1. Seems like in Hawaii, Korean food has been popular from way back before time. But on top da continent, Korean cuisine has only been taking off from couple few years ago tanks to da popularity of those Korean taco trucks. So it’s not surprising that Korean flavors now stay spilling ova into snack foods. I got da Jack Links Korean Barbecue Pork Jerky ($6.19, 2.85 ounces) from Westridge 7-Eleven and da Eat Your Vegetables Korean Barbecue Chips ($3.99, 4.5 ounces) from Pearlridge or Manana Longs.

2. Wahiawa’s secret underground treats! I love ube ice cream so I been wanting for try these ube tarts for da longest time. One guy I know only as Mr. Erik, he been raving about ‘em for super long time. I finally got for try ‘em. Hooooo, taste-es suuuuper ono! Mr. Erik tried for explain wea da place stay, but if you dunno Wahiawa, hard, he said. Da place no more clear signage — only get one small sign on top da door kine. So you kinda gotta know wea for go. And he said dey only open weekends and certain special holidays. And dey only sell one ting — these ube-flavored tarts, but dey usually get two additional special flavors each week. And mo’ bettah go Saturdays cuz dey only make one batch so by Sunday da special flavors might be gone. If you look da label no even give one address for da place. I asked Mr. Erik if you gotta give one secret knock or tell da password or what for enter da place. He just laughed and walked away. So maybe gotta, ah? Uber Factory is at 71 S. Kamehameha Highway. Original ube tarts sold eight for $10; special flavor of the day sold eight for $12; cash only. Visit facebook.com/pg/UberFactory.

3. Japanese Kit Kat bars stay all played out already. Da hot omiyage for locals for bring back from Japan is fancy kine canisters of chips. For da people who no more friends who go Japan, or if you get friends li’dat but dey no bring you back nahting, den no worry. You can jus go Nijiya Market (451 Piikoi St. or 1009 University Ave.) for check out what you been missing, like Hawaiian BBQ Pringles, Chip Star’s Lobster Bisque and Butter Shoyu flavors, along with several oddah oddities. Prices range from $2.49 to $6.59 a canister.

4. During da plantation days, Goteborg sausage wuz one of da cheaper sausages available. So as one kid’s snack, you’d slice, fry up da sausage and throw one dollop of rice on top. Kauai people says it’s one Kauai thing, but my cousin’s Big Island grandma used to make ‘em, too. Some people call ‘em UFOs. Some people jus call ‘em hard sausage and rice. Paina Cafe on Oahu offers one version dey call Jobos with furikake on top. Now available for da masses, 7-Eleven offers Goteborg Musubi ($1.75) as its take on this plantation classic. Some purists might be disturbed by da wrong shape, but it’s at least worth one shample, no?

5. Small-kid time lotta us local kids used to eat raw saimin at school. We would crush da Ichiban Saimin package, pour da dry soup base in da bag, den BAM, das our snack. Schools started banning that so nowdays kids no more da same experience. Plus, these modern keiki, lotta dem raddah have ramen as opposed to saimin. Will kids chance cheap-kine ramen? And will parents be tempted for eat this Sapporo Ichiban Ramen in miso, shio and tonkotsu flavors raw? 88 cents from Wal-Mart.
