Nā pua = the flowers

9 03 2024

No Hawaiian language class this morning, but if there was, I would share this moʻolelo (story). Keep reading for the translation.

I koʻu holoholo wāwae i ka wahi noho kokoke mamua ae ka ʻaina kakahiaka, ua nāna au i kekahi mau pua: nā kokiʻo, ka manakō, ka pua lei aliʻi, ka niu, ka pua manu.  E nani e!

On my walk around the neighborhood this morning, I saw some flowers [pictured from top to bottom]: hibiscuses, mango, crown flower, coconut, and bird of paradise. Beautiful!

Hibiscus

E nānā kākou ana nā pua. Look for the flowers and be well.

A famous coconut

21 12 2016

Here’s the famous The Coconut dessert of Alan Wong’s restaurant in Honolulu. The occasion was Darling Husband’s (D.H.’s) 70th birthday dinner last evening. President Barack Obama, if he dines here as usual during Christmas vacation, is likely to enjoy this signature masterpiece, too. Reportedly, it’s his favorite!

Alan Wong's Coconut

The Coconut by Alan Wong’s: haupia sorbet in a shell of chocolate, served with fresh fruit in liliko‘i (passion fruit) sauce. How do they make it?!
