Big Daddy's Store ▪ Molokai Island

67 Ala Malama Avenue
Kaunakakai, Hawaii

After arriving on Molokai Island, Cee, E and I went searching for lunch on the main street. After debating between different small restaurants, we agree to try filipino food at Big Daddy's Store.

Big Daddy's Store is a no-frills lunch counter. You pick a meat and a vegetable dish, and it is served with rice. I think E ordered the Korean fried chicken that looks mighty good, with a side of mung bean.

I was still trying to be somewhat "healthy" and ordered the pork adobo, braised pork that really reminded me of the Vietnamese version of braised pork. The pork was well cooked and tender. The vegetables were a mix of okra, squash and greens.

We knew were eating authentic local food as we were surrounded by local diners. That's the way I like eating my food!
