oahu - honolulu: helena's hawaiian food

tommy feels at home at helena's hawaiian food...

menu b: pipikaula short ribs, kalua pig,  haupia, onions, salt
tommy says: great place to try some local fare.  loved the kalua pig with onions and salt.  this is a fantastic version of pipkaula (a spin off of kalbi) as well - the meat is slightly dried, but not so much so that it is jerky; it still has a good texture to it. haupia is bit on the stiffer side texturally, and maybe a tad too coconuty, but not bad. helena's is a must visit!
