A-team roadtrip 2015 Hawaii day-2

We woke up in our condo to the sound of jackhammers and left immediately to go to the beach, find some shoes for me, and go try out a place called Mike’s Huli chicken. While we were in target we noticed it started raining and decided we would go to the beach later. So we went to mikes Huli chicken for the best chicken i have ever eaten.

After a bite to eat at the Huli chicken truck we went to a deserted beach on the north shore so the Wilverine could wear his shorts granpa or pawpaw style.

On our way home we decided we were in a mood for shaved ice and stopped at a food truck gathering to try it Hawaiian style.  It was a blend of ice cream and shaved ice.  Not bad at all.

Huli huli means turn turn.  Huli chicken is really good rotisserie chicken cooked over an open fire on sticks that are turned over and over again = huli huli.   Local Hawaiian wood is used for cooking the chicken.  It is usually lightly salted with sea salt and flavored by the smoke from the wood.
