After checking into AirBNB #2, we continued south a bit to visit Super J's Authentic Hawaiian Food. While I can't remember now, I'm pretty sure this restaurant popped up on a blog or one of the travel books we checked out from our local library to help with trip planning. Super J's was also featured on the Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". We were in search of laulau, a hawaiian dish with meat (in this case, pork or chicken) wrapped in taro leaves and then cooked.
When we arrived, we were still before the dinner rush and the only people in the store aside from the proprietor. We enjoyed chatting with her and stayed to try our food at the tables provided. By the time we were finished and heading back out, many more folks were beginning to arrive with their orders of multiple laulau for the evening meal.
Apparently the patrons of Super J's are about half local half tourist. On this afternoon around 4:30 pm, i believe it was much higher skewed to the locals.
