ask our manager for instructions."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

By the way, this Hawaiian breakfast restaurant called "cinnamon's" is where Sakakibara asked a local when he set out.

Although this is a small restaurant, it seems to be quite popular among locals. Some people even come from far away just to have this meal. The mug pancakes and macadamia nut syrup here are not high-end.

It’s an exquisite taste, but a nostalgic local comfort. I heard the local comment just now say that every time he recalls it, he will be filled with nostalgia.

Sakakihara took photos of these two things, and after checking whether the sentences in the notes were smooth, she found that Amami Yuki, who was sitting opposite her, had been looking at her. Her back was to the street full of tourists, and the sun was shining on her through the glass.

On the shoulders, the beige hair is shining and jumping.

Sitting with her at such a close distance, Sakakihara Raku could smell the elegant fragrance of her body that only girls can have.

In front of her were two clean eating utensils.

"Just, finished eating?"

"Well, I'm not full." Amami Nozuki stared at the portion in front of Sakakibara Raku.

Sakakibara understood what her little eyes wanted, and pushed it over to her, "There will be a nut pie for the two of us to eat later. In addition, we have to eat less. I don't know how much we will have to eat later."

."

"Good"

The waiter quickly brought the nut pie, and while giving another $5 tip, Sakakibara asked if there were any places with a lot of specialties nearby.

"I see that many people on the Internet recommend the Alamoa neighborhood. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Do you want special food?"

"Yes."

"Then I suggest that you, sir, go to the southeastern part of our Naweli district first. Although the Alamoa neighborhood has several famous and popular food and shopping streets, it is more international, with Indians and Japanese people.

There are people living there. The Nawili area is different. It is mainly famous for its local Hawaiian dishes and traditional 'fish tarts'. It is a good place to taste authentic Hawaiian food."

Sure enough, I worked hard to find the guide online.

It is better to ask someone who is familiar with the local area.

"That's it, this is very useful to me, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After taking Amami Yuki to have some breakfast at Cinnamon's restaurant, Sakakibara Raku took her to the Nawili District in the southeastern part of Honolulu without stopping.

"Should I take a taxi or a bus?"

"Bus!"

"Okay."

The bus left the restaurant, passed to Kalakaffa Avenue, walked west along Kalakaffa Avenue, and passed the famous International Market.

"There are so many ugly masks," Tianhai Zhixue said as she lay by the bus window again.

Sakakihara Raku was speechless for a moment, "Don't let others hear you."

Continue walking west along Kalakafa Boulevard and you will arrive at the famous Waikiki Beach.

This is the center of Hawaii tourism and one of the most prosperous and lively places in Hawaii.

In front of the bus, a long and powerful team came towards them. Tianhai Zhixue was immediately attracted and looked over with even more curiosity.

I saw the bus directly in front of me, on the main road of Kalakafa Avenue.

Several ethnic dancers wearing traditional Hawaiian costumes came forward.

"oo-lee-oo-lee——!"

Women wear flower garlands on their heads and wear navel-baring tops. Exaggerated bright colors and flowers decorate their Hawaiian tropical atmosphere.

They wore beautiful flower garlands and grass skirts made of coconut leaves, beat the drums in front of them, and jumped barefoot in the front of the parade along the street.

The men wore shorter coconut grass skirts, almost shirtless gauze tops, and a wreath of grass on their heads. Their movements were cleaner and rougher, and they clearly had a wild sense of power, but

The movements of the arms and body are unexpectedly coordinated.

In tune with the Hawaiian drum melody in the middle of the team, they walked towards each other from the front and enthusiastically slapped their skin with their palms to make a sound, allowing the audience who stopped to feel the strong South China Sea island style.

"ha-kah——!ha-kah——!"

The surrounding tourists and drivers on the road also gave way, holding up their mobile phones or viewing equipment to take photos one by one.

The passengers in the bus all crowded towards Raku Sakakibara out of curiosity and poked their heads out of the window.

Sakakihara Raku also quickly raised his camera to record the scene in front of him.

Tianhai Zhixue was stunned when she saw so many Nigerians wearing grass skirts, and her voice became much softer:

"So many people, so many grass skirts, what are these?"
