Opihi
These limpets are also called the “deadly delicacy”, because those who try to collect them risk being swept off the rocks by fierce Pacific waves. Opihi feed by grazing algae off the rocks in the intertidal zone. You can eat them raw or grill them in the shell and add some chili and soy sauce for taste.
Hawaiian Shave Ice
It is made by shaving a block of ice into very fine snow-like ice and adding flavored syrups. It originated in China and was brought to Hawaii by Japanese immigrants.

Rambutan
They are grown in Hawaii, but are native to Southeast Asia. The name derives from the word “rambut” meaning “hair”. They taste a bit like lychees.
