Chris Wong: A fish market near Kauais famous Kilauea Lighthouse. The cafe, housed in a century-old pineapple plantation building, serves an ahi wrap, the cafes most popular dish.
Chris Wong: Hawaiian sourdough and Napili brown bread. Offers unusual breads, desserts by the slice and tropical-style Danish pastries with such fillings as macadamia nut, lilikoi, guava and coconut.
Chris Wong: The most popular sandwich is the juicy local boy burger, which features teriyaki sauce, cheese and pineapple. Order ahead on busy days when the wait can be a half an hour or more.
Chris Wong: the pupu (appetizer) selection is excellent. We loved the artisan cheeses, barbecue ribs and sweet potato ravioli with lemon grass cream sauce.
Chris Wong: We tried the specialty saimin, a steaming, heaping bowl of ham, Chinese cabbage, pork won ton, roast pork and saimin noodles in a hearty pork broth. Also terrific: the teriyaki beef or chicken sticks.

Chris Wong: Can be touristy. Ask for seating in the Bamboo Hut Bar, which is family-friendly -- and affordable -- and offers such items as nachos, ribs, fish and chips.
Chris Wong: A place for fresh fish to grill or eat. Hook a deal on swordfish, yellowfin, moonfish, wahoo and smoked fish such as marlin, salmon and ahi. Try a cold or hot plate to go; the menu varies day to day.
Chris Wong: The ice is as fine as powdered snow. Choose from 60 flavors, many of them tropical tastes such as coconut and mango, and others such as cotton candy and pistachio.
