Aloha Everyone!
Wanted to share the great news - we just had our annual Board of Health inspection and received their top rating of EXCELLENT. We have continually maintained this status for years. It is extremely important that we maintain our facility and our food handling practices in accordance with Board of Health regulations for the safety of all of our customers. Rest assured that not only are we committed to serving you good, quality food but also that it is prepared and processed safely. You'll notice a sign on the front door that says: "No outside food or drink". By restricting outside food and drink (even water bottles), helps to reduce the chance for possible contamination from outside sources. We appreciate your assistance to keep our dining room safe for you and all our customers. The Board of Health has also reminded us that the patio area must be free of animals and cigarette smoking so please help us comply with this regulation to avoid a citation and to allow other diners an animal and smoke free environment in this area. We always strive to provide a clean place for you to enjoy our great food!  And by the way... Happy Halloween all you ghosts and goblins...we'll be giving out a treat for young and old that day. Hope you are all well - Malama Pono - Take care, Pam and Myron Kashima and all of the staff at Kilohana Grill |

DAYS OF MY YOUTH - MYRON KASHIMA
Halloween - Island style
 Halloween in a plantation camp was great as a kid! We got the usual candy but the best goodies came from our neighbors that shared their ethnic treats partly because they couldn't afford to give out store bought candies.
Our camp was predominately made up of Japanese, Portuguese and Filipino families. Here's some of the things that were given out....
The Filipino families gave us:
Bibinka: a sweet rice cake
Cascaron sweet rice cake on a skewer covered with a sugar glaze Bitsu bitsu: sweet potato fritter The Japanese families gave out: Age potate: Sweet potato Chi chi dango: sweet rice cake Andagi: deep fried round donuts  The Portuguese gave: Malasadas: donuts (no holes) covered with sugar We would eat the goodies as we went from house to house. It was a different time then, we didn't have to worry about being escorted by our parents or afraid to eat the home made sweets.
Of course, we won't even elaborate on the humbug we used to get into with water balloons, etc, etc. that were part of the Halloween fun.....(which my mom just reminded me about!)

POINT OF INTEREST: CITY OF REFUGE,
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII
Puuhonua O Honaunau on the Big Island
of Hawaii is the most famous and best preserved of Hawaii's ancient
places of refuge. Designated a national historical park in 1961, this
182-acre site includes the puuhonua and a complex of archeological
sites, including temple platforms, royal fishponds, sledding tracks and
some coastal village sites. Join more than 375,000 visitors each year
and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area and discover
intriguing facts about the early Hawaiians' way of life.
At the park, you'll encounter canoe
builders constructing an outrigger canoe the way it was built in
ancient times. There are demonstrations of traditional Hawaiian games,
including spear throwing competitions. Examine a massive L-shaped wall,
built around 1550 from thousands of lava rocks, which separated the
chief's home from the puuhonua. Inside this 1,000-foot-long wall are
fine examples of temples and homes of old Hawaii.
Hikers can follow a trail that winds along the coast for about a mile
to the park boundary. The trail includes several archeological sites,
including heiau (temples) and sledding tracks.
Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park is open daily. Orientation
talks are provided several times a day at the park's amphitheater. On
the last weekend of June, the park holds its annual cultural festival
with hula performances, Hawaiian games, and arts and crafts demonstrations.

PIDGIN CORNER - LEARN SOME LOCAL "SLANG"
Grind (verb) = means to eat
Grind (noun) - means food
Kurt Suzuki - the Oakland A's catcher signed his picture saying: Thx for the local grinds. He's saying thanks for the local style food that we serve at Kilohana Grill.
Or as a verb: Can't wait to go to Kilohana and grind some of their food!
