Aloha all!
I was homesick for the island (even though I only lived there a year), and stumbled on to this site, yay! I LOVE Hawaii and her people, and finally found a home for my wandering soul. No matter where I go, Hawaii just feels like home. I sometimes wonder if this offends the locals, who -as I remember it- cherish their heritage.
Now I live in Germany. The Germans almost have more rules to protect the forests and land than the Hawaiians do!
But I miss the breezes, perfect nights, Lanikai beach, Scuba diving, the smiles and Aloha spirit, and the FOOD! I'm looking for a recipe for Mana Pua. You know, like the ones sold at that 7/11 on the North Shore, coming out of Hale'iwa towards Schofield (or is it Hale'ewa?)
Can anyone help?
Mahalo

Welcome Corrina.
Are there any Chinese restaurants near you? You maybe able to find a manapua under the Chinese name char siu bao. We never make them though because we can just go to Chinatown - one benefit to being so close to New York.

Aloha Corrina,
In '89-93, I was stationed in Fulda. Being from Hawaii, I had the most toughest time in the beginning. I was fortunate to hook up with some brada's and sista's from here and was able to "survive". Are you there in the military? I am so happy to be home. I had been in Washington State before and all but it was so difficult in Germany for me. I know you will find things, and someone, to keep you going. If you don't know already, they have some Hawaiian Music stations on the web. It might make you feel a little closer to home. Good Luck and A hui hou...Keali'i |
