Blog of the Week: The Tasty Island

The Tasty Island Header

As I’m sitting here thinking about what I should make for dinner tonight, I find myself going through the list of local foods that I’d love to cook up. But where to start?

In Hawaii there are so many choices of what and where to eat. With the amount of cultures here we have a vast selection of foods. If you live in Hawaii or are coming for a visit you should check out Mixed Plate’s Blog of the Week – The Tasty Island.

Pomai runs this blog that shares the diverse ethnic flavors that Hawaii has to offer. There are recipes and reviews of eateries ranging from the local plate lunch-style stand to fine dining restaurants. But how exactly does Pomai rate his eating experiences?

Enter the Spam Musubi Rating System (I LOVE this, by the way!). If you’re not familiar with spam musubi, it’s basically a staple at every picnic, outing, party, sporting event, etc. locally (see below). Pomai “grades” different places judging on his overall impression of the restaurant, item or recipe on hand.

So if you’re looking to see how your favorite island eating spot did and what kind of Musubi Grade they got, head on over to Pomai’s blog. Me? I’m about to eat right now – all this talk of spam musubis, recipes and plate lunches made me hungry!

    Very cool, Liana! There’s quite a few Hawaii Foodbloggers out there now, and most have The Tasty Island as a link. I need to design a banner button though. The masthead with the manapua is too big, plus it doesn’t have the name on it. Just a montage image.

    My “Spam Musubi Rating System” is actually pretty lenient. I should be more critical, but I don’t want to sound like I’m bashing either. Main thing is that they’re honest opinions.

    Mahalo once again! Pomai
